    Could potentially be 4 players out, plus another unwell (not COVID though I don't think).

    Viney's crook and likely won't pull up. Jacko, Clarry, Sparrow and Toby are the names I heard.

    I know some of them were at training, but from a usually decent source.

    Yep. We can cover 3 players easily as long as they are not Gawn, Oliver and Trac.

    Ladbrokes also pulled the game. 

    Mined you we are now $2.70 to win the flag. Might be wrong but never seen a team that short after 6 rounds.

    We could be shorter odds to win the flag than our next game. I wonder if that has ever happened?

    Should we call Zaharakis and ask him to start stretching just in case?

    If that's the case, you'd think it's Tmac, Melky and lever back with Chandler as the sub.

    Depending on how many miss, this is a great opportunity for players at VFL level to have a crack.  A win or two with 5+ players out due to Covid will have the whole comp fearing us even more than they already do.  Get it done dees!

    Which begs the question what was he doing at AAMI when everyone else was at Casey Fields?

    Physio or gym session most likely.

    Not in isolation though..

    My thoughts exactly. Fingers crossed that it was just routine and part of the management plan.

    Viney, Lever, TMac, Hibbo, Tomlinson, Melksham, Daw, Mitch Brown

    That's 8 experienced and/or high quality players waiting in the wings right now as reasonable replacements.

    Plus some kids in Bedford, Chandler, Rodman, Laurie, Van Rooyen who aren't really best 22 but are developing along and would probably be getting a game in other AFL sides.

    Now is a good time to get covid in the club with virtually no injuries. Depending on who is out, we could lose 3-6 players and still compete/win.

    Yep true but you do have a higher immunity for around 10 months, so ive read.

    Ive had it but 4 weeks later im still not 100%, so im not sure how it effects players overall longer term. Hopefully their immune systems are better than mine.

    Good luck yourself. God, there's a lot of it around.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
