But not like the 3 players and Goody

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.

Yeah your right, the season probably wont go till September anyway,  due to nuclear strikes.

Still many more days for other players to show they have contracted it

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!

l thought petracca lived with kosi and another (maybe Jackson), although can't recall where that's from

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..

he was walking fine with no bandaging

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

[deanox 8,780]

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.

3aw news says melbourne have confirmed 3 players and their names won't be released until team selection announcement tomorrow night

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Betting suspended on the game.

This is serious !!

[Jaded No More 59,110]

At least our next game which is against the Saints is not for another 11 days
