    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..

    he was walking fine with no bandaging

    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.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
