Jackson was a little off on Sunday Night, hopefully he wasn't already infected. 

Probably can't determine that 7 days from when discovered.

    Of our best 22 candidates I can’t see Trac (please god no!), B Brown (unlikely, just had it), Jackson, Bowey (Demonland I can’t see him which photo?), Petty, JJ, Sparrow, Kozzie, Spargo, Brayshaw, Tomlinson. 
     

    I hope it’s our VFL boys (no offence guys), worrying if Bedford has it as it looks like he was there…

    EDIT: while I was writing Jackson was confirmed.

    Is B Brown having had Covid confirmed? I know he missed a week (which became three weeks for other reasons) for "Health and Safety Protocol" reasons, but that doesn't necessarily mean he had Covid. He may have been living with someone who had.

    And I know (or at least hope) we all think this, but let's hope anyone who has Covid gets better quickly with no lingering symptoms. That's much more important than whether we win or not on Saturday.

    Betting suspended on the game.

    This is serious !!

    Bet365 has the market open currently Wadda and we’ve drifted alarmingly from $1.17 to $1.22

    Went to the game on Sunday night, I  was invited in to a club function and got a dose of covid there, there were a couple of coaches there and Robbo was the MC (?) so maybe that's where it came from. Watching the game I was seated next to one of the club Directors and he may have inadvertently contributed to the outbreak. I woke up in the middle of the night last night, with the sore throat, headache and runny nose, no big deal if that's all it is.

    I had a "close talker" having a chat to me and wouldn't be surprised if he spread it to a few there.

    As a matter of interest Lyndon Dunne was sitting in front of me and he was stirring the pot when a few Tigers fans were leaving, giving them the wave goodbye, they bit and were having a go back but Dunney just kept right on waving. There's no doubt where his allegiance lies.

    It can come on pretty slowly. Might pay to go get tested so you know for sure.

    Stay well.

    Please not be bowey.

    So LJ is one.

    I wonder if the boys will miss Goody's calmness on the boundary.

    Dam it, I'm all for players living there life but imagine if this happens in finals or gf week

    Hibberd is right to play but it is his first week back. I doubt he'll come straight into the seniors. Surely he needs to get some match fitness in the VFL first

    I dare say most teams would be willing to go into some type of isolation period for the finals

    From a positive perspective how demoralised will the rest of the competition be if we get up this week without our coach and another three of our better players.

    Thanks for your thoughts.

    I had a test this morning and I'm waiting for the results, but I had dinner with one of my sons last night and he's off to Hawaii this afternoon so I got  couple of RATs and did two both showed positive. I've told him and he's not feeling great about it.

    So far I've had worse colds that this and certainly "Man Flue" is far worse.

    You’re not joking. I’ve been trying to back Hawthorn and the game’s not even listed. (TAB)

    You would think that there’d be others as well by Saturday.

    Not necessarily. 
     

    Viney and Lever tested positive last week and they were the only 2 to miss

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
