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.

    Just tried to load up on the Hawks but Sportsbet gave pulled the game. 

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
