Not necessarily. 
 

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

Was it confirmed they were both positive?

    Geez it didnt take long for Sammy Edmund to buckle on reporting on the names. 

    All 3 reasonably coverable. 

    Is Dunstan out given the head knock?

    I think ins are:

    Lever, TMac (LJ), Bedford (Kozzy) & Viney (Sparrow). Melksham sub.

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

    That’s what I thought when I was posting on here being a smartar*se about having spread covid germs to all the Essendon fans surrounding me at the game. Twelve hours later I was preparing my last Will and Testament. 

    Dante, rest heaps and drink plenty of water. Two to two and a half litres daily, minimum.

    Would Melksham come in for Pickett? Give him a go? Its a shame because Pickett's been playing some good footy.

    Well it could be worse. It could have been gawn, trac, may or Oliver.

    Bedford in for Pickett.

    Unforced change:

    Lever in for Smith.

    Not sure about T Mac, only because it's forecast to be very wet on Saturday with between 15-35mm rain. It might be better to use Weideman as Gawn's little helper and replace Jackson with a smaller player.

    Opportunity here for the "move Smith to the forward line" proponents to argue that Smith could be moved forward to ruck/forward just for this game to see how he goes.

    Not so sure that will be the end of it, but sportsbet market just back up, and we're $1.21.  Maybe that's all the outs after all

    I'm taking the opportunity to watch some of the floggings we've handed out recently, currently the GWS game.

    I'm just glad it's happened when we were playing good football, imagine if it was in the middle of our one or two wins a season.

    I'm outside of Australia so not too sure on the current rules... does a player only miss if they test positive or can they also have to isolate if they're a close contact?

    Our pressure rating would go from 200 to about 80 on that move alone

    Close contacts no longer have to be in isolation. That’s not just regarding the AFL. This is statewide.

    [censored] me, the thread title stating "Covid19 claims" is a bit intense...

    Thanks - so that means every time we hear "Entered Health and Safety Protocols' in the media and team selections, that basically means 'Tested Positive for Covid'?

    I bet they don’t play Tmac and we ruck Weideman. Hawks have no ruckman and it’s gonna be so wet. We don’t need to go tall.

    You reckon it could have been worse Dante? Gee wiz! 😝

    Other than the health concerns of those affected I see this as nothing but positive.

    Gives us a chance to blood some new talent and see how they perform on the big stage.

    Can't wait to see who comes in. Demonland podcast gave a good summary of who's been playing well in the VFL.

    Not sure you can automatically assume Lever and Viney will be back if they tested positive and were/are sick.

    Agreed, and a week isolating increases the chance of soft tissue injury, give them another week

    and they must pass 5 rats tests in 7 days. that's vic, may be more stringent for afl (e.g. pcrs?)

    I haven't heard that the AFL has reduced protocols in line with Victoria 

    Assume WA is different at the moment

    My understanding is AFL would have maintained higher standards to protect game or highest State standards for fairness (but only my uninformed view)

    Injury report said available 

    Some here say it was confirmed they were positive,  I only heard HS Protocols which at the time was for household contacts in Vic but notnsure AFL standards

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
