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 

i think also the definition of a close contact is now less stringent

    Club operates re AFL ‘health and Safety’ protocols, not one state’s rules.  Assume these still have close contact iso provisions to meet the toughest standard (WA).  Don’t know if people are testing positive or just ‘close contacts’ under their rules?

     

    Did people notice the players greeting and touching fans after the match on ANZAC eve?  Wonder if this was the source of infection?

    Unfortunate for those affected but hawks on a 5 day break and starting to show signs of fatigue because of Mitchell’s gung ho game plan. We’ll win regardless

    We will still win imo as we have other players who can come in and play their role within the structure. 

    Go Dees.

    I wonder if Yze will coach from the boundary

    Yze said today he would coach from the box. Choco may be the man in the boundary role this week rather up the front than back

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

    Not sure about Lever but Viney is so tough he is currently running through brick walls and apparently gave Covid-19 a bad case of the Viney-22.

    Covid is out indefinitely

    Viney for Sparrow, Bedford/Melksham for Pickett. Dogga out sure hurts, as he gives Max a massive chop out.

    Hopefully no more out, but yesterday it was Goodwin, today is another 3, tomorrow? The whole round needs to be delayed so we can get our players back 😋

    Idk about last week, but post-match vs. GWS Maxy walked around the boundary touching as many hands as poss. And I know coz my hand was one of ‘em. 😁

    And I only had to elbow about 10 kids’ heads outta my way on the path to Maxy’s hand. 🙃

    Shows the importance of banking early wins and nailing close games.

    Given how we handled the last two years in the hub and 2021 I feel we have been very mature about rolling with the punches and just getting the job done

    OK   lose three,  gain two back. Only really down one senior player. Just allows the FD to have flexibility in selection.

     

    it is a pity but it is also a pity I did not win lotto last weekend.    We have the depth.

    We should still have more than enough quality to win this one, the Hawks are not at full strength either 

  • Quote

    It is what it is people. As long as it's just these 3 and no more pop up I'm confident we can cover them. Dogga was average last week and a game off will get him ripe for Saints. Kozzie didn't do that much but we will miss his one percenters. Sparrow been playing well but Viney covers him.

    Lever, Viney and a small to come in. Weid to assist in ruck. Simple and enough to give the Hawks a hiding.

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • 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?
