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?

    If he does, that will clearly give Mitchell the edge! Never worked for Goody.

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
