One of my close friends is a Hawks fan and he's still haunted by Milkshakes goal from 2018 finals campaign 

Maybe a repeat?

    Majak to make his debut if Jacko is out?

    Now that would be interesting and very likely to succeed

    Probably won’t happen though I was just throwing it out there more likely to be Weid or Tmac in to give Max a ruck chop out

    I think we'll be ok. LJ hurts because he gives great backup for max & sometimes is the best choice.

    We coped without Brown the other week & last week won without viney & lever

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

    Sounds fair.

    But this hand slapping with crowd afterwards has to stop.

    I've accepted he'll get a game.

    It's quiet obvious the coaches are desperately wanting to get him into the side for some unknown reason.

    Did sparks fly when your hands touched, Civil?

    I have to say it’s not ideal having 3 going out this week but how good is it being a Dees supporter when you are still confident with getting the 4 pts and having 2 stars step straight back in.

    Again I find this intriguing and fascinated to see how we cope, I expect we will have more than 3 players and 1 coach go down, then it gets strange.

    We would have had many players test positive earlier in the year and therefore they are at a much lower risk to contract it again.  Having a few go down doesn’t mean we will more

    Imagine our defence with Rodman in the team. 

    The stat line would read:

    Kicks = 0

    Handballs = 0

    Marks = 0

    Spoils = 22

    Umpire dissent = 4 x 50’s

    For him, maybe. For me it was a little meh, whatevs.

    Haven’t washed my hand since, not planning to anytime soon. 

    Anyways, I’m more of a Steven May-restraining-order kinda gal.

    Unlikely to be that high given a majority of the team have already had it earlier in the year. I know it doesn’t stop you from getting again but the risk is considerably less. It’s not the same as what has happened to WC.

    Only way Majak would play is if Max goes down

    Opportunity for Daw (Jackson)  I suspect.  Reprieve for Dunstan (Sparrow). .   Bedford likely to fill in for Kosi.  Lever and Viney to return.

    Not going to happen, Gus's current role is way to important to the team structure.

    Tmac in to allow Weid to do the Jackson role. Weid has been training with the rucks and has been doing that role with Majak when playing for Casey. Otherwise I think you are spot on.

    Interesting that the two WA boys got it, as well as the SA lad. I’m gonna guess that they may be amongst the few who didn’t cop it here over summer, after spending time back home on their break. Hopefully, the rest of the boys have had it and have stronger immunity.

    Kozzie shares a house with Spargo and Bedford. I did wonder at that situation but they may have already had it as you said. A good thing that the close contact rules have changed. As an aside, Tuesday last week I stopped at the Cheeky for a coffee, a black Ford Ranger parked in front of me and Koz and Toby got out. Didn't get a chance to talk to them as they looked to be in conversation with one of their sponsors. I don't know the gentleman but I did hear part of the conversation and I do know both players have a common sponsor.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
