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: 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?

      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?
