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.

    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. 😁

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
