True. I'm sure Garry Lyon has absolutely no insight about the assistant coach of the team he captained and was team of the century for and presented to the premiership cup to, particularly about someone he played with...

Port, GWS, GCS are the only real opportunities. I suppose you always need to start from the bottom. But boy i wouldnt want to goto any of them. 

Would turn GWS around just about instantly IMO. Lots of talent there, but relationships are a mess and game day strategy no good. Perfect scenario for Yze I reckon.

So @WalkingCivilWarwas lucky to slap hands with Max after the GWS game but this is now unlikely with her 'dreamboat', man, Steven May. 🙃

Uhm, he’s actually my boyfriend he just doesn’t know it.

Well don't make lighting  of a serious situation that affects players staff fans snd families.

Your  comment  was not appropriate as any one reading your comment would ask What  did they do to get Covid?  And immediately lay blame. 

Clesrly you are not a comedian Loges . 
 

And it’s another swing and a miss!

With all due respect to the majority of our side, I really hope the additional two players aren't any of Gawn, Petracca, Oliver, Fritta or May.

I guess I’ll just have to stalk him the good ol’ fashioned way. You don’t happen to have his address by any chance?

JK. Like I don’t already have a stake-out under his bedroom window every night.

Lever can marshal Tomlinson, Petty & Smith. Mitch Brown can take over Fritta's role for a week or 2. Daw for Gawn? Only swapping a G for a D and losing an N. Sparrow was our Petracca backup. Clarry - I don't see any like for like player to come in there. We'd require a re-jig of the midfield for the weeks he's not there. Do we throw Brayshaw back in there?

I presume we're all going through the exercise of working out who's most dispensible?? Or more particularly who isn't. 

Gawn/Oliver/Petracca/Langdon/Brayshaw are clearly irreplaceable. Fritta is borderline.

I know WCW wont be happy with this, but I think that May is. Tomlinson would come in and Lever/Petty/Tomlinson and several of Hunt/Bowey/Rivers/Hibbert/Brayshaw/Smith (hmm?) is still a pretty good backline. Any of Hunt/Bowey (although preferably not)/Rivers are replaceable by Hibbert/Smith.

I think pretty much everyone else is replaceable. 

It's a shame that Oskar Baker wasn't able to perform better when he had his chance. 

I'm sure everyone is hanging out for further news.

Replace Brayshaw with May. If we have both May and Lever on a non wet game we arent losing defensively. May is in a tussle for AA fullback.

On this issue surely all listed players would be having rat tests every day ATM and we would already know if anyone was positive today.

Last time I saw this much stress on DL was when the Dogs were up by 19 in the GF 😎.

rat tests

my experience with rats is that they test positive about 3 days after a pcr confirmed + result

Eagles got the sympathy of the AFL Family, wonder what we will get,  3 and 23

Nope, I’m really relaxed about it, i hope the players, staff and families are all doing well but otherwise can’t wait to see how the team and the individuals (from Yze and Co and 2s players) perform against those [censored] Hawks.

Tomlinson in for May? Yeah I’m ok with that. 😉 just for this week, though. 

well, looking for some positives here if it’s a bigger outbreak. Dunstan will get a decent look at things and hopefully feel more at home , and Bedford  can get off the pine at last . Other players who maybe thought they may not  get a game this year could also be exposed. Good fr the longer term… but not great fr Saturday is it. Crap way fr the winning record to be broken if it is .
