Not the worst idea....if they can actually get out of bed that is... Lots of data coming out that even professional athletes that have little to no symptoms are still impacted in lung health for upto a month. Dr Peter Larkin mentioned this on the radio earlier in the week. 

That could become a bit of a concern considering how much our game plan revolves around running and how taxing it can be over 4 quarters..

    This is odd if ANB trained today must have got symptoms later in the day

    Or no symptoms, positive rat or close contact…

    Or some players and staff with symptoms have been doing multiple RATs per day (which is sensible)

    Can definitely test negative of a morning with slight symptoms and positive in the afternoon with barely any change in severity

    Yeah you’d assume he did a RAT before training though unless they are doing 2 a day…

    Maybe but it's also called being practical DD.

    Can someone explain to me when are they gonna get rid of all these H&S stuff? Surely with player triple or even 4th jabbed and most of them already caught the disease it's just around the corner.

    I worry multiple games missed, like the flu this disease can present again throughout the year.

    ANB would also be the club house leader in “holding the ball against” decisions.

    I don’t really see the point 

    You see you need 22 players to play in a game of football. And a sub of course. 4 of them will begin on what is called the ‘interchange’ or ‘bench’ as it is known in some parts.

    I'll be spewing if Oliver's consecutive games streak gets torpedoed by this bloody virus in the coming days/weeks.

    1st for tackles.
    1st for goal assists.
    5th for frees against (behind Gawn, Pickett, Oliver and Joel Smith - and equal with Lever).

    Baffles me people still try to put ANB down.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
