ANB is only behind Petracca for score involvements for us.... this one hurts big time he's not easily replaceable

Top 5 (on averages) here are....

1.  Tracc 8.7

2.  Clarry 7.5

3.  ANB (equal third with Dunstan but of course Dunstan's isn't an average) 7.0

4.  Your nickname sake BB 6.3  ; and

5.  Fritta with 5.5

Harmes is just behind Fritta on 5.3

If Dunstan fires up with a similar output to last week i reckon we are well covered here

    Baffles me people still try to put ANB down.

    It betrays one’s knowledge of football.

    ANB hurts most I reckon

    That run is hard to replace and has been critical to our game plan

    And the hitting targets when getting on the end is immense

    If Nibbler was training today then I expect there'll be more outs tomorrow unfortunately..

    Interesting that Melksham was brought in from outside the four emergencies announced yesterday.

    I wonder if one of the four emergencies got it as well as ANB, and Melksham was brought in.

    So atm more than a third of the flag team out. Wow, a win tomorrow would be special.

    Good stats, but his skill execution and overall performance has dipped this year after a stellar 2021.

    At this rate we’re going to have players play tomorrow and then test positive early next week and miss St Kilda.

    I’ll be super impressed if we can win the next two.

    Perhaps stop doing RATs until postgame from now??

    That risks next week against St Kilda… odd few weeks coming up I think

    Wondering if we would have been better fared bringing in Baker to cover ANB's role instead of Melk??  Although Melk is probably better at that kick coming inside .... oh well.

    From memory Melksham played the Hawthorn game early last year and was looking very dangerous

    He and Langdon kicked 3 in the earlier Hawthorn game last year.

    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.

    What difference does it make? He has COVID after he most likely developed symptoms this arvo.

    What is becoming increasingly clearer though is that RATs and daily testing using RATs are pointless. The club could have easily avoided an outbreak had the AFL employed PCR testing as the preferred method of testing. 
    understand it’s a bit more logistically challenging, and more expensive but in our case would have probably avoided this mess.

    He's had one fumbly game where his pressure and running was still elite.

    Just provided stats to you to show he's having a big impact this year.

    Seems you're just biased.

    Sad but true, the more the odds are stacking against us, the more comfortable I feel. 57 years of underdog status is hard to shake. 
    Go Dees.

    Day after Queens bday. Someone in the team needs to host a COVID party and bolster immunity for the remainder of the season. 
     

    There is a 10 day break.

    Makes you wonder if any other VIC clubs are going to cop it in the neck like we have.

    Apparently Collingwood’s entire squad (or most of it) had it in the off season. Wonder if they’ll cop a second round of it?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
