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

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

    Baffles me people still try to put ANB down.

    It betrays one’s knowledge of football.

    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

    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

    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?

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
