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…

    I wasn't worried before. But now I am nervous.

    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: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
