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.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
