Even with the 4 outs (as well as Salem & Hibberd) it's still a very good team, chock full of talent.  Run your eyes across the team looking for the good/top players and they are everywhere.  And our system will stand up as well

And there are about 6 players who will be desperate to hang on to their spot in the side

Someone mentioned to me that if LJ, Kozzie & Sparrow aren't effected too badly by covid, they'll get the chance to get away from footy for a week (another bye?) ... all 3 are still very young and their replacements will be going at it anyway. 

But covid can also be quite debilitating ... even for young & fit  athletes.  Fingers crossed the players affected make a speedy recovery

Petty being out is different as he has  just got back in the side but we're well off for tall depth with Tomlinson still being an emergency.  Adam hasn't done a lot wrong

5 goal victory and we'll shut down the last quarter again!

This year we have had up to 2 players missing ( except rd1 with more ). That is also  good players. Now it is 4 and this may have a telling effect. In a sense it is good some other players are getting a run but we don't want to drop one against the hawks. 

It’s easy to forget we were without Lever, Petty,  Rivers and Salem(for 3.5 quarters) round 1.

Lever, Petty, Salem round 2 and 3.

That’s 3-4 players in the same part of the ground. In some ways that should be more difficult to cover than one back, one mid, one forward/ruck and one small forward, as important as they are. 

We’ve covered incredibly well this year, I’d say the only team truly close to our best 22 was round 5 against GWS, and we all saw how that went. Hopefully we just get the W this week, go 2 games clear plus percentage in the top two and get our best 22 back for St Kilda.

 

Great opportunity for Bedford to shine and im sure TMac will be keen to make amends for being dropped.

Not a lot of midfield cover in the listed emergencies.

We have enough mids in the team already

I don’t understand: how can Grainger-Barass be an out as well as an emergency?

The positive is a lot of players are getting a nice rest. 

For those that have had Covid, did it make you feel lethargic?

I guess he’s not part of the starting 22?

Good luck to any KPF out there on a day like has been forecast for Saturday.

At least our midfield looks strong (please don’t jinx it). As again, this is where it will be won and lost.

Bloody oath it did. It was the thing that stood out the most for me (and the cough that almost made me spew)

Even my young wife was knackered for a week. I was still tired 3 weeks after testing.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw Bowser included.

Well then so much for several players getting a nice rest.

No, All I had was cough,loss of taste and smell, and loss of hearing, occasional headache. But otherwise no loss of energy🤩

Fortunately then, it would have no impact on the cheap red you guzzle by the gallon picket!

To be fair, the effects on people widely vary. On balance of probabilities you’d think extremely fit and healthy men in their 20s are likely to recover quicker than most.

The worst flu I ever had was when I was young and fit ( bike riding in extremis and gym) all lean lean muscle .

No I'm not fantasising  and it was quite some years ago yet I lost kgs and it took me weeks to recover.

As long as we get no more nasty last minute changes I think this is not a bad outcome. 
If we stick to our system we will win.

Fatigue was my partners main concern, other symptoms were very mild, tiredness just took a little longer to clear.

Oh good, just 3 of the 5 senses wiped out. Any impact on ball handling skills 🤪

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
