    True, they managed to pick up another 5,000 today too. I'm sure the players will be cautious.

    There needs to be a COVID ladder to see which club has missed the most players through H&SP
     

    actually, roy wa today got over 17,000 cases, the highest in the country by some margin

    i'm sure the club must be aware and will take precautions......i certainly hope so

    Thankfully our players' parents didn't 20-30 years ago.

    That will make them even more keen to get him.

    I'm sure they'd like Clarry and Kozzi too but good luck with any of it

    LJ seeing WC being unfit and ill disciplined should do wonders for us signing him on quickly

    Sorry ambiguous post, meant additional 5,000 on top of yesterdays number of 12,000 just phrased poorly. 

    At least the game next week isn't against a challenger if something does happen

    We can't just go into the next 2 weeks thinking these are walk in the park games. Eagles and North are done for the year and have nothing to lose so they won't have an issue taking risks. Rest anyone who is injured but if a rest isn't necessary then leave it be. If We play hard and decimate in seemingly simpler games then get the 8 points and get a percentage boost as a buffer. Many say that the next best teams after us are a long way from us but really they aren't that far. Freo and Brisbane have only dropped 1 game and from recent matches have a handy percentage boost. We drop a game as it stands and we drop to 3rd - we can't be complacent. We play each game hard and don't back down

     

    In Goodwin's press conf this morning it sounded like no changes.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
