Daisy.

 I am glad that you raised this. 

Have tried to find which players have missed with Covid protocols  - as I recall they include BBB Jackson ?Tracc  all of whom have been well below par. 
 

So instead of slanging off at our players for being “duds” maybe some can try to think a bit deeper. And of course maybe those of us who think the Eagles are tanking could reconsider that many of them also were out with covid related issues. 

Haven’t had covid (yet) but it took me 6 weeks to get back to 100% from the current flu. Absolutely flawed me.
 

So it’s not surprising that Tracc needs time to get back to full health considering he apparently had it.

    He has an injured foot. His 1-1 numbers are good but the fact that he has had so many 1-1s is a problem. Teams have figured us out a bit and keeping Jake ‘honest’ and it is leaving others exposed.

    Or are we just undermanned and haven’t really had our backline together all year?

    That too.
     

    I feel for Hunt, he was exposed at the time we had an injured-yet-playing Lever and Petty, Salem coming back from injury, and May missing through concussion and idiocy.

    Our backline is getting there I hope. If we get close to top 2 it is on the back line’s coattails.

    His marking game is off the boil at the moment. Come to think of it, none of them have been able to catch the thing in a contest last 4 weeks. How do they all lose that ability simultaneously??

    I would like to know the answer to this too. Why are we getting outmarked all around the ground (or am I just imagining that?)

    Yeah this cold I've had for nearly 3 weeks and only just starting to improve. Everything is multiplied in terms of recovery at the moment.

    mentioned on radio that there is concern that some afl players could be suffering from effects of long covid

    long covid can have extreme effects but is in fact a spectrum of effects where it may not be noticeable as such but is enough to affect elite performance and appear as just a form slump 

    just putting it out there

    Fatigue and sustained high performance are definitely an issue. There's the elephant in the room with regards to hypertension and high heartrates in otherwise healthy young people after having had the vaccine AND caught COVID. Under-reported on but definitely present.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
