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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
