Sheesh, people parked their MFCSS in the training thread when mentioned Oliver didn’t train today. I thought everyone would’ve had kittens.😁

The HS are reporting that Oliver has the flu, did not train today and is not a certainty for Monday’s game 😬

If he's not %100, he's one bloke who must be rested.

He cops a hammering every game, so you'd think a week off would be beneficial.

He would be a huge loss, but FMD, if we can't beat the undermanned tiggers without him we're kidding ourselves about being serious contenders.

I noticed you’d mentioned that, DZ. I was surprised no one reacted. I was expecting mass coronaries to take place.

You’re a true martyr to the cause

Not gonna lie, it felt all sorts of wrong weaving yellow and black. Especially since I was doing it on my own, and at one point I looked up and there was about a dozen Toiges standing behind watching me, silently. It was one of those what’s wrong with this picture moments.

Really hope Dunstan gets an opportunity.

Yes as @layzie says the $23 is for your reserved seat. In theory it's going to be in a better location than a GA seat if you just turn up. "Better" depends on where you prefer to sit though.

I prefer to be behind the goals over the wing but that's not necessarily thought of as "better" by the ticket allocators.

Level 2, behind the goals, Punt rd end.

Can’t go wrong.

Melbourne will give star midfielder Clayton Oliver every chance to prove his fitness ahead of Monday night’s Anzac Eve clash with Richmond after he missed the club’s main training session on Friday, due to flu-like symptoms.

The Demons kept Oliver away from the main group as a precaution as he trained on his own on Friday afternoon.

The players have a day off on Saturday, but Melbourne hopes Oliver will be back with the main group for its captain’s run session on Sunday.

The Demons look set to regain Max Gawn, Jake Lever and Michael Hibberd for the big Anzac Eve clash, while coach Simon Goodwin said Angus Brayshaw could have some more midfield minutes against the Tigers.

Oliver will not miss because of a sniffle. It’s Oliver. He’s played with a broken hand before. 
Only if he has Covid will he miss. 


Saying he trained away from the group but had symptoms… just what we need is a freaking virus to decimate our side before our bounce back game.. MFCSS running wild.

He's had a crack before Dazzle - he just seems a little below AFL nowadays.

Yeah he'd have to be pretty sick to miss surely. A few days to recover he'll be right!

I don't know why we didn't look for another tall forward given Tmac's foot injury and Weid and Jackson leaving.

Not sure about the voracity of need.

Currently it might be nice to have a walk up starter....and maybe we do.

Ostensibly Tmac was o.k.  ( granted and possibly like yourself  he's a risk in this regard ) The plan  had been Grundy and Gawn to rest fwd..   Hasn't gone to plan .

Brown... meh...   

The Roo....  definitely a positive 

Point is we have quite some depth. 

Schache has his abities and in a fashion is the very filip you address. He doesn't seem to excite too many here....but he has played finals and equitted himself more than fairly.

These players are either good to go when required...or they wouldn't be there surely.

We've had a cup and a half of bad luck/bad timing. It's testing us.

Personally i think the cattle IS there.....it's whether there's good enough selection to back them. 

P.s....there's Petty... but cant rob the backs when they're light on

We all remember what Trac dished up last year coming off a flu - if he’s not 95% or better than he shouldn’t play.

Isn't "flu like symptoms" the way they are describing it these days, presumably to prevent triggering the facebook certified medical experts?

Very good point Gawndy

 

Not to raise the alarm but I’ve just come out the other side of the flu, 1 week properly bed ridden and then 2 weeks well below par to follow.

I’m not old (37) nor am I an elite athlete but I’m fitter than most. This is the sickest I’ve ever been 

Hope Clarry is ok

  • 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.

    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.
