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

he could have anything from a 24 hour sniffle to covid

we just don't know

will be a nervous wait

    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 

    I’ve had the flu twice over the years it’s horrible. First time I was literally imagining things with a temp in the 40’s. Second time bed ridden for 10 days.

    alright i may have been triggered. i ain’t no doctor but i work for a company that makes a influenza vaccine. 

    experiencing an influenza infection means you are out of action for two weeks and likely in bed for 5 days. 

    people refer to flu as having a cold or more accurately flu like symptoms. We have not been told Clarry has an influenza infection. he has a cold or a random viral infection. let’s see how he pulls up. he’ll be fine. if he is hydrated and energetic on monday he will play

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

    Don’t mess with overexertimg and flu.   Can have very very serious consequences.

    Is this a trick question? The players never toss the coin.

    I’ve had some bad doses of man flu as well.

    But if Clarry is training as reported (away from the group), it can’t be that bad.

    It's April 2023 and some people still think that the team will line up as announced on Thursday night.  :rolleyes:

    yes, they never do, but Chandler at half back is just plain hilarious.

    As much as I've always liked seeing a team named in position, they may as well just post the selected squad in alphabetical or jumper number order these days.

    Between the lines I am asking as to who will captain the Dees on Monday.

    "Tossing the coin" is just an old saying saying meaning who is captain today.

    Reverse order please.

    I bet Yeates, Yze and Ziebell were always annoyed at school when the teacher marking the roll started at A and said "You can go when I've called your name".

    It's a home game so should have GA access on your membership.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
