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.

    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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
