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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
