Heard rumor half a dozen Demons impacted by Covid. 
Any truth re this rumour.

Only half a dozen? Covid is infectious and the players are in close contact.

    Demons infected pre match! True or False?

    Played like True! 
    Didn’t run and seemed like North had 4 extra players.

    Seems you may’ve answered your own question.

     I watched them train today. They trained hard and look great. Having seen the session I’m super confident about this weekend.

    Sounds like this week they may have more spring in their steps!

    They looked like a different side to the one that lost on Sunday… full of energy, fit and fast and strong. They’ll come out firing on Sunday. ❤️💙

    A special shout-out to those who do so having never shown interest in the W comp.

    You can't have it both ways WCW. You want ( and I do to) more at games and by that more interest from fans. 

    First timers are perfectly entitled to comment positively or negatively to show they care. If the performance deserves credits that will be taken care of and equally if off the boil criticism is a given it is understandable.

    Last week was the worst MFC AFL or AFLW performance for a decade since 100 pt thrashings in 2013. 

    If the grapevine talk is even remotely near about Covid or similar we are now in Chris Scott 2021 Prelim Final territory and we don't want to go down that path. 

    Our team has indisputably earnt the right of a second chance but if any of the last 3 performances are repeated that will be curtains I fear. 

    However there is too much class and spirit in this side to give away this opportunity without a real fight so like a champion horse does I believe we will win in a tight one and live to play the Lions again in Brisbane.

    Firstly: someone coming to this thread to disparage “straight sets Simon” isn’t interested in commenting on the W comp, good or bad, so instead should take that sh!tt to another thread.

    Secondly: *If Covid had swept through the team and hit several players hard and impacted our games vs Bris and especially vs North and everyone knew about it, do you think you’d be the only one making the Chris Scott comparison? Every man and his dog would be doing so.

    Finally: your last paragraph is spot on. That champion horse you mentioned will well and truly bolt out of the gates this Sunday. Geelong will be an also-ran.

    *”IF” because apart from some players telling, for example, a cheer squad member, we don’t really know, do we. 😉

    Hanks had almost admitted ill health in interview on afl.com.au. But said all who played were fit Tom play. 

    Still don't agree either with you on your opinion just because you don't like their views on Goody or our team. 

    If they  belong to D/L they are able to post snd as long as Andy passes it  that's it. 

    That's what this forum is in Many ways is about.

    Hanks handled it extremely well unlike Scott.

    Funny that a young player showed more class than a senior coach.

    Allegedly the illness took hold just before the Brisbane match. The following week was the most impactful. Even the coach wasn’t spared… allegedly.

    (When Zanker has one touch to 3/4 time you know it’s gotta be something pretty serious.)

    58er, I never said anything about ppl not being allowed to post. Why would I? It’s not like I have that authority. I expressed my dislike of ppl who use certain threads to air their grievances about something or someone totally unconnected. As you and many others say, I’m entitled to my opinion, right? And in my opinion these ppl need to pull their heads in. That’s my opinion. I know there’s Goody-bashers on here, nothing I can do to stop that. But surely I can suggest they take it elsewhere, especially after a humiliating thrashing of our W team which has left many of us on here devastated. Ppl need to read the room: a little sensitivity’s not too much to ask, no?

    PS: my comment was in reply to another poster’s very similar comment. Just curious: why question me and not the other poster? This isn’t the first time it’s happened and you’re not the first person who’s done it.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
