Reluctantly, but I’ll have a crack.

Can hold their heads up:

6.  Hanks

5.  Goldrick

4.  Hore

For effort only, on a day when most of our players wandered around like lost sheep:

3.  Purcell

2.  Heath

1.  McNamara

Can’t rule out illness.

That's what I can muster in a team that played like they'd never met each other before. On WCW's intel, I'm hoping that was the result of some kind of fever dream...

Is there something we don't know?

I’m sure it’ll become public knowledge soon enough.

Are you able to elaborate on this WCW?

Yes, I actually can now. Covid swept through the team. It began the weekend of our last H&A vs Brisbane. It hit more than half the side, to varying degrees. Some players were badly impacted to the point of not being able to train during the week between the Brisbane and North games. Even Mick wasn’t spared.

At Sunday’s GF, the North cheer squad said they knew about it and felt for us (of course, that didn’t stop them from smacking us in the QF) and I’m sure Geelong knew as well.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

  • PREGAME: Geelong

    After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
