Now we can start hoping for a positive result.... tonight!

Not sure it is MFCSS this time, they are rightly favourites. If both teams plays as they have recently the Dogs will win

Our pressure and intensity has dropped off in the past 4 games. I reckon the dogs will blow us away in the first Q and be up by 5-6 goals by Q time. We'll fight back a bit but still lose I hope I am wrong and we bring back our full ground pressure

Reasonable decisions made Salem in for Jetta makes us so much better. No offence Jetts id wager we won’t be as exposed at docklands with a lack of fwd pressure but we shall see

The winning team should get vaccinated while singing the song!

I agree. The game if it goes ahead will be more like an experiment or a circus.

Has Marty Hore been seen at BBQs Galore? that is the first symptom of covid

Could they not have spared 700 vaccines and get the players vaccinated FFS.

I think it's pretty clear the game will either go ahead or it won't I'll keep you all updated

So let me get this straight - we are 9-1 and have 2 friday night blockbusters for the first time in like ever and this happens? everything can go and get [censored]!!

Everyone is talking now like it us fully expected to have zero crowds this weekend. [censored] this [censored]

Do we have any idea why this game is postponed??

yep just a recommendation. Political (imo) in nature to distract the public as the vaccine roll out was so slow. It is safe for all comers and if you ask you can receive if illegible I am 41yo and hanging to get any covid vaccine

Just to clarify - the risk of a clot is not greater in under 50s it is just that the chances of being impacted by Covid is greater for over 50's which tips the risk/benefit scale over. The risk of a clot from the AZ vaccine for any age is less than that when taking the contraceptive pill

Only if you are over 50 or a health professional or have a medical condition. Also a lot of people mistakenly think they will get a clot if they get the AZ vaccine when the risk is lower than taking the contraceptive pill (why listen to doctors when you have facebook huh?) my mum is a nurse in a aged care hospital and only got her first vaccine 3 weeks ago. A shambles!

well days out from the game and it's looking more positive than yesterday at least. I was sure a lockdown would be called today. Any unlinked cases come in overnight and we'll be locked down But until that happens, I'm planning to go to the game. the capped capacity is not really an issue as I doubt we would get 20K people at the game given all the covid stuff going on. Fingers crossed, no unlinked cases. and a big Melbourne win!

Harsh but fair

Binman is officially the DL CMO continuing the tradition of random decisions ?

The Dog's depth is being tested. They have the following out: Dunkley Wood Treloar Martin Jong Richards Vandermeer Mclean that is 8 top 25 players and English and Lipinski potentially coming straight in after injury We have advantage in the ruck with Martin out. and hopefully we can use our fitness to good use Viney is critical to get back to lift our intensity around the ball and in general. Salem is also critical obviously. But even without them we have a good chance of winning

Clarry, Trac, Viney and Gawn is easily the best midfield we have had in 50+ years

I reckon Baker would be a chance to come into the team, maybe for Melksham Baker played well at Casey - as least stats wise

public gatherings have been capped at 30 people. masks required indoors I reckon we have no chance of seeing this game live 15 months on Covid is still an absolute [censored] of a thing

Bring in Bedford for Melksham and get some real fwd pressure happening agree we were too tall against the crows

Maybe it’s a slight strain and the club are not sure if he’ll get up so can’t say confidently either way until Wednesday training.

Could somebody that knows footy tactics better than me comment if they think the crows cracked our defence on Sat? They played man on man and didn’t allow lever to be free that much. I assume other teams will do this. Should we have a plan B or stick to our game plan? or is the issue not this and more a lack of intensity as evidenced by our contested possessions and tackles dropping recently?
