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?

We have the list to win a GF compared to the other top teams at the moment. the main reason we don’t Win it will be mental toughness. Do we have the hunger and will to do what it takes week after week? Let’s see. I’m backing us in

The way we respond to a loss is important. Calm reasoned minds prevail. I see some on this forum. hopefully the team can retain its confidence, re-embrace the team first mantra and continue to fight on. Salem and Viney in make us immeasurably better. No major changes in the fwd line are needed. We didn’t lose the game there

How did Holman get 2 weeks for that 100% legal and fine tackle???? He won a free kick FFS and there was only one motion.

Nothing went right? Sydney WC and Richmond lost! i don’t care about being 1st and catching percentage of the dogs

Looked like Anb was going to get the kick if it was awarded. On his left I’d say most likely outcome is a point. So a draw. a horrible weak call no doubt. The umps gave us plenty of dodgy free kicks throughout the game. We should have won this game regardless if this call
