Sam Edmund reporting our match will not happen tomorrow night, will be later in the year

I agree, but seeing we played a full intra club game 2 days ago, will we be reluctant to play?

Confirmed James Stewart will be quarantined

Gerard Whateley just revealed on SEN only 1 player will be quarantined. Unsure if that is additional to Mckenna or not. Let us play them tomorrow night !

Both matches are at Metricon . They need to give all facilities a thorough clean before the next 2 teams enter the ground.

Red, I can honestly only think of 1 instance in Goodwin's tenure where he made an effective change when a team had a run on, and that was Omac off/ Frost on to Hawkins at 3/4 time at the cattery , 2 years ago from memory. Problem was it was too late and we still lost the game. I'd be interested to know if anyone can recollect any other change mid match that had an impact! The lack of mid match positional changes has cost us many games.

I'd be swapping Jetta and Harmes roles. Ideally though Salem takes Harmes gig, who goes to midfield where he belongs .

I wouldn't be surprised to see Lockhart promoted next week. Thought he was stiff to miss out but it was probably only fitness concerns due to limited training.

Post of the year for mine Biff!

Lol! Off to a good start Tommy.

I doubt it will ever be the same unless some wealthy white knight club people prop the poorer clubs up. The 2 expansion teams could be in strife, Brisbane was already on life support. I'm not sure of Sydney's situation but I'm tipping they will struggle ( as will most. ) I wonder if going back to the roots of the original VFL will be considered? I for one would not mind at all. Whatever happens, it will vastly different to what we've become accustomed to.

I thought Groundhog Day was a comedy. Turns out it's true and it's a horror story.

How did you do that FD?

Are we sure? Wasn't it top 2 of each conference last year?

You'd have to think Super Rugby and NRL seasons are cooked with NZ border controls now

Langdon perhaps?

Biggest positives for me are our fitness ( best I can remember in decades) and our ability to switch play ( something we have rarely done well probably due to our lack of fitness. ) Both go hand in hand and will win us games of footy this year. We could be last quarter specialists this year which will be a joy to witness.

He was hobbling with ice immediately after the game on the ground shaking hands.i didn't see later on in the rooms but good news if it wasn't on.

He was hobbling with ice on his ankle post game

That was some pretty moving footage on a number of fronts. Harley clearly realises what an opportunity he's been given. I can't see him letting us down unless his body does. The fatigue the players endured on the beach is already showing dividends in the way the ran the game out yesterday. Im sure all clubs have this sort of footage, but I'm genuinely excited after seeing this, in particular the brotherhood on show

I heard today NikNat may be in doubt, bloke at work heard it on SEN ....anyone else hear anything?

Pretty sure I was there, was an intraclub trial.....i believe Phil Carman was the perpetrator in his first run with Dees.

I'm surprised how few on here seem to have opted for digital! Surely this would save the club a fair bit of coin. In saying that my digital membership hasn't arrived and I've been on direct debit for about 10 plus years. Any other digital opters received theirs?

Looking at the current membership tally, last year's debacle has set us back 4 years by comparison with numbers down 15-20% on this time last year. The tribe has spoken. The club as a whole have a massive job on their hands to restore faith.

I reckon Tomlinson is a lock best 22 if fit. He missed one game in 4 years for a more advanced team than us and it sounded like he only missed that game when they found out he was leaving them.
