Geelong VFL side has a bye and named squad to play Academy in practice match. Only Narkle out of EMG named.

Expect Clarke or Guthrie to be medical sub.
Why on earth does a competition with an even amount of teams have byes in round 2?? Especially given the possibility of matches being postponed due to COVID restrictions at any time, it seems insane to me to not give the comp the flexibility of using them later on...

Now the Doggies are getting close to the winning lead, watch the free kick count even up...
not saying there’s anything to it but the number of games that get decided by the timing of the free kicks when the final account appears relatively even is higher than you would think
Are you implying the betting agencies are controlling the games.????

If Dunkley is actually cooked we're going to have to hang on to him.......... 🤦‍♂️
Yeap reckon most of us are low on trades at this early stage of the season.
Going to be painful to see the champion sat on the bench for a few weeks.

Do we know if any of Kosi, Highmore, Waterman or Jones (Ess) are playing yet?
I think it was @Goodie's Guns assured us Kosi would be in. I’m going to pop into VFL at Vic park today, so I’ll let you know about the Bombers guys.

Waterman named in VFL team. Not Jones though.

Edit: Waterman looks to be playing VFL. Named on field. (Also, a mystery spot to be filled for those into Cluedo.)

Looks like we’ll probably bring in Phillips tomorrow and 2MP stays forward. Tall. Don’t think it will be raining though.

Bit of a farce that he got within a point of Macrae from basically a nothing game of stats padding.
Makes Ash all the more appealing.?

After the mess of last week, Dunkley now gone for ??? Possible 2 donuts in DEF, Laird and Walker under injury clouds, the season is slipping away.

Notice North play Melbourne next week. With North now in a red zone i’m not sure i’d be confident that game will go ahead as schedule

Gawn, Oliver, Zeibell, Powell just to name a few ...

“Victorians in these areas must follow local directions. If they leave to enter Victoria while red zones are in effect, they must quarantine at home for 14 days. If non-Victorians in red zones enter Victoria, they will stay in Hotel Quarantine until a return flight is arranged.”

Note: Game scheduled for Tassie which might be a factor
Yeah, the new normal. ?.??

Reassuring for half my concerns.

Can anyone shed light on Bergman's chance of playing again?

I'm thinking of Campbell > McCreery but Bergman being dropped would definitely lock me into it.
Likely given Lachie Jones injured. Think they get some players back, maybe not enough to squeeze him out.

Still have no idea who to trade.
Laird and Houstan in Doubt. Highmore and Sharp also in Defence.

Calf concerns for Tex.?

Ohh good grief.

Thinking Sharp to the mids to replace berry. Bring in Stewart or Ryan.?


McCreey for Tex to finance the trade to Grundy next week.

And don’t think about the Dunkley injury.?.
