What's the testing protocol for the players? Is it only if you have symptons or do they all get tested regularly regardless. It's pretty clear that there is an outbreak amongst the Blues so I wouldn't want any of their players to unknowingly play and it flows onto us. I guess that's just what we'll be dealing with this year.
God, I hope they play Walsh. We will run him off his feet. Would be a terrible choice.

Why would you think that? Walsh is one of those aerobic freaks that's probably fitter than most AFL players even after a month off. He'll end up with 25 touches and play a significant role. A less than match fit Walsh is a significantly better option than Paddy Dow.
Where did you see that?

Much like Bailey Smith, Walsh has high natural endurance. Apparently he has been training since last week.

Walsh is the last guy you'd have to worry about being underdone. If he's in, then he's ready to go.

No Cera covid protocols QUE SERA SERA for the blues
Hi Dogs fans.
What is going on with Lachie Hunter? Not just the quiet game last week but bigger picture. Is he not getting along with Bevo? Is his place in the side safe? Is he going to be pushed out? Or will he bounce back like the good player he normally is?

In a completely over the top fashion - I’m completely ready to write off this season if we go in basically unchanged tonight. And I’m usually positive. I see no reason to believe this line up we’re stuck on will challenge, and I see no reason to believe Bev will change. Prove me wrong please
I'm in a similar boat. We keep going to the same well and it's just not enough. Sweet has to play Schache Cordy Hannan are just not good enough

Walsh is damn near impossible to run off his feet. Better endurance after a month off than a lot of players are at their peak.

There's no question mark on Walsh's cardiovascular endurance but match fitness is so much more than that. The ability to get back up and keep running after a physical contest and after putting your muscles to the test with long kicking and the like. A combination of both of those is hard to replicate at training.

I don't think there is an issue with Bevo at all. It really is a form issue. When he gets the ball he hasn't been damaging for a little while now. And when doesn't have the ball his pressure stuff is just OK.
Bevo’s presser alludes to a few changes, based off of form. Bont will play. Martin unlikely, and apparently isn’t injured. Bevo did leave a window to potentially include him, though. I assume if changes are based on form:
In: West, Marra (Did well in the practice match just gone, apparently)
Out: Vandameer, Cordy

Where did you get your practice match info from? What did you hear? Thanks for sharing!
Bev said it in his presser.

I do understand this but I think this is a different situation for someone like Walsh. I’m almost certain he will play the game like nothing is any different and we won’t even notice that he hasn’t had any match fitness.
