Always Right Match Committee - Round 19 Vs Melbourne 2021

[divvydan]

Rumours going around that the fixture will be changed for covid reasons and our Rd 20 game against Melbourne will be brought forward to this week, to be played, I assume, here in Melbourne in front of no crowd (again). Does that change the ins and outs that people want?

[The Pie Man]

Looks like we’ll play Melbourne this weekend instead (not confirmed, yet)

Maybe for match up purposes.

Left field one here. Do we rest the Bont. Give him a week to get that shoulder right and freshen up for the run home.

Adelaide would be the only game I’d consider. Would definitely need him against Melb, Ess, Hawks and Port.

Hard to make that call. If he genuinely needs it then yes otherwise the captain needs to be there.

Seeing a few ins mentioning Toby - I thought he had redone his ACL?

Unfortunately he has done his ACL. Those ins mentioning him were before posters knew that, or it hadn't happened.

JUH has had his taste, now time to bring back in our best medium forward Hannan.

Dunkley forced into home quarantine

Western Bulldogs midfielder Josh Dunkley has been directed by the Victorian Department of Health to undergo 14 days of home quarantine, after visiting a Tier 1 coronavirus exposure site last week.

Dunkley purchased a coffee from his local café on July 14, which was later declared an exposure site. He was contacted yesterday by the Department of Health, and his mandatory quarantine period begins from the day he attended the site.

Since July 14, Dunkley has received two separate negative coronavirus test results.

The entire Bulldogs travelling party also received a negative result during their trip to the Gold Coast, as part of the AFL’s testing regime.

Dunkley is complying with quarantine requirements and will be unavailable for this weekend’s Round 19 match, while the rest of the Bulldogs squad will continue their preparations as normal.

[Happy Days]

Bring the damn bye forward. Playing with fire here.

Yeah the AFL needs to pull the plug for a week no doubt.

[comrade]

This is *!*!*!*!ed.

So given Dunkley played on the weekend, should not now the whole team be at risk? Why is he out for this week's game, but yet everyone who he played with and against on the weekend is allowed to play?

[Axe Man]

At least it wasn't just before the game like GWS and the Swans copped. Would much prefer to be playing Adelaide rather than Melbourne this week without Dunks.

Yeah it makes no sense.
