We get some of the softest suspensions going around. Barely downfield IMO. I find it infuriating that a player can elbow McKay in the head and get nothing whilst Perez goes for this...

Covid outbreak at North Melbourne​

A Covid-19 outbreak is threatening to derail North Melbourne’s preparations for Sunday’s clash with Essendon at Marvel Stadium.

Caretaker coach Leigh Adams and four players, including young forward Paul Curtis and former Tiger Callum Coleman-Jones, returned positive results after returning to Melbourne from Hobart.

Adams is expected to be available to coach against the Bombers, while the playing quartet will be assessed late this week before a decision is made on their status.

All players and staff who travelled to Tasmania were asked to stay home on Monday and training will resume on Tuesday.

It is the second time inside a month that Essendon could benefit from a rival being understrength because of Covid after Brisbane lost five players ahead of the clubs’ round 17 match.

It is a blow to the last-placed Kangaroos’ hopes of finishing a difficult season on a positive note, with the in-form Bombers chasing a fifth win in their past seven matches.

A brilliant after-the-siren finish from Magpie Jamie Elliott barely denied Essendon another win at the weekend.

North’s recruiting team is keen to add more mature players to the list this off-season, particularly in the 24-to-28 age group, but the Roos could now get a chance to expose more of their list this week.

They also have a lengthy injury list, with Tristan Xerri, Jared Polec, Will Phillips and Miller Bergman ruled out for the season, but dual club champion Ben Cunnington (testicular cancer) has ramped up his training.

Making matters worse is that Flynn Perez has accepted a one-match ban for rough conduct against Hawks star Jaeger O’Meara.

North Melbourne was also without Nick Larkey (heel) for Saturday’s 46-point defeat to Hawthorn.

The virus hit West Coast and Fremantle hard earlier in the year, while there have also been spot fires at various other clubs as the AFL warns about a challenging month or so ahead in that regard.

AFL players are no longer required to be fully vaccinated against Covid-19 but most teams are being more diligent in recent weeks as a safeguard against a North Melbourne-like situation.

Patch is a goodun. Got the win in his first game to show clarko what the list can do then designs creative ways to tank the rest of the year to get Clarko a good draft haul. Hawthorn in tassy? Don't defend against the breeze. Essendon? COVID outbreak. I look forward to what he comes up with against Sydney.

WTF? We prepare for this rubbish?
 
Please someone tell Blakey he can coach if Patch doesn't come up. Or at least tell him there is Covid in the team.
