fox sports has been doing it for years during the escort community service cup

makes no difference - a lot of them are still terrible play-by-play and 'special' commentators

fox generally has a body on the ground so it'll be interesting to see whether 7 do

is bruce going to be calling from a bunker in adelaide while the others are in melbourne?

the Crows training saga could have serious consequences. AFL are talking premiership points and/or suspensions according to Caroline Wilson talking on 3aw.

She also let on that clubs were told that a player breaking social distancing laws could look at a season long suspension.

Wow that’s ramped up!!

I heard a News Report this afternoon where it was said that nothing would happen. I am glad things have changed. 
 

I am sick of Sportsman setting their own agendas. 
social Distancing is 1.5 metres

Deal with it

the SA Police let them off with a warning but the AFL penalty is yet to be decided. I suspect that it will be financial only but Gil may wish to stamp his authority. Suspension of the coaching staff involved could be the halfway house.

Hehe a big penalty will go a long way towards easing the supposed Vic-bias tensions!

WA Premier keeps on saying they wont lift the border restrictions so no idea of when WA may open.

The plus is that they have as I understand been letting in fifo mining workers all along so there is some precendence for exceptions.

WCE v Richmond or Collingwood at Perth would be  a nice opening round game

Not doing themselves any favours, especially if they want to lobby to move the GF in future.

Fine. 2020 can be a 16 team comp and they can sit it out.

I’m not sure if this has already been discussed but with the NT pushing their case saying they can have crowds I wonder whether (like the Suns) we’re pushing to still play our usual Alice Springs game this year. Would people here be supportive of it?

Crows copping $100k fine and losing two draft picks apparently, according to Tom Browne
