[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

I see Qld have put their hand up for the 2020 Grand Final. Is this the year we lose it?!!

Reported on ABC radio afternoon.

We don’t really play Thursday games so I have no real reference but I hate losing on Friday nights. Ruins the whole weekend. Never liked a Saturday loss either. Ruined Saturday nights. 

 Friday night wins are the best. 

Friday night wins, like hens teeth?

It’s 6:05pm. Great for people with young kids. Gives you 5 minutes to have dinner. 

Dinner is done by then... but then you have “Dog Love Books”, followed by “Bluey”, the it is wrestle time, then clean up time then books, then bath or shower then books again and then fingers crossed sleep by 7.30 - 8pm.

It’s all too confusing. 6.05pm. Ridiculously stupid time. That’s 2020 for you. 

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,683]

Any chance MFC members from non COVID hot spots can fly up and get a ticket for the GC or Hawks game?
 

There should be 6,000 allowed to Giants Stadium and we all know there will be bugger all attending.

It has something to do with the WC v ADL game starting at 3:30 so they can head home straight after, and they want a game in the 6-7:30 timeslot, before the channel seven game commences at 7:40.

It’s another example of Dees getting dudded by AFL.  GABBA and Metricon games can have say 20-25,000 attend. A real crowd. 
 

I’d be surprised to see 5,000 at our Suns or Hawks games.

You might have added an extra 0 or 2.

Honestly in this year of the virus does it matter and do we care?

At least it’s a Saturday. Can do early dinner. Shower and movie by 6pm. Have some popcorn and shut up until the game is done. 
 

So, about 6.15 then? (Our games are often over in the first Qtr)

[spirit of norm smith 16,206]

Lions playing 4 straight home games and now with parochial 10,000 crowd. Got to be a huge advantage.

I imagine a lot of things posted on the internet don’t age well.

Lockdown was a lot less painful when I didn’t have to watch Melbourne lose while stuck at home. 
Round 2 is going to require a LOT of wine.

Let's hope that Ch-7 put it on live,  on Ch-Mate.

Unlikely, I would have thought. The 6.05 pm slot provides Foxtel/Kayo with an exclusive product which I can't imagine them being prepared to forego.

Foxtel have been crying out for better games and now they have a Melbourne game they must be over the moon with excitement.

Get Perth setup for success. My favorite to host the 2020 GF. Makes sense.  And I hate the sandgropers

Ditto. Will be even better for them when neither WA team will be playing?

[dl4e 5,851]

Grand final should be played in Darwin.

No. Just no.

Anyone but them.
