It depends who the player is.

Yeah well recent whinging was about TMac and Harmes who were blitzing when signed to long contracts that no-one here complained about at the time.  If they'd only signed for 1 or 2 years there would have benn plenty more whinging.

Small joke to start 2021 sue. The world is a fairly sad place at present.

Given the WA premier's approach to risk management of the virus the AFL is running an enormous scheduling risk leaving the two WA teams in Perth.

Qld closed the border to Victoria today and I'm sure WA and SA will follow.

I have no easy solution and I'm sure it's the same at the AFL. Sure you can have bubbles and groupings but no one wants a repeat of the mess of 2020.

FWIW I'd be playing all games in Victoria for say 6 weeks and then move the circus to SA for four weeks, WA for another four and then four weeks in Qld. Final 8 weeks and finals series TBD.  Use country ovals in the relevant State (eg Wangaratta ) for the lesser matches. Sure you run the risk that when the circus is ready to move States that the receiving State will block you but at least the comp continues in the then playing State.

Edit note: Appeared the report on Qld closing the border to Victoria was premature. Qld is formally recommending no visits to Melbourne

sorry I was on a usually very reliable forum (Whirlpool) which appears to be wrong.

The official line is:

Despite holding off introducing border restrictions with Melbourne, Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young has warned against travel to the southern city.

Dr Young said as a result of the new case in Melbourne, anyone who had been in Melbourne since January 29 should come forward for testing and isolate until they get a negative result.

The glass half full brigade (ie- Gawn) reckons Brayshaw and Viney will be there for round 1. VDB should be ok if he warrants a game.

he doesn't have mfcss, which is remarkable really given everything he has witnessed when injured and / or on field

How come you have not ruled out Melksham he has done very little training also ? 

Rosman  a shoe in on the other wing.

forward you'd think if we need him

but coming off an injury- and illness-interrupted preseason, hard to see him being 'match fit' for round 1

Done more training in full match practice than Melksham!!

Others will stop Goody this year and he is obviously not fit! 

I know some of the arguments against but I'm wondering whether we look at playing Salem on the opposite wing to Langdon. He's by no means quick but he has really good disposal and it would be nice to have that delivering to the forwards. Perhaps a situation with himself and Rivers rotating in there.

I'm not sold on the idea of Melksham in the midfield, perhaps I'm just scarred by his poor output in 2020.

Line that idea I have picked Salo in my early dude's fir 2021 but lately based on his form determination and the track reports are convinced that Fraser Rosman is advanced enough in his development and also importantly physique. Plays naturally and creates opportunities with run all day.
No point in delaying him if he is ready and earned an opportunity on the wing.Will also add to our marking wherever he plays at 193cm.
 

However Salem is still a great option fir wing or even half forward with his elite Skills.. 
 

Also don't  think we should rule out either Bowery or Laurie for a start up forward wing or even half back using Jake as a Caleb Daniel type.

Plenty of options I MO if the newbies show up in the trial games,

But still like moving Salo further up the ground Pates your idea and mine is a good one. Sales last few games in 2020 were top class in output and impact.

I am actually scared by Melksham being in the side.

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
