    I still can’t work out why the back up state option for the grand final is run by the most paranoid man in Australian in relation to COVID 19.

    Absolutely. And did they think that covid would not raise it's head in W.A..Ofcourse it was going to and where and when was only a matter of time. If I was Melbourne I would be flying home tmrw after the game.

    So the team should just go rogue and not listen to the AFL…yeah that’s the way to go

    And people wonder why WA can so easily keep Covid at bay. They are literally socially distanced from Australia!

    heard the 2 truckies were fully vaxxed and masked, which helps a little

    but don't take my word for it

    Also reported they slept in their truck cabins. 
    But if I know crazy Mark, they’re going into a 3 day lockdown in the next 12 minutes. 

    I have a gut-wrenching feeling every time someone on here reports their pain in not being able to attend the finals, and especially our older supporters in what might be a historic year after so many decades of heart-break. I meanwhile have a lot of relative freedom living in the tropics - but not so sure if I want to attend, concerned that I can't keep my cool in public, in what looks likely to be 5,000 kms from home. No TVs to smash live. Yet, I'm starting to feel however that it's my duty to attend, to carry the flag for all of us. I'm not well-off by any means, and the flights would be a major hit, but if someone has a grand final guarantee that they won't be able to use, then I'm open to discussions in how I might be able to honour that. Maybe I can take a specific banner on your behalf, or live-stream from the ground? Anyways, pm me if you have any ideas. I don't want to come across as cheap. Go Dees!

    Yep. Keeping Covid at bay is by no means an easy feat, but behind Tasmania, WA has a whole desert and ocean to keep it out.

    McGowan argues that Australia is not just NSW, yet the way he has handled the pandemic screams of keeping the rest of the country isolated away from the state as if he doesn’t want to be a part of it anyway.

    will be interesting to see what he does next, given he has a potential Grand Final on his hands. Stakes would be a lot different too if a WA team was in it or there was an election around the corner.

    Great idea, good luck Skuit, hope it comes off!

    Easy to say in HindSight

    😬

    Just as easy in foresight though. 
    I mean, the list of exposure sites is a mile long now. Soon it’ll be quicker to name the non-exposure sites. Considering what’s at stake all players from all eight clubs should err on the side of caution. Get UberEats ffs.

    I heard there’s an opening… Roving Skuit?

    Turns out flights are insanely cheap. Just need to find some accommodation. There's a few posters on here who I am sure would vouch in the other direction.

    Gil has been conned.  Adelaide would be a far better option despite the fact that Port are looking good at the moment.

    I would have as much trust in McGowan as Biden does in the Taliban.

    No kidding. What stuff do you write?

    Jon Ralph "reporting" that Port will get to host a prelim if it wins tonight (which seems likely).

    We and Geelong will be going to Perth after this round no matter what.

    I write about the business consulting world for a crust, which is really far removed from my personal interests but does cover such a wide range of topics that it keeps me engaged. My own personal writing is in the little-known genre of fictocriticism, which blends fictive with academic writing and draws from numerous disciplines such as anthropology, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, literary theory and microbiology etc.

    If Port don’t win the flag they’ve blown a once in a lifetime advantage

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
