    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!

    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

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
