[Pipefitter 2,027]

Need to win This as I can’t see us beating Adelaide or Gold Coast.

Only problem with this is that we most likely will not be allowed to go. 

This will also apply to games 2 weeks from now

[Bring-Back-Powell 13,350]

Awesome.

When do tickets come out....

I wonder what the sticking point was for the delay in announcement, since it appears the clubs had been told this was going to happen prior to Saturday night?

Imagine we've probably seen our last regular season game in person.

Bad week for Dogs, lost a player to ACL, another player to quarantine and now have to face the top8 juggernaut 

[titan_uranus 22,672]

It's unbelievably bad luck that the AFL has had two 1 v 2 games this year and both of them have occurred during lockdowns.

This is now three of (you'd expect) our top four most profitable home games lost due to COVID (Brisbane, Queen's Birthday and this, with the fourth being ANZAC Eve). We also lost a home game vs Hawthorn, a larger Victorian club.

Even if we get a crowd vs Adelaide, the best we'll do this year is to finish with six home games at the MCG in front of crowds for the season, and of those games four will have been against interstate sides. I have no idea how that stacks up against other clubs but I'd be surprised if many clubs had a worse set of home game crowds.

Edit: I missed the Carlton game. So it's a bit better - crowds at 6 home games, 7 if we get Adelaide.

And report tonight that the grand Final is unlikely to be played at the MCG.

There is no way they have made a decision on this

Unofficial last game of year potentially in my book, to decide end of year Minor Premiers......

Just in case.

Missed the sarcasm again?

[Rab D Nesbitt 7,322]

Media are cranking up their 'we can't be trusted' story again which might be a good thing for this game. We should probably translate it into latin and add it to our club logo.

That's hilarious. It sounds both roman and Australian. It would make for some great hashtag t-shirts and keep cups to accompany the positive lingers merch.

Lucky to see any more live games in Melbourne this year I reckon.

Going by VicGov’s track record it would be a fair bet that a lockdown could be announced on GF Eve.

Well give me a reason to doubt this thesis. 

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,505]

I generally only watch games we're in, so am not familiar with the players in most other teams (other than the fact that every second Bulldogs player is called 'Bailey'). Has Mitch Hannan been doing well with the Bullies?

Conjures a vision of Dame Edna dressed in a MFC guernsey.

Given the way we bounce back from bad games.....this is a good outcome for us.

Don't tell me, I'm still in two minds about the matter; tell him, that's if he can settle down and behave for a change - just like I told her to do.

Because they haven't finalised the details YET obviously.

 

Thought it was interesting in Bradshaw’s after match interview that he alluded to playing the Bulldogs next week.  Thought it was a slip of the tongue but maybe they had already been told it could be a possibility …if they were told before the game maybe that’s what they were thinking about ..
