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

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.

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

Just in case.

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.

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.

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 ..

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
