sue 9,277 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 (edited) Saw a fleeting banner on ABC saying No professional sport. Can't confirm so far Update: from 4pm. "There will be no football matches. So, no community sport, no professional sport, nothing for the next three days. Starting as of 4:00pm today. But I would hope that anyone who's out there concludes whatever they're doing and goes home." Short game coming up... Edited July 31, 2021 by sue 1

Jaded No More 68,976 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Of course the season is derailed and this impacts us directly. Of course. Nothing more obvious. 1

Jaded No More 68,976 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Well season derailed again. Wonderful news. Who starts a lockdown at 4pm? 3
3Dee 1,153 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Well I guess this calls for a snap end to my Dry July. 2 7
Lord Nev 13,512 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Bit of a sketchy rumour the Suns are trying to get on a plane to Melbourne. Coincidentally, Marvel is free tomorrow... 1 4
Jaded No More 68,976 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Surely get GC on a plane now and we play them at Marvel tomorrow? 1 1

Was sitting here watching the presser and said exactly the same thing. Every lockdown we have had starts at 6pm. Cannot see the reasoning to start at 4.

This game should have been moved to Marvel for this afternoon during the week instead of Metricon. Gold Coast play Carlton next week in Melbourne so it made sense that GC stay in Melbourne for this week and play in Melbourne again Bunch of amateurs. Edited July 31, 2021 by dazzledavey36 10

I'm no great fan of the AFL but they've done a great job keeping the show on the road this season so far I generally agree, but I actually think the AFL should have bitten the bullet and hubbed all teams in Melbourne. Puss off this Perth Stadium grand final [censored] as well. 1
Garbo 1,567 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Any bet it gets moved to pre finals bye week now along with Essendon and swans 1
dazzledavey36 56,274 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Just now, BDA said: Did you know there was going to be a snap lockdown in South Queenland today? I'm no great fan of the AFL but they've done a great job keeping the show on the road this season so far Its not about the lockdown. I was just as frustrated at the scheduling. We fly to QLD on game day, play a full game of footy then jump on a plane again and fly 5 hours across the country? How is that deemed fair? Had we played in Melbourne, GC would have had to fly down, play footy and stay for another week. We also get to stay in town, play our game then jump on a plane to QLD. That's as reasonable and fair for both clubs. AFL run by a bunch of simpletons. 1 1 1
Rodney (Balls) Grinter 11,062 Posted July 31, 2021 Posted July 31, 2021 Living in South East Queensland, I was originally quite happy when our game Vs the Suns was switched last week, as I'd inadvertently double booked myself with a camping trip. Was stoked when I booked my tickets for today's game on Thursday night. Really flat about things being cancelled this morning. Guess I was really fated not to watch this game in person. 2
