GAMEDAY: Rd 20 v Gold Coast Part 1

[Bates Mate 3,823]

Reports are there will be a double header at Marvel with one have starting at 1pm the other in the evening. Surely with our day out on a plane and such on the tarmac we should get the late game

Passengers on board during refuelling CAO 20.9 (4.2)

The aircraft operator must ensure that AVGAS is not loaded onto an aircraft while passengers are on board, or entering or leaving, the aircraft.

Passenger aircraft can be refuelled(not AVGAS) whilst boarding or with passengers on board as long as the No Smoking sign is illuminated(always on) and the Seat belt sign is switched off. Crew cannot venture more than 4 seat rows from Emergency exit doors.

Oskar Baker is horrifically bad by foot

Last year the essendon game led to us playing 2 games in cairns under a week in monsoon . This game  who knows  when we play and the implications

[DeeZee 6,733]

I think WA will shoot themselves for n the foot with compulsory quarantine making too hard for AFL games to be played there in the remaining rounds, considering what’s just happened today.

So a Melbourne / Adelaide hub seems like the best option .

You would think so. But it’s the AFL so anything can happen. 
The MCG is also available tomorrow. Could have two late starts to accommodate everyone who had to spend the day flying

Been watching him today and previously. Will be gone at season end.

I believe this is a blessing in disguise. Flying to GC and playing them at their home ground on the same day is the worst possible preparation for a game. They are in good form and no doubt would have exploited this. Looking forward to play them over here tomorrow or later on.

A bit disappointed with Ticketek today.

Tickets were delivered by sms, surely they could have sent out another sms to let people know the game wasn't going ahead, but nothing.

Must say though that Ticketek's online ticketing user interface is tones better than Ticket Master - they are the worst.

I would hardly call wasting nearly a whole day travelling good preparation

The AFL should bring all clubs to Victoria and set up hubs like Qld last year. How can they possibly risk another occurrence of what happened today? We know the WA government can shut things down at the drop of a hat, and now Queensland too. Play the rest of the games and all finals in Victoria. We have the grounds, MCG, Marvel, GMHBA, even Ballarat. We have our COVID situation seemingly under control. Make it easy for yourselves AFL, and stop trying to appease vested interests. The game today should have been at Marvel all along, it was a no brainer.

They are shockers.

This is why WA doesn’t deserve a grand final.

They’ve made it so hard on the AFL and it’s clubs during this pandemic .

Your dumbest post ever.

They now can get a good nights sleep and a leg stretch and play them at a happy hunting ground for us. 

[Crompton's the man 635]

Queensland Chief Health Officer has just announced that the game will be stopped at 4.00 pm and whoever is in front at that time will be awarded the points

Took me 12 months to get last years Queens Birthday game refunded Deev.

Ok plans changed so I can still watch the game. 
If they change it again I give up. 
Marvel. Closed roof I assume. Let’s go Ben for 10 straight!

[Pates 9,537]

Is this a good preparation? Absolutely not. But is it better that the boys will have a good nights sleep and be able to play on a track they know a little more than GC? Absolutely. 

More proof that we need to adapt to the changing situations at every turn.

Can’t believe we went up to GC and back without the 4 points. 
 

 

Pretty happy we got out of QLD with no injuries though before finals.
