Late yesterday morning, the boys landed in Brisbane and by early afternoon, they were homeward bound. I think we’d like to take the game to Marvel where we play well …

July 31, 20214 yr

any changes to the team from yesterday?

July 31, 20214 yr

Has the same build up as the grand final replay

July 31, 20214 yr

The importance of this game is immense

July 31, 20214 yr

Cudos to the afl and sorting out the three affected games and finding new venues and time slots in such a small window.

Now let's [censored] the suns!!!

July 31, 20214 yr

How’s this for double standards???

I just read this on the ABC News website…..

ABC News: Despite 11 Queensland LGAs being plunged into lockdown, the NRL will finish round 20 of the competition in Brisbane today and tomorrow.

The schedule change came just hours after Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said no professional or community sport would be played during lockdown.

"There will be no football matches," she said at Saturday's media conference announcing the three-day lockdown.

"No community sport, no professional sport for the next three days."

Quick question - why was the flight into Brisbane Airport and not Coolangatta? Plenty of VA metal flying into OOL still?

A delightful 100k ride in a balmy 28deg Northern Rivers down to Evans Head preceding a Peroni and the game.

Hope everyone is similarly situated ????

Even kids netball and local Winter comp cricket matches were cancelled. I’m so angry I want to break something!

Then again, I guess NRL players are known for their intelligence and sense of responsibility……….

VA metal flying into OOL. That's travel industry parlance if ever I heard it. Where in the business do / did you work Superunknown?

I think the original plan was to refuel, take meals onboard and change the flight crew for a flight to Perth and logistically this was easier to do in BNE.

July 31, 20214 yr

I assume Gold Coast are favourites given our form and history against bottom teams?

It was originally going to Coolangatta but re-directed when information regarding the lockdown was received.

GC odds have lengthened.

I guess because the match is being played in Melbourne.

July 31, 20214 yr

GC are 15th for Gods sake

Shouldnt be a worry for us

Sit back relax and watch the wonderfull Dees and celebrate hard

Enjoy mate. We're off to the beach and will watch the game on delay. Spring is here and the Northern Rivers is glittering. Might try and catch some whiting in the surf for dinner.

Go Dees

I did read that and thought WTF.

Equally though, I think the MFC, the Suns and the AFL would be more than happy for our team's to get the [censored] out of Dodge.

My only question would be, did the AFL lobby them for this to occur also or were they happy to get the teams back in Victoria?

July 31, 20214 yr

Not sure what's better, a night in GC and play at Metricon day later than scheduled

Sit around in a plane for 8 hours flying north then south but getting to sleep in our own beds and play at Marvel a day later than scheduled

Hopefully this is step one of an AFL plan to hub all teams in Vic, and maybe Tas

REPORT: St. Kilda
REPORT: St. Kilda

One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
