Is it too early to start a changes for next week thread all the luck going their way

Tagging job I think?

8 goal loss if this continues Pressure lacking kicking to packs they're marking everything panick is Goodwin the right guy (j/k)

We do you get info on the pools great précis!

Jeez that's a bit down in the mouth. The Grand Final will be!

Wondering how often we see Charleston Spargod floating back intercepts and 1:1s like last week (how was the one v Bont)....all hands on deck tonight, no passengers "paging all passengers, paging all passengers, you are required on flight deck for imminent collision"

Vic has just announced they have the Indian (Delta) variant and don't know where it came from....

Out of work (sorry to hear that) but with Balvenie on hand - now that is handling business the right way.

I don't like handshake details. This should be contracted in whatever manner is needed. And taking into account sovereign risk, so if a team loses it one year, they get it the next (or until crowds allowed at some pre determined capacity ie 85%). This could bite the other team on the bum also.

Pointsbet Dees 1-100 win and Trac + goals paying 3-1. Interesting to see what the bookmakers are marking some of the disposal and goal odds at. Oliver 1+ goal at 2.45 interesting.

Eh, that is some serious firepower. What has been the differential, ie how many have they let through. All well and good to kick 102 but if you let 98 in... Edit: from The Roar Agree on last point. Reckon the back 6 are going to be hellbent on that. Lever took it as a personal affront that Adelaide scored so highly. Love it.

This is it - keep winning and the business takes care of itself. Sponsors, gate, memberships, TV blockbusters. There's still a chance to get a game to the NT. GWS home game maybe? Adelaide home game? Have to weigh up the 700k (whatever it is) against Fortress MCG - number 1 priority should be wins, not revenue - wins take care of that. We need a top 2. Insurance against losing first week and having to go interstate.

Many sweaty men - a new meme sensation Wasn’t aware sweat was a vector! cannot give Adelaide QBW now - Sydney or Gabba unless MCG can be 50% or similar (I’m betting that could happen)

I always find these pejorative soy posts puzzling

Are clubs able to ask the umpires to watch Max for example based on the Lions’ previously indecorous behaviour ? We could always do the same

There’s probably 30000 Port fans who want to see us k1ck the pants off them /hubrismode

That’s a fabulous result - let’s hope they can concoct something for the QBW game perhaps at the Gabba

QBW game now at risk

6 days to get tested.

Contingent on throwing open walk in Pfizer for 18-<50. I should have caveated that. I get the sense we are at the stage we can open it up, such is the hesitancy amongst the eligible, and given the available supply. This is particularly the case in Vic. The hesitancy in health workers is worrying.

This is where the idea of vaccine passports have merit. You vaccinated? You can attend with mask and relevant capacity limits and spacing (none of this closed upper deck nonsense).

Play this in Sydney/Giants, get up there ASAP and acclimate. That's nearly 2 weeks for NT quarantine. With nearly 2 weeks quarantine out of the way, and daily testing, we should be able to take the Pies QBW to Alice, get the 700k (TBC $), hopefully the 4 points and head into the bye. Tell them we split the 700k with them if they split the gate next year, and if they won't go, insist to the AFL we get QBW@home next year. If things go t*ts up in Vic in that time - head to the sunny coast (or NNSW!) - no restrictions on Vic entries and then we have the Bombers after the bye, can take that to the yoGabbaGabba, Sydney, or take it to Alice if the Pies don't want to. Then we have the Giants loction TBC and Suns @ Metricon. Month on the road. 3 MCG games moved, maybe. Probably want to try and get the Bombers at the G with some crowds but they have the gate so happy to shift that to Alice! Anyway, we're not paid to solve the AFL's problems, give us a call to arrange Dill!

I made a mistake about the gate - move on - thanks though for highlighting the AFL is able to compensate lost marquee game gates by adjusting next year. We can have next year's instead. People here are making themselves look silly on Covid. Equating a simple scheduling error from 2020 with some of the comments on Covid is inapt. Cool cool cool is a quote from Brooklyn 99. I feel very sad that you have not availed yourself of this comic masterpiece and all the cultural memes it has birthed - nodoubtnodoubtnodoubt.

Cool cool cool - whichever way around it was. The fixture shows it as our home game this year, implying them next year = our lost gate this year and they get it next year. I think there is space to negotiate with the Pies on getting to Alice and splitting it. The Age Real Footy Podcast made a good point - firstly they thought it was 400k, not 700k and Caroline Wilson made the good point that the MFC ought not worry about this - keep the premiership in mind (this means getting a top 2 IMV) and then letting everything that flows from that benefit the bottom line next year. Big games with big gates, blockbuster TV slots, memberships.
