COVID & AFL 2021
I had zero side effects from second shot of AZ. Wife's second Pfizer a different story - nearly put in hospital, me a week off work to care for her.

COVID & AFL 2021
Sure. They're going to want to maximise attendance? Or does MCG with low crowds the primary objective. Assuming a snap lockdown for a week, with staged reopenings, it's starting to get awfully close to GF day.

COVID & AFL 2021
You'd have to think there's little chance of an MCG GF, or else, with a really low crowd. Does anyone really want a GF at the G with 20k? Or would it be better to have at Optus with 60k and G/AO with similar... Tend to think it'd be better to have at the Gabba or AO. Although I've never been to WA and have some QFF points to burn, so.....

Jack Viney Suspended for 2 Weeks
Observations. Media storm, tail wagging dog as others have said Comparatively this appears unfair compared to what league darlings get (citations in previous posts) 2 weeks seems fair Bottom line: Viney should never have put himself and his club in the position where we're all discussing this. A good lesson. Was it just me, or did Jack look a bit angry/sour during the game... I admit I wasn't paying full attention as my son and I were playing Lego as we both routinely looked up, looked at each other and said "another goal" (which it must be said is an underappreciated delight as a long-suffering fan)

What they're saying in their Polo Shirts at 42 Bishopsgate Street.
It’s a zeitgeisty comment from some previous pre game threads

Ultimate Danger Game!

You're thinking of the chulls, broo.

COVID & AFL 2021
They're due to play the Dockers @ Optus next Sunday, hope they're there already...did they fly straight there? Lockdown in QLD mooted to end that Sunday. Week after that, v Pies @ Gabba, they might allow that, then Weagles at Gabba..

POSTGAME: Rd 20 vs Gold Coast
He looks so composed. Love his game. Bowey's smart handball, bouncing it below some other players and straight into the recipient's arms was beautiful. Can't remember to whom and when sorry. Love Harmes, but boy, gee, wow, selfish.

GAMEDAY: Rd 20 v Gold Coast Part 2
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 ????

Round 20 game at Metricon
Not locked down and 1 hr from Metricon in NNSW but can't cross border for professional sporting match attendance... sad times

COVID & AFL 2021
Data is still shifting on viral loads in vaccinated v unvaccinated, as is risk. It is undeniable there is breakthrough in the vaccinated, so the question then is: why have a no jab no play policy at all? (Open question). AZ is available right now to anyone over the age of 18. Discl: I am vaccinated with AZ and am under 50. God, being unable to say under 40 anymore hurts, badly. :sobs:

TEAMS: Rd 20 vs Gold Coast
After cleaning up on the Dogs last week, hard not to go past the Suns. For Bradbury fans, and for your back pocket, you'd be wanting the Bombers to beat the Swans too, paying, I think, a fairly generous 3.15 at present.

Sam Weideman re-signs until 2023
Just ideas, he may like none. I won't die on the hill for them so feel free to swap in burrito eating endless gym and reading Hemingway by a river. :shrugs: I went fine packing up my life and loved ones moving 1800km north from Melbourne, but to a new job I liked. Which didn't pay upward of say 300k a year.

Rd 22 vs Adelaide in Melbourne
Let's not get too excited, we could still lose to Adelaide at the G #amirite? insert sky falling emoji

Rd 22 vs Adelaide in Melbourne
I wonder if Pert is raising it. Geelong's armchair ride stinks.
-
Sam Weideman re-signs until 2023
This is good for Weid. I kind of think the Suns would be good. Get to the warmth of the GC, beaches, hinterland, golf, surf etc. Out of the footy bubble of Mel. Less pressure (maybe). They'll want some side dishes to go for pick 3. What can North offer?

FIXTURE: Rd 20 2021
This. it also saves an extra flight Mel-Darwin-Darwin. Do Perth-Darwin-Mel instead.
-
Rd 22 vs Adelaide in Melbourne
Soooo.... GC Perth is 5hrs Perth Darwin flight time is 3h47min. Darwin Mel is 4.5hrs Total flying time is 13hrs15min or so, not including prevailing headwinds or tailwinds. The GC-Perth-Mel time would have been 9,5hrs so an extra 3h47min. Plus downside of hubs, plus upside of hubs, warmer weather, psychological +/- being with each other... Might just be me but I see a 3h47min extra flying as not a huge imposition...the hub might be a different story. That's away for 3 weeks? Might be hard to Tmac/Lever etc, but in the grand scheme of things it ought not be a major drama.

CHANGES: Rd 20 vs Gold Coast
Tee hee. No cases here in months and months. Hopefully Sydneysiders will stay away! That's what's closed the borders. Golf/surf should be delightful on the weekend. Much excitement for Bowey.
