		Sacred terminology
		
		Soccer still loves the 'pivot', single-pivot (one dm) or a double-pivot (two deep midfielders) etc. Guess the way AFL is now played may mean 'pivot' does not return to the commentator's Lexicon/Vocabulary

		Majak Daw off-the-ball incident
		
		The Article in the OP says the following; Throughout 2020 and 2021, games have been played in the right spirit, with players understanding the more casual nature of the contests compared to full-on VFL matches. There has also been considerably less video footage of games, increasing the responsibility on players to avoid committing reportable offences. The nature of this non-sanctioned match means all incidents fall outside Match Review Officer Michael Christian’s remit. Instead, stand-in footy operations manager Andrew Dillon and his team will deal with it. Daw was not immediately cited for his strike on Cox, though the AFL became aware of it on Tuesday. If the AFL uses the MRO’s grading system, the Demons rookie – who signed in March with the club – could cop a multi-week suspension.

		Who gets the $ from tickets sales of the finals? Imagine it's the AFL so no wonder they want crowds.

		Hypotheticals
		
		#2 for me depends on the loss itself, ie losing a Prelim by 1 point may be worse than losing a GF by 10+ goals. Leaves more of a "what if" feel to it

		COVID & AFL 2021
		
		Yeh suddenly a few hundred outlay could turn to few thousand. Not even sure I could get away due to work commitments either. either way go Dees

		Is having to quarantine for 1-2 weeks considered a restriction impeding my ability to attend a GF?

		There have been Pat Lipinski rumors posted here before. Think we should sign that Weideman bloke as well.

		What would you do for the club if we won the flag?
		
		Regardless of the result - probably cry

		Yep i'm in the 30-39 bracket, even if i went AZ today I wouldn't be fully vaccinated until after the GF. If they did implement a fully-vaccinated policy at least that would reward the older dees fans that have been through more hell than some younger generations aha.

		Back to watching games on Zoom with friends, what a shame. That being said, not sure how much fun i would be to be around if we do make the big dance.

		CHANGES: Rd 23 vs Geelong
		
		Was a strange game, some players did have quiet periods and Melk didn't light it up - no debates there. Just think it is worth giving him one last go but might depend on how Bulldogs/Port go, maybe a late change, the old Chris Scott treatment
 - 
	
		
		CHANGES: Rd 23 vs Geelong
		
		This is the part of the issue this week. I'd like to see Melky having another week but understand if he's not included. Tough week for the selectors.

		I meant I have the GF Guarantee, but if its in WA and we make it, highly doubt I'll be able to go for various reasons.

		Tasmanian AFL Team
		
		Surprised there is no Tasmanian team in the A-League, would have been a good move whilst the AFL dillydally. At least the people of Tasmania are getting an NBL team, despite it having a horrible name. "Gillon McLachlan: "The Suns are not moving from the Gold Coast, and that's definitive." So if we're sticking to 18 teams a relocation looks inevitable, at least we're performing at the right time. You'd assume that we would be safe with our history anyway but who knows. Imagine if they try merged us with St Kilda in the future, Saints on one shoulder, Demon on another aha.

		If Collingwood can claim a monopoly on Black and White stripes, we should rightfully be able to claim a monopoly on Satanic creatures.

		Will Nathan Jones get a farewell game?
		
		As stated by a few others think the Anzac Day eve was his send off. Unfortunately I don't think Jones will have his fairy tale ending this year. Slipping down the pecking order with youth banging on the door. But cross any bridge when we get to it, a difficult task for him though
