The Bermuda Triangle has become less of a mystery than our midfield - forward disconnect.

Right then people. Let's all get self isolating like there's no tomorrow. The sooner we get this thing licked the sooner we get our Dees back. I was going to say let's mobilise but you know what I mean.

Does this mean the Grand Final Eve public holiday will be cancelled ?

So some hermetically sealed footballers will be fine? I like it. As long as they're not carrying any fruit.

I wonder if there might still be time to rush through the initial four rounds before these potential new measures kick in? That would give us the foundations of a season at least so that we can shut up shop for four to eight weeks to see how things play out before picking things up again. I know we all have varying opinions on the subject but personally I'd like to be in a place where there's at least an opportunity for the season to continue later in an environment more recognisable to us all. Unlike some other codes, Australian Rules football is played for just six months of the calendar year with anticipation filling the long vacuum in between each season. I'm happy to have a little fix now (fingers crossed) to be followed by another mini build up prior to ramping things up again in earnest again later. As I've said it's just an opinion so don't shoot me down.

With this indoor distancing law shutting down all the pubs maybe we'll get some real speakeasies sprouting up now.

Doubt it. The Rose in Fitzroy just called me to say they're closing indefinitely until sanity returns so I'll be watching the game at a mate's place.

King Creosote.

Jesus. Thanks Sue. Even I'm starting to slip up now. Schoolboy error!

He's right. It's like being told that it's ok to have morning sex but not kiss the other person goodbye before you head off to work.

I think we all need to be a little mindful of how we reply to other peoples opinions. For those that are cooped up indoors online chat might be the closest thing to an interaction they're going to have in the short term so slapping them down, even if what they say is a bit kooky, may not be the best way to respond. Just make sure you spell everything properly or I really will start to lose my sh@t!

You're right. I'm overthinking it.

Certainly one of the all time grates.

Now that Collingwood have been reduced to their constituent parts so to speak I realise that it's their fan base and Eddie that makes me loath them, not so much the guys running around in black & white stripes.

Yeah, he's a life member of the club. He was also a timekeeper at the G I think and responsible for the siren. Really nice guy with some great stories to tell.

I went there for the first time last year for the Adelaide game. Arrived 1am Saturday and left again 1am Sunday. Don’t know what you’ve done wrong to have Gold Coast inflicted on you for the foreseeable future.

He claims to only count 'official' games Hardtack. Was that game for premiership points?

Tarax Club appears to be based in Darwin by the looks of it so that would be a no.

This isn't quite true as 'Tarax' did actually miss our two Fosters World Championship games in Vancouver back in 1987 which I like to remind him of. He does at least have the footy record I picked up there.

The game I'm watching should be sponsored by Who Gives A Crap. Great publicity in the current circumstances.

This season could be open to a tanking affair of a completely different kind. What chance a team performing really poorly and sitting on the bottom of the ladder gets a player infected to end the season and pick up a No 1 draft pick in the process. Just a thought.

I wouldn't be upset if Carlton get humped tonight. I don't think their fan base have been completely broken yet.

If there’s a premiership there to win at the end of all this then I’d like us to win it.

Someone has to support our finest hostelries in their hour of need DS. I might also grab a good book at Happy Valley on Smith St on the way there before they have to close their doors indefinitely at 5pm.
