Surprised that they're drip feeding details of the next batch of games to be played before we've even started this batch. Should be nice and cool in the red centre at that time of year, particularly at night.

Meh.

I haven't heard of the guy but I'll check out some of his articles. In the order of importance shareholders come first, second and third with Qantas. It wasn't so long ago they tried to change Qantas operated international routes in Asia over to Jetstar and base them offshore for tax purposes. The idea was then to employ Asian staff on much lower contracts and have those flights make a domestic stop en-route to their Australian destination (ie from Bangkok to Adelaide via Darwin as an example), effectively allowing low paid foreign staff to work domestic routes within Australia (Darwin to Adelaide). Not sure what became of it all as I work in a different part of the industry these days.

Hi AF. With the exception of Qantas whose employees are currently being paid $500 a week on what has been named Qantaskeeper by the federal government the rest of the travel industry has been left to die on the vine. Nobody makes any money selling domestic travel, despite what god might have told our PM.

Sweet! That should be a cracker of a game against Brisbane.

The uncertainty of the fixture will also mean less fans travel from Victoria to watch the game and book accommodation. I've already cancelled my flights for that reason and will put the credit towards another interstate game later in the year.

If I were the Tasmanian government I would post their four game contract with North up on Gumtree. If they use their Top Ad feature there's a chance they could still offload it before the weekend.

It's about as funny as when I tore a right lateral knee ligament on my fourth day on the slopes at La Plagne one year.

I have an ad for ski insurance showing just underneath that first post. No kidding.

I wonder how long it will be before the title of this thread is changed to just Relocation of North Melbourne.

Recent equality laws introduced now mean that they can both self identify as quality teams and your words considered to be hate speech.

Collingwood's jumper possibly the worst since every single one Hawthorn have ever worn.

I'm feeling your pain Cards. I spent most of the afternoon in a sake bar in Fitzroy followed by a couple of cheeky cocktails on the way to the ground. After the game it was back to The Tippler on Wellington Parade until they shut up shop at 1am. Messy. As for those Richmond supporters you mention, as far as stereotypical fan profiling goes I'd sooner be known for the trappings of first world excess than their reduced cognitive ability.

That was an entertaining game in Launceston played by two pretty awful teams. How nice it is to be able to say that.

If the game ends up at Marvel I wonder if they will still allow crowds as North will effectively be midway through a 2 week quarantine process, won't they ?

Reading the whole post match thread with a coffee after a very big day and night. Great to see so many happy Demonlanders. Enjoy your Sunday, people!

If we can play with the same pressure we brought against Geelong with a bit more accuracy in front of goal we'll go a long way towards winning this one. It should be a cracker tonight. Filled with genuine confidence.

BT carrying on like it's the frozen tundra of Green Bay.

Moves are afoot to rename them the GWSACT Giants. And the LGBTQIA+ Giants during pride week.

We're effectively saying we can beat the reigning premiers without Weids and Ben Brown. I like it.

We should have the Saturday time slot that the Hawthorn v North game has in Tassie on round 9.

All teams are equal but some are more equal than others.

Bombers v Roos at 4.40pm on a Sunday evening is probably the definition of trash time tv. Shows how far both theirs stocks have fallen.

Geez. That was a breath of fresh air compared to the cliche ridden crap we have to endure on CH9 & CH7. He went for a whole 1 minute 40 seconds without calling anyone or everyone a champion, legend or star. Wowee!

I sincerely hope it is Pates but if he is promoted to the senior side this week it's just as likely he'll be dropped back to the magoos within a month to find some form.
