Looks like all roads lead to Brisbane for a preliminary final whatever the outcome of the game tomorrow, unless the Brisbane area becomes a covid hotspot which could see it moved interstate, just like the other week.

The priority should be to stay in Melbourne throughout the finals if at all possible. Looking at the draw however it's hard to see us not have to go to Brisbane for a preliminary final.

Just caught the end of the game tonight on tv. The AFL seem to have a unique obsession with 'two bob' cups and trophies being handed out at the end of a game. Didn't Footscray and Richmond play off for a Bloody Idi@t Cup a number of years ago because they were both sponsored by a drink - driving campaign ?

Gee they're a rough & tough side Freo, I hope we don't get them in a prelim over there. I wonder if we can steal a double chance, if there is such a thing in this 'make it up as you go along' season.

Whatever the reason for the low attendance it wasn’t a great look. That aside, I sat in an area of level 2 of the Northern Stand where lots of us were packed in together making a bit of a mockery of the social distancing set up supposedly in place.

27k at the G on Saturday ? After a year and a half without live football it looks like our supporter base can hardly contain their apathy.

Knowing what was coming I turned off the sound and listened to a jazz radio station over in New Jersey. CH7 should sell their commentary feed to Guantanamo Bay.

Don't they need the mirrors to take a long hard look at themselves ? ??‍♂️

Yup, the really old days JD.

Surely this is the year we get the W in Hobart. It could be like the good old days with the Hawks and Roos propping up the ladder.

Those three fellas are paid to speculate and offer their opinions which is what they have done by the sounds of it so no need for concern.

For what it's worth OD when not furloughed I work in Armadale. Every second car in the back streets has the little Melbourne sticker we get in our membership pack. I walked into my go to cafe there one morning and the two baristas were talking to three other punters about the Dees prospects that week. I think we've certainly got our share of conservative leaning supporters but I'm less certain about that hampering our prospects of funding from Dan.

He's looking more like Sir Les Patterson by the day.

No. Just lots of old on the new home base.

?

I've already lost the will to live.

My first impression was that he's been dragged through a hedge backwards.

Phenomenal. No pressure Dan.

Did GB just handball the responsibility of a home base over to the state government ?

Glenn Bartlett looks like he's had a rough day.

I think the Vic has been able to keep things ticking over because the council has let them have quite a few outdoor tables along the two streets it fronts. It's not an 'old man's / spit & sawdust' type of place but it straddles the hipster and traditional markets really well.

LOL. I'm not from the era of prohibition Old Dee. They're actually one of those throwbacks that have come back into vogue recently.

I think it also helps that Man City aren't restricted with a salary cap in the same way that AFL clubs are so can purchase quality all over the park. The principle still applies though. Rangers have done the same this season. Having relied on Alfredo Morelos for our goals in recent years we've seen a lot more coming from our midfield and even our right back James Tavernier has scored 17 goals. We also defend as a team having leaked just 8 goals in 29 league games to date.

Time will tell whether this is a sliding Daw moment.

Still a good pub, holding it's own in an area filled with micro breweries and speakeasies. I was there a few weeks ago.
