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.

Well that was a ride and a half. Table now booked at The Rose. Let's hope they have a nice autumnal red ale on tap.

Letting ‘optics’ decide whether the football season commences tomorrow is such a bad look.

Who would have thought that two guys and a dog would have made such a difference at Giants Stadium?

They seem to be using this whole scenario as a trojan horse to introduce all of the daft ideas they want to inflict on the game that would otherwise suffer fan backlash.

I can see the crows getting some traction in North Dakota on the back of this.

Hi. I should have clarified that I meant on the assumption that we’d have the crowds back by that time. A big assumption, I know.

Hi Pates. yeah, they are all fair points. This is where the people at headquarters will have to earn their soon to be reduced salaries. I don't envy them.

This should mean we avoid trips to both Fremantle and Adelaide right? Unless the AFL plan to bin our game in Alice ? From a financial aspect we would really need to keep Anzac Eve on that date ideally, Queen's Birthday and the game in Alice I think (which supposedly reaps us $500k).
