For years I have said the NRL decide the top 8 before the season and get the referees to make it happen. I think the AFL are in this territory now. I am pretty sure Brisbane, St Kilda, Essendon and Carlton will all make the 8 and a lot is due to umpiring. I think Kozzy was penalised as a result of some backlash at Shaun Burgoyne escaping punishment for a sling tackle the day before.

Clear mark. Cheats.

Maggots doing what Gil has told them.

So much media fapping about Injectendon. They are horrible.

Not raining at the NRL at Robina. Ground looks fantastic too.

Yep. I am hoping to go to Queensland sometime after the 14th as I have family there and would also like to go and see a game or two.

Border opening is 7 August for SA, WA and NT, but at least 14 August for anywhere else. As we are coming from Queensland, game will not be in Hobart. I was looking forward to going to the game.

Tasmanian border will not be open until at least 14 August.

Game in Hobart will not be happening. Will have to be somewhere else.

Port game is now at 7.50, not 8.10. Carlton/Hawthorn moved to Friday.

Given it looks like being an 18 round season, with 10 teams still to have a bye, it will be in the Round from 13 to 18 that has no byes. Would think Round 18 is most likely.

Port game is on 7, the others are on Fox.

I think staying in Adelaide until Saturday morning then having a session on Blundstone late Saturday would be best. It would not surprise if Gutwein says no, but the lure of that sweet AFL cash might be too much.

I reckon familiarity with Maroochydore would well outweigh any inconvenience of travelling further to games. Also guessing most players would have taken their own pillows with them. I find that is a massive help in being more comfortable in different surroundings. A good nights sleep is not that easy to get.

Kennett is the problem. No way would he accept a year or two at the bottom to climb again. You just can't keep pinching players from other clubs and expect it to work like magic.

It would also be I'd say with an eye on Brisbane this week. Harris Andrews needs to be isolated deep so he can't come over the top of every marking contest in the forward 50. He will kill it every time if our forwards are too close together.

Just the one change for mine. Jackson for TMac.

Make sure you call in @binman

Pretty sure we will be playing Adelaide in Alice Springs. No idea which round.

So our Sydney and GWS games will be played in Queensland then?

I would say it is GWS in Round 8 and Sydney in Round 9, going by this: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/cats-to-face-freo-on-monday-night-in-round-eight-pies-v-eagles-on-sunday-20200713-p55bl9.html

As rigged as it gets. Absolute joke.

Get [censored]. Flukes everywhere for these [censored]. Shut up Garry.

HTB lottery again.

Clear HTB not paid again.
