Why would this game be re-located from Hobart. It’s not as if the North boys mingled in the community I would’ve thought.

That hasn’t been confirmed yet. TAS government could still provide an exemption for North to come down to Tassie.

I’d have to agree.

I’m sure the phrase “April premiers” will be thrown around on Bigfooty tonight.

As David King keep mentioning this week we still haven’t beaten anyone of note.

Is it just me or is the crowd way unders at the moment?

What ever happens tonight, it’s now factually incorrect that we haven’t beaten anyone of note. Geelong are a reigning grand finalist who just beat a contender by 97 pts, and we kept them to 60pts at the G. It was a win full of merit. People should now be called out on this narrative if they continue to accuse us of it, if things go south tonight.

Yes. Bad things happen when we play North at Hobart.

We need to have a chat to Lachie Ash if he’s feeling a little home sick (assuming he’s from VIC)

This post probably won’t age well but I reckon the Dogs will win 20 games this year.

If VIC allows North back straight away you'd imagine our game next week will be transferred to Marvel Sunday 1:10pm, if Tasmania won't allow North in their state.

Whatever happens, I really hope we don't have to have our bye next week and then play North in the mid season bye. 16 weeks without a break would be a disaster.

Freo V North game will go ahead.

Very much off topic but North are in WA which may very well be in lockdown shortly. Guess who plays North next week?

The coaches think he is. He's polled 18 votes (same as Trac) which averages out to the third best player on ground in all the games we've played, according to the coaches.

Richmond's the last side you'd bring in undercooked players who missed 6-8 weeks of training in Feb/March. I'm in favour of no Weid and certainly no BBB this weekend. But one or both will need to be integrated into the side in the coming weeks.

Hopefully he's on minimum chips. Would be horrified if he's on 500-600 a year. We all liked Harmes in 2018 but he hasn't kicked on since then and I wouldn't even bring him back when he's over his injury. Sensational news about Salem.

Fair enough. Out of all our interstate trips this year, I'd have no hesitancy in waiting until the last minute to go to Metricon. They really struggle for a crowd up there.

I'm in the same boat as I'm looking to go over as well, but don't want to spend money on flights if no access to tickets. You may very well be ok, as capacity will be 100% by then. Maybe contact the club? FWIW, they were selling GA tickets to the Port V St Kilda game this Sunday.

The Suns on 24 or 25 July might be a good option. Half empty stadium and $65 one way flights.

Saints and North to kick off round 11 with a sympathy Friday night game. The Dogs to entertain us in the 4:40 Sunday slot. That's how the AFL rolls.

I asked the question on Adelaide's Bigfooty board and they advised that there is slim to no GA tickets available for Adelaide home games. Not sure if they were being serious or they didn't want any feral VICS to attend. The capacity will be 100% by the time we play them which may help.

The good news it it will be 100% capacity for Adelaide V Melbourne on 22 May. The bad news is you can't even get a General Admission ticket for a lowly Adelaide V GWS game next weekend. I think it's a very risky proposition to fly over to Adelaide (I'm contemplating it) with a genuine chance of not being able to get a ticket to the game. Maybe the club may assist?

Good to see we’re still the kings of Sunday footy despite being half good at the moment.

Correct. That Bartlett blast was a thing of beauty IMO.
