I wish someone gifted in the area unlike myself could do a QR code for the 3rd Quarter blitz.

Sorry bud, world wide chip shortage, no flux capacitors on hand.

Thankfully I was at home watching on TV for 186. For 148 I was there until the bitter end.

Same same, I’d gone to 148 with some hope (who knows why) and brought along some Kiwi mates hoping to get them on the Dees wagon… needless to say they were not interested in supporting the Dees. Funny thing though they did end up becoming Dees fans and loved the Premiership.

NHL has/is going through these scenario's. Last season they had "tax squads" that were outside of the salary cap but allowed players to travel with the team and be called upon when needed. Outside the salary cap.

This year they didn't bring it back until half way through the current season as Omicron tore through the entire league. They are also postponing games left right and centre. I think it is close to 100 games postpones at this point and almost at the point of no return re the number of games they can reschedule and still finish the season on time before having to potentially extend the post season which they are loath to do.

102 games postponed and counting, around 30 of those in Canada as the Canadians have dropped attendance from full capacity (~15k) down to 1,000. The NHL/owners/players don’t want to lose the revenue from those games.

110 games is the magic number that they can make up in the 2 weeks they we’re supposed to go to the Olympics, otherwise it’s extend season/post season.

I personally loved how my friends were giving it to me for going to one cup holding event and the main one on Dec 5, this was apparently over doing it.

Love how easy it was to forget we were in lock down around GF as well.

Had a little break down Apollo Bay over xmas/New years, the old ducks in the front were giving it to me, I remembered they were Cats nuffies... Geeez I had a fun 20 mins before they "had to go.."

In terms of fairness, adding 6-10 supplementary players is no biggie anyway.  It's not like clubs would be topping up with superstar players

Put the supplementary players  on a 1 year permit where they are not forever tied to the clubs

With the current outbreak of the omicron variant and the protocols that are in place, it's a moral that at least 1 or 2 clubs are going to be caught out (especially when considering that injury lists can be 10 or more at any given time as well)

So as you indicated DJ, most of the clubs have a reserves team (or suchlike) where as a number of the teams outside of Victoria can call upon players from their local leagues

Again, I don't see the big deal and the reality is that the show must go on

The bigger nightmare is rescheduling games ... so much is made of 5 or 6 days breaks so apart from the bye rounds, how do they fit postponed games in?

If the Cats won that Rnd 23 match they would have finished top right?! They were up by 44 points at 3 qrt time and totally chit the bed to miss top spot… then we’re smashed them to pieces in the Prelim. What a horror show to finish the season let alone against the lowly Dees. 😂🤣😂🤣🥳🤣🥰

And no, no it’s not, ending this old codgers brigade chances in the next few season and belting them for the next 10 years whilst having our players being bored doing so might lay it to rest. 

Poor kid, rest in peace now young man.

Gees I love talking footy at the moment... I wear Dees hats most days or Dees socks and they generate fellow Dees fan interactions or other footy fans "You still talking footy after the Grand Final... time to move on?"... Uhm no, why no it is not time to move and and who do you support so I can talk chit about your club..

If we could kick straight, we’d be dangerous.. how good has been the W footy become?! I hope we can push into finals and beyond this year.

Knees. Don't like to see that in any team...

Devastating to see that one, what is it with the W and knees. 
 

We need to get another goal here to capitalise with the wind.

Am i the only one who thinks the girls skills have improved out of sight since the first year of the comp?

Maybe im just blinded by all those lovely Red and Blue goals...

Out of sight, it’s amazing to see!! Skills, endurance and talking. 

Wow we look really good into the breeze.

Interesting they’ve pulled the boundary in so far at the northern end of the WO.

Hanks what a pick up, how well does she move.

Watching North v Geelong and wondering what did they put up in the place of the gasometer?

Enjoying the actually game them…

I’d love to hear from nurses and doctors who have to deal with this on a day to day basis to understand how’s it’s affecting them or people who can’t get access to medical procedures because the system can’t handle them.

Dunstall is fine, he actually has a clue and isn't too bad about Melbourne. It's Dermie that's the moron and doesn't have a nice thing to say about us

Dunstall is widely credited as being the guy behind the scenes who set up the Hawks most recent dynasty, he knows his footy dislike him or not.

To be fair he runs rings around Vanders.

I’ll call it now quite confidently, by the end of 2022 season JVR will be ahead of Weid in the selection pecking order. 

@Demonlandcan we pin this one?

Hmm. While figures are lower than the worst periods from last year, with these massive case numbers there are starting to be a LOT of people in hospital and, worryingly, intensive care.

e.g. in France, nearly 70% of the total number of intensive care beds are taken up by Covid patients, increasing by over 400 per day. And only going to get worse. 

Indeed..
