Yep, it's a season like no other and will not surprise me if it happens such is the severity of Victoria's infection spike. Gives us another opportunity to blame the footy gods when we play Richmond back into form lol.

Among all the pessimism (rightly so) I just wanted to acknowledge Hibberd's attack on the footy to start the 4th qtr that took Dangerfield out. Highlight of the match for me.

We are averaging just under 50 points per game. Each game in perfect conditions. It's going to be a long shortened season!

Waited 2 weeks for that FFS. What a horrible spectacle. Should've won in the end though, just not good enough.

Clarry

I think had we not played the intra club game then absolutely it would have been, but we played that game after being told there would be no midweek game according to a report I just read. Gerard Whateley is dumbfounded that it won't happen.

Sam Edmund reporting our match will not happen tomorrow night, will be later in the year

I agree, but seeing we played a full intra club game 2 days ago, will we be reluctant to play?

Confirmed James Stewart will be quarantined

Gerard Whateley just revealed on SEN only 1 player will be quarantined. Unsure if that is additional to Mckenna or not. Let us play them tomorrow night !

Both matches are at Metricon . They need to give all facilities a thorough clean before the next 2 teams enter the ground.

Red, I can honestly only think of 1 instance in Goodwin's tenure where he made an effective change when a team had a run on, and that was Omac off/ Frost on to Hawkins at 3/4 time at the cattery , 2 years ago from memory. Problem was it was too late and we still lost the game. I'd be interested to know if anyone can recollect any other change mid match that had an impact! The lack of mid match positional changes has cost us many games.

I'd be swapping Jetta and Harmes roles. Ideally though Salem takes Harmes gig, who goes to midfield where he belongs .

I wouldn't be surprised to see Lockhart promoted next week. Thought he was stiff to miss out but it was probably only fitness concerns due to limited training.

Post of the year for mine Biff!

Lol! Off to a good start Tommy.

I doubt it will ever be the same unless some wealthy white knight club people prop the poorer clubs up. The 2 expansion teams could be in strife, Brisbane was already on life support. I'm not sure of Sydney's situation but I'm tipping they will struggle ( as will most. ) I wonder if going back to the roots of the original VFL will be considered? I for one would not mind at all. Whatever happens, it will vastly different to what we've become accustomed to.

I thought Groundhog Day was a comedy. Turns out it's true and it's a horror story.

How did you do that FD?

Are we sure? Wasn't it top 2 of each conference last year?

You'd have to think Super Rugby and NRL seasons are cooked with NZ border controls now

Langdon perhaps?

Biggest positives for me are our fitness ( best I can remember in decades) and our ability to switch play ( something we have rarely done well probably due to our lack of fitness. ) Both go hand in hand and will win us games of footy this year. We could be last quarter specialists this year which will be a joy to witness.

He was hobbling with ice immediately after the game on the ground shaking hands.i didn't see later on in the rooms but good news if it wasn't on.

He was hobbling with ice on his ankle post game
