COVID & AFL 2021
I hope you are wrong too but basic Maths and history shows that HQ will have another leak . Just a matter of how much is spread in the community before detection. Another lockdown of some form is inevitable

POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Same no excuse as we didn't bring it but the shorter ground threw our spacing out

TEAMS: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Can't drop sparrow after 19 disp and a goal and his ability to get straight into the contest and pace of afl everytime he is called upon. Melksham has to make way. So Langdon for Melksham easy . Selection had been spot on this year unlike the last two and goody had already dropped his mate melky before so I'm sure common sense will prevail

Brayden Maynard
I really like him as a player been watching him ever since he went head to head with Jesse Hogan in 2018 I think it was , didn't take a backward step that day despite the size difference

Rating 2021 team Against 1998, 2000 & 2018
You're right I did get the opponent confused. we got screwed in 98 in that we beat the lower ranked Adelaide in the first final then had to go through higher ranked opponents than Adelaide in the prelim despite fishing higher than then in the ladder and beating them in the first final. They changed the system the following year

CHANGES: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

Rating 2021 team Against 1998, 2000 & 2018
OP is right the 98 finals system screwed is bigtime. We destroyed the crows in the first final then for made to travel to the west. Farmer was at the peak of his powers and McLeod was sent to him in a surprise move at the time and he torched him. Having said that this is most balanced and consistent team I've seen in my 42 years.

COVID & AFL 2021
Collingwood allowed into Adelaide, just when you think common sense has prevailed the SA CHO comes out with this pearler for those who will attend the match “If the ball comes towards you, my advice is to duck and do not touch that ball,"

COVID & AFL 2021
100% agree. Adelaide oval is a great idea. SA government are being rediculous. These afl teams and staff have been under lockdown conditions longer than the general public, get tested regularly and if God forbid a player or staff member was found to be positive it would be an easy contact tracing exercise , exposure sites would be counted on one hand and close contacts all known immediately
