I can't imagine the game going ahead in the NT at this rate, question is whether it will even be allowed to proceed in Queensland

Geelong footy players are apparently greeted at Perth airport and told to isolate and get tested (as per this thread). Victoria allows removalists from NSW to roam around at their leisure. Why were they even let into the state to begin with? Lockdown the border with NSW so no-one can get in regardless of their occupation. The Vic government already dithered recently leading to our last lockdown, now they'll do it again as the cases rise over the next few days. I am ropeable about it.

I love it that I have no idea who that is

He throws his head back though, that's the problem.

The ducking is now a big problem because the AFL didn't have the balls to stamp it out when Selwood started it years ago. Because he got away with it others have now started doing it as a tactic eg Hubter, McLean, Mathieson, Grimes, Spargo. It's not a good look and it's completely the AFL's fault for refusing to knock it on the head in the first place.

This is a prototype of one from 98 when we made a prelim

They could have switched the Dogs to Saturday and Syd/Freo to Sunday

Carlton also 3-peated in 1906-08

They just want shorter games because they spend so much time watching footy most of them probably hate it half the time. Networks would also like shorter games to fit in to 2hr broadcast slots and they could then have back to back games with no overlap.

AFL members got an email yesterday or day before as well, tickets on sale for AFL members 10am tmr same as other weeks so I assume same for all other member categories

And then people are incredulous when the players take a knee before the game

You may be surprised od - my cousin and uncle are Richmond members without GF guarantee and they went to both the 2017 and 2019 GF's through the ballot. I think Richmond did preference people who had been members longer so people longer than 10 years got a higher preference. MFC have 50k members but how many are MCC/AFL members who can get a ticket through other means? It's not a guarantee obviously but it doesn't mean there is no chance.

I disagree completely. 16 a side should have happened 10 years ago.

The AFL would delay the GF by a month before playing in front of anything less than 80k

I agree however we've had an OK run this year I reckon - other teams will point to Spargo (ducking) Oliver (throwing) etc Dogs can do what they want but they can't handle pressure when teams like us bring it, they fall to pieces

First season was 2014? Played against the Hawks in the GF and got smashed. So this is his 8th season.

Doggies don't like teams that bring pressure. Tigers, us and now Swans have found them wanting. They look good racking up 100 point wins against bottom feeders but not sure they'll get the ultimate success unless they find a harder edge.

And they throw and flop with the best of them

Two things - Carna Swans and how did we lose to the Giants?

They've played 1 finals game there against Freo in 2016? because there were 4 games inelbiurbe that weekend. They will never have a final against another Vic team down there and even against interstate teams it's questionable.

Oh [censored] off Scott, geelong games feel too long because your team is boring to watch. I don't think anyone was complaining that our game on Thursday went too long. Always sooking about something, oh waaaa we have a 5 day break - yes every team has one. I also loved the article mentioning geelongs tough road trips in the lead up to finals without mentioning their last 3 games are in Geelong and they always play in Geelong in the last round. Absolute sook, sick of him whinging all the time. Gerard Whateley is slways pushing this agends too and if Brad Scott takes over Hockings role, look out. No supporters have said they want shorter games, have they? How about listening to your constituents instead of sooking coaches.

My wife picked up a copy for me from Puckle St bookstore in Moonee Ponds today. Looking forward to reading, looks really well put together, congrats @Supermercado

Nice win Sainters. Now for the Swans tomorrow ?

What a [censored] was always holier than thou then it came out he was paying multiple women for a bit on the side for decades. Such an honourable man, can't stand him. https://www.smh.com.au/national/im-a-weak-hypocritical-sleaze-hunts-call-on-paid-sex-20060518-gdnkgj.html
