Lets hope Nev and his family are ok. Nev has done more for our community than this pathetic and cowardly individual sitting behind a keyboard. I watched Eddie Betts the other night, it was harrowing. It's terrible he, or anyone else, has to deal with this disgraceful stuff.

I think this is a good result, we avoid the Perth Hub. Indeed given the uncertainty of the year the idea of basing ourselves in Maroochy for a few weeks is not a bad idea. A familiar place for the team. I'd expect round 7 will be away against a Qld team. It will then be much harder for the AFL to put us in some other hub arrangement. I am not sure the whole home and away thing (apart from Geelong and the WA hub with crowds) is going to mean much this year.

Appalling. Our season thrown into disarray might be worthy of some sympathy.

Seriously, this outcome is unfair to us. Momentum is important in a season not to mention the ability at this early stage to build up match fitness.

As a member of the SCG I got an invite to participate in a ballot for the game last week, so here's hoping for round 5!

Interesting and accurate, Gawn and Trac share something in common at some stage they both realised they wanted to be the best and have worked at it. Just a hint to the rest of the team. No doubt they will just rove to Max. Essendon's mids were good against the Swans and looked pretty fast so we will have our hands full.

Smith's performance cant be rewarded by a move forward, he show no understanding of his role and let his teammates down. I thought Jackson was better than TMac. Why we didn't send Harmes to tag Cripps at least for a while befuddles me and if Richardson is fair dinkum he needs to ask Goody that question.

Bit harsh, he was asked to play on a tall, next to smith and lever who didn't seem to realise they were actually in the backline.

Absolutely, Weid has been played out of position is fit and presents. Smith was hopeless.

This.

Lever was terrible tonight, really unaccountable only lucky that Smith was worse. Let me say it Omac was better round one when he kept Darling in check. Smith had no idea in the end, went up with 2 others attempting a speccy and guess who stays down for a goal. Tmac all out of sorts and I agree he looked heavy.

I feel for Weids as he has not been given a settled forward role and is not a ruckman.

I dont like the shortened quarters. This is going to be a very strange season and sadly will be used to justify even more fiddling with the game.

Absolutely if they help physically or with his confidence (and are allowed) wear them.

Sunday 3.30 suits me but at some stage we need to be thought of as prime time.

Beg to differ, play out of position in Marsh. Runs hard and prepared to present. (Iron hands but that will come I think). Much better option than Brown.

Brilliant idea (thread and classic games). I suggest someone write to Fox Footy to suggest they do a fixture and get some of their commentators to do a fresh track. Most people wont remember who won if they are old enough so it could be quite good.

Is this a Monty Python skit? "Yes Dierdre apart from Sheffield , MCC and some bows and arrows we are..."

Hey Old Dee we may all end up a bit hermit like but always something here to put a smile on the dial. Hope you are ok.

I think we need to be careful about this sort of information but quarantine implies has the virus (which is unlikely) whilst a lot of people are self isolating if they have any flu or cold like symptoms. No doubt any player with a cough or sniffle will be asked to stay away from the group for now.

Any team the Scott Bros have coached, Hawthorn (will never forget), Essendon (same reason), West Coast ( same reason plus they get special umpiring treatment), GWS for being a confection of a team which has been handed the opportunity to vie for the Premiership, Collingwood, Gold Coast and carlton.

I understand that point of view and agree he is not offensive but he worked well with the others and is really operating from the last line. I think his presence allows May to play more offensively.

Ok I will bite. Agree on best players but OMac was good aand how can you break up the back 6 we had tonight? Salem back in on interchange.

Mods: Will Fr ap be banned for speaking too much common sense? I am really hopeful that the balance in our back 6 will produce something special and cant wait to see how Lever, may and Omac work together.
