COVID & AFL 2021
I am not sure we will ever see "normal" again but a Covid normal would be very nice. From my friends and Rels I see now that people are on some levels just ignoring the advice now. They are well and truly over not seeing their family, they take reasonable precautions and then just do it. This is as true as I sit here typing I have one elderly friend who said to me "this is worse than dying I am vaccinated and I am not doing it any more I am seeing my family, if I catch Covid and die so be it".

AFL Trade Period
Watching all these clubs with problems with players wanting to leave and others being shown the door when they probably want to stay is almost as good as winning the Premiership. Well it is fun anyway. Where is the “Family “ part of the family club now? All of a sudden we have great culture and they have a poor one. Funny what winning does.

3 More Years for Chris Scott
I seriously doubt they will make the finals in 2022. Then they will have a big payout to consider. Stars are fading fast. They will start to get beaten at home then it will really hit the fan

COVID & AFL 2021
I see today that the Vic government has generously allowed 10,000 patrons into the Melbourne Cup. That would hardly cover training staff, broadcasters and owners. In that light it is hard to see the MFC being able to have 30k+ at the G for any sort of celebration this side of next year. First we were being lockdown to save us, now we are being lockdown because the hospital system cannot cope. My god they have had 20 months to prepare for this and have it would appear done very little. I have a close relative who works in a hospital ICU department, she tells me there has been no changes to expand for increased patient levels since Feb 2020. I have no idea how she keeps fronting up for work every day. Back to the MFC, the future for celebrations in the next couple of months looks bleak.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - OSKAR BAKER
Well behind I would think. I have watched him a few times for Casey and he has been average at best. The problem all players like him have had is that due to the lockdowns they have had almost no chance of developing over the last two years. Tough on all players trying to develop and stay on a list.

Welcome to Demonland - Pick 17
For the past umpteen years this time of the year has been the most interesting time of the football year. This year I could not care less, we are the premiers on the back of some very good recruiting. The FD has iced these details in the past I trust their ability this year and will be interested when it is concluded just for a change.

I love the ones that tell you your Telstra account is about to be closed. Handy as I don't have one.

NC you are about to experience the joys of being a grand father. Over the last 2 years our GD's have keep us sane and I hope the same applies to them. Good fortune sometimes comes in small starting packages.
