COVID & AFL 2021
For the sake of the email discussion you have to assume the Dees will be there or what is the purpose of the email? Well I guess you get a reserved seat at normal games. But when , how many are allowed in and how many games will it be? Lots of imponderables there. For me it is do I want to make a large donation to the club? They no doubt need it after the disasters of the last two weeks financially.

COVID & AFL 2021
I received an email from the club today trying to up sell me to a higher membership for " when we return to the G" . I don't blame them for trying as there was the promise of a GF ticket involved. I wonder how many will jump at the chance with no guarantee that the GF will be at the G?

If you are over 50 you get the astra vaccine and for that you have to wait 3 months. Not because it is medical necessary but because the Government says so. The reason? the want as many as they can to have had the first one asap. I.e not issuing second shots so they have them for people to have first shot.

Nathan Buckley Steps Down as Collingwood Coach
I don't know how good Buckley is as a coach but he seems to have got the best out his list. Sadly for him he has been robbed of good players by others in the FD over the last 3 years. Would you want the job at the Pies? They are giving away their first pick this year and have a list where a few players are paid well over the odds and then a lot who are average talents. It is going to take some time to rebuild their list when you have no money to recruit established players. What other reason would good established players want to go there they are not liable to play in a GF anytime soon.

Membership 2021
In at least one of my comments I said till at least until I have had my second jab which is scheduled for early August. Yes I meant We in the collective sense. I have to say I do not like watch football on TV it runs a very bad second to being at a game. I am hopeful of getting in an August game at the G and hopefully an early finals game. However it depends on the virus remaining under control. Victoria seems incapable of stopping transmission from Quarantine so what I might wanted to do may never happen. So let’s beat the pies in their GF on Monday and see from there. Go Dees.

They had a lot of success in the late sixties and seventies and again in the eighties. While the Dees were bumping along on the bottom.

This is something that mystify's me as well. They were all in one area at our game on Friday night. Only conclusion, it is about the cost and not the risk.

The only thing I am certain about at present is that everything is uncertain no matter when.

I am a fan of having good commentators. Where they are doesn't really bother me.

Yes I feel embarrassed even discussing it when millions have lost their lives etc.

COVID & AFL 2021
The thing that annoys me the most about the covid era of the last 18 months is I cannot plan anything. Overseas holidays are out and even trying to plan an interstate trip is difficult as you know with your Alice springs plan. WE had a small family get together planned for last weekend Ha ha. My wife said to me yesterday as soon as we are allowed out lets do a road trip. I said where to? reply anywhere I am so tired of being stuck in a 5 - 10 km radius of home. We are fortunate we are retired and don't have the work problems that most have. I have always been a planner and not being able to plan is leaving me unhappy as well as all the other crap called staying alive.

I have given up expecting any good news anytime soon. I just behave, stay home expect for absolute must haves and wear my mask. Oh had my shot a month ago. What more can you do.

Interstate Premiers are already bidding to get the GF in their state. You can bet the house on it happening if we make it. Best chance since since 1964 and it will not be at the G.

Does anyone want to bring back the old Demonland?
It was usually caused by what I call hospital hand passes binman where a player hand balled to team mate a metre away who had one or two opponents standing next to him. You know the result, too many of those can result in “ just kick the bloody thing” . There is usually a reason for that response it’s called frustration.

I actually agree with them. Zorko and Tmac was a bit of close off the ball by play from what I can see it did not seem to affect Tmac. Free kick was the right decision end of story for mine.
