Pies into the 8

yep the media is starting to question the decisions. Just like we did with the Darwin game. Alice is the optimum destination if you have to sell a game. Dry and around 22 at game time. Not sure what it would be like playing at night there as we haven't done so as yet

The 7 day covid out runs from the time of the positive RAT. I assume they followed up the RAT with a PCR within 24 hours. Of the missing 5 my guess is that original 3 get out Wednesday, Petty on Thursday and ANB Friday ( Goodwin on Tuesday?) On a more positive note you would hope that if the rest of the players are clear on Monday we shouldn't see another major outbreak (at least not next week)

Saints sold 4 points. Oh well...many of us know what that feels like

bank it and move on Very few highlights save that Bedford is ready. Not sure what if anything it did to solve the Weid v T Mac debate Need to play a lot better next week

would be nice to see a dominant 4th quarter right on cue.. Hawks kick a goal

Six goal quarter... much better forward work Hawks on 59 points... Our aim is to keep the other team around 60 points. Let's see if we can do it

there's 1

pedestrian performance Hopefully we pick it up in the third quarter

was about to post that we need a little something from BBB and !!!!!!

and another 3 please to finish off the quarter please ... those pesky behinds

Dockers giving Cats the Old Heave Ho

Giants pulling away from Crows. With Port near the bottom it could be a cold winter in the city of churches

Can't recall the Eagles ever being in the bottom 2 or 3 teams. Sure they've been mid table but always competitive. They are one of if not the wealthiest team in the AFL. Watch out for some vigorous wheeling and dealing as they rebuild. Meanwhile if Adelaide beat GWS today they will probably slip into the top 8. Amazing given where they were last year.

joke..... thanks whoever put this on prime time. Haven't seen much of WCE this year. They are bad to say the least

Brings T Mac back into contention but I'm starting to warm a little for Melksham

Assuming the MCG is awash on Saturday.... Dunstan for Sparrow Bedford (or possibly Chandler) for Pickett Mitch Brown for Jackson Weid to play 25% in the ruck Medi Sub = Smith PS: Plus of course Viney and Lever in

Seems like we could be lucky to keep it down to three and the coach

Strong chance of being very wet on Saturday. Perhaps a mobile medium or a Chandler gets a chance and Weid is the relieving ruck Mitch Brown anyone??

Life delivers lots of curve balls these days. study out of the US today* ....based on antibody tests 50% of adults and 75% of children have had covid. At least the changes thread will come to life * reported in the Guardian

Hibberd ... available great to hear. Casey will be very strong this week against the Box Hill Hawks with T Mac, Tomlinson,Bedford, Dunstan and Hibberd 2:05pm Sunday.... I believe at Box Hill... a lovely place to watch a game and easy parking within a five minute walk

Thought I'd bump this thread simply because in this week changes thread a few are suggesting Rivers as the possible weakest link. I don't think anyone has gone that way in this thread. Hunt's game on Bolton has put him forward as the new lock down defender perhaps

Collingwood were lucky with their accuracy. Sure you make your own luck but anything over 75% accuracy is luck. They operated at 84% accuracy. A score of 13 goals 5 points is more towards the outer mean. On that score they win by one point. We operated at around 30% accuracy on the weekend

I recall they had a chat with the likes of Amazon but they went nowhere. Personally I don't think they'll get far as the viewer market is just too small for the mega players. The competition will come from Stan and Optus

Australia is one of the few countries in the world to have anti siphoning rules but they are a bit of a dog's breakfast and are up for review in April 2023. The glaring loophole is that while the rules manage competition between cable (Foxtel) and FTA, streaming services being digital are outside the rules. Also cricket showed that if an industry asks the Govt will change the rules... ODI's involving the national team were on the list but are now wholly behind a paywall.
