COVID & AFL 2021
As OD has said 6 is the minimum Now anything around 10 is considered the sweet spot. If you feel exposed get it anytime after 6 but better at 8,9 or 10 12 was picked in the UK for supply reasons and it became the early default standard. Good luck

COVID & AFL 2021
they could easily fly one or two games into Adelaide which would make it work well crowd wise If you were playing all in WA at least two of the first weeks games would be played at a WAFL stadium because you just wouldn't get any reasonable attendance for all four games. Other than the GF the crowds in Qld last year were rather abysmal

TEAMS: Rd 21 vs West Coast
not convinced that Bowey is the right replacement though. Could be interesting. Seems Lockhart has missed his chance

TEAMS: Rd 21 vs West Coast
no Hibberd is a little surprising... will be interesting to see how the defence structures up against a more agressive forward line than that which GCS served up last week.

Position names
half back flank was where you hid your worst player except in schoolboy football it was the wing. (You could stand on a wing all day and never see the ball.) The position that has clearly disappeared is that of the "follower" or ruck rover. TBH I coudn't tell you who plays centre for MFC these days

2021 Membership Ladder
agree... the number of reserved seat holders is probably a better measure of comparative revenues.

the fun bet is when will lockdown 7 start... On a more serious note while lockdowns have their place in and out of lockdowns with trailing restrictions become harder each time to enforce

yep ... being vaccinated is three times better in preventing infection than not being vaccinated (100k in the study which is a very large study) https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/english-study-finds-50-60-reduced-risk-covid-double-vaccinated-2021-08-03/

Training Ground?
given the location compromise was always going to be the outcome. What worries me is that we have locked ourselves into 20th century training facilities when many other clubs have now moved beyond anything we can deliver in the MCG precinct

CHANGES: Rd 21 vs West Coast
Tactics question can Bowey play heavy defence. At VFL level he plays a similar role to Salem. Rivers also plays the running defender job. Interesting mix which places resposibility on Petty, Lever and May If we were playing an in form Richmond who plays on Dusty?

Training Ground?
well you did ask... very popular at Glastonbury I understand where they are accompanied by hay bales
-
Training Ground?
one of my absolute favourites OD... but try Madrid (similar but nowhere near the tourist numbers) Nil desperandum.. the world will open again... probably before our training facilities do !!!

Training Ground?
well in the old days (the sixties) they emptied into the gutters of Paris and each day the gutters were flushed with water from the Seine which they still do today sans pee. The French are so cool sometimes.
