COVID & AFL 2021
Great to hear. Have my second AZ jab booked for 3 weeks time. Just got notice from the clinic that my appontment had been moved forward by two hours to almost first thing. I suspect that they are getting nowhere near enough bookings to justify a half day or more so they're bunching them first up. Hope that it's not people cancelling their second dose. That would be really dumb.

You would be "mad" to plan to play in Sydney for at least four weeks. Perhaps base them in Wangaratta and Mildura in the meantime. Would be a great boost for regional Victoria. More likely they'll head to Queensland.

CHANGES: Rd 17 vs Port Adelaide
Backline emergency is my guess

Gloomy outlook for the MFC
Could be something in this. Can't recall what time the Adelaide loss was played but our other two losses were during the gloom of the day. Perhaps we have a few vampires on our team.

My Round 17 Preview and Prediction
a drop from 1 to 5 within six days... Wonder if that's a record Only way we win this is if Port kick 6:15

CASEY DEMONS: Rd 12 vs UWS Giants
more concerned about the absence of Chandler and Bedford from this evening. They along with Lockhart are perhaps the interviewees for the seniors As to the key forwards.. remember we don't have much midfield at Casey so........

CASEY DEMONS: Rd 12 vs UWS Giants
not many understand what the modern VFL is all about It's a training session with simualted match conditions GWS are playing top up players and we are ... well I hope we know what we are doing. On a sunny day it's a lovely watch.. when it's 4 degrees dark and an hour minimum drive home I'll get back to a decent movie

CHANGES: Rd 17 vs Port Adelaide
In: Brown and possibly Melksham Out: Don't care we need to score and create forward pressure

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs GWS
Accuracy is rarely our strong point
-
GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs GWS
This team is starting to remind me of the usual MFC lost at selection table. All the talk of defensive forwards is nice but you need to score to win

GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs GWS
Slow start

What they're saying in Grand Parade aka Giants Stadium
yes unfortunately. I think we also gave Freo their first win
-
NON-MFC: Rd 16 2021
yep thought we had a game for a while 10 (sorry 8) goal turnaraound in one quarter plus about two minutes Back to some old TV shows for me I'll check again at 3/4 time. Perhaps that was the Cats only quarter

Mornington Peninsula could be our version of Geelong's lifestyle factor
nice try... why not Many gentlemen farmers in Red Hill not to mention some pricey horse studs The surf at Phillip Island is pretty wild from what I hear TBH if you said that Casey would be the permanent training/admin base in say 5 years I doubt that there would be a handful of presentplayers/ staff who would be impacted. Gives the newcomers certainty.

FIXTURE: Rd 17 2021
not at present. You can go to SA but you have to test and isolate until negative result on arrival and then for 14 days you are not allowed to go to any public events (more than 1000 attendees) Could change by game time... who knows these days https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au/restrictions-and-responsibilities/travel-restrictions#vic

TEAMS: Rd 16 vs GWS
only around 9k at Richmond's game last night Shame that the weather is starting to turn nasty.

COVID & AFL 2021
Will be interesting to see the various vaccination levels required for the four phase plan. The phases are logical but I worry that we may not meet the vax targets. If that happens some tough love may be required. Assuming the first phase which we are now in goes until December 1 (optimistic I think) how many lockdowns and brder closures will we see.

What they're saying in Grand Parade aka Giants Stadium
In a game some years ago they paid a few guys to dress up as orange bananas and that was the GWS cheer squad. It was quite amusing until the game turned and GWS ended up thrashing us. It was one of those many games that MFC went into as red hot favourite.

wow.. very nice not sure if it's good or bad for us Hopefully irrelevant
