  1. Interesting that the VFL fixture has been based on the AFL aligned teams playing on the same day as the AFL team play. Assume it was requested by the clubs to provide synch between the levels but given they play at different venues it is another knock on the VFL comp crowdwise.
  2. Saints 2020 was our 2018 but worse Other than King they don't seem to have much coming through Could be nasty if they do a North
  3. Thinking of heading with my chair along so any details would be welcome. I assume MFC membership gets me free admission as in earlier years. If KC can give us the player numbers and possibly the team when available that would be great. Box Hill was the site of the Weid's big VFL breakout game so let's hope he can repeat it.
  4. TV probably one game into Sydney... one into Melbourne Interest in the Sydney game outside Sydney would be very low
  5. In theory it's an easy tipping round as other than Crows v Freo there is a firm favourite in each match. Sure to be a few upsets though Richmond Eagles Bulldogs Swans (hoping for a GWS win though) Port Brisbane Freo Cats and of course US
  6. my guess is no as they want to maintain control of which parts of the ground are opened. As MFC crowds are in the main around 30-40k I foresee a lot of closed levels for the year. Hope I'm wrong
  7. correct the end to end goal is one of the best risk/reward transitions in the game. We have the perfect team with our talls and Pickett to take advantage of the process.
  8. the new system isn't rocket science and is being trialed for a couple of games this weekend. All it is that if you buy five tickets you have to put in contact details for all five and not just yourself as the buyer
  9. surprises me as our kick outs have definitely improved this season. Scope for improvement as with several other areas... a good thing
  10. seriously... a crowd of around 35k and they offer you that seat
  11. forgive my medical ignorance but although the eye socket will repair itself in 3-4 weeks does that mean it is ready for physical contact sport. The AFL rules forbid many medical guards on the basis that they pose injury risks to other players
  12. according to the CHO its not about spacing but more about zones and stopping cross overs between zones. He was quoted today as saying they were not too sure how they could move to 100% and still maintain space between zones. Stupid I know as with both last weeks game and this one everyone could have easily spread out and a lovely time would have been had by all.
  13. and it allows them to close off more of the ground thus reducing staff and cleaning costs. The issue will be who pays them or the ticket company or will we all get the dreaded $5 admin fee
  14. AFL ticket allocation exhausted for all areas except one bay on level 1. This really is a joke
  15. Remember It was this game that started the... Is Goodwin the Right Guy thread (and rightly so ) An important one Dees by 32
  16. one small plus is that it should not limit his running and other fitness work. Perhaps a phantom like mask and he can even join in light contact training in a week or so.
  17. 6. Viney 5. Lever 4.Fritsch 3.Langdon 2. Petracca 1. Oliver Spargo would have got 3 votes if he had kicked 2 goals Apolgies to Gawn and a few other players.... very good team effort
  18. Petty has not played full back. He's either CHF or CHB. If Tomlinson plays FB then you have to ask who provides the better balance Hibberd or Petty. Petty offers the more upside longer term but it's not simple by any means.
  19. 75% occupancy designed for distancing and the AFL auto ticketing system closes a significant proportion of the upper level of the stands. It will happen again next week against Hawks
  20. Easing the lid off the jar Great win
  21. Maybe there is a football god after all. Go Dees
  22. well big last quarter coming up Following the Dees is never easy
