to sign him for more than 3 years would be a mistake.

Both Melksham and T Mac signed until the end of 2022 on decent money Not looking great in hindsight

Imagine if we had lost to a kick by a guy called "Brandon Zerk-Thatcher"

Cometh the hour cometh the Fritta ?

you have to laugh

Game reflecting our season middling at best

When Hunt kicks half your goals you know your forward lines not working

you know why

we have a habit of being one quarter wonders even when we win would be nice to see a few more solid quarters

Sponsorship contracts are usually full of multiple exposure kickers. Unfortunately I doubt we hit any of them for 2020. Will be interesting to see how much red ink there is in the annual report. A repeat of poor on field performances (especially in the first 5-6 games of the season), lower memberships and compromised crowds due to covid will test us severely in 2021.

When this is all over there will hopefully be a rational consideration of the world's reaction. Unfortunately this relatively mild pandemic has shown us that the world does not act rationally. As an avid student of alternative histories who will write the history of 2020? Could it be Asia?

There really should be a pre game disclosure on this point.

The Giants were built on the model of skilled corridor attack. Zoned ultra defences killed the beautiful beast

Agree... that's why it is a mid level team at best plenty of time to discuss in the off season which I think will start in about 24-48 hours

And another door closes

Just has the look of a mid table team I can count 7 players that you can argue should/shouldn't be in the team. Bad memories of our loss to their Reserve side

Did those who designed the Vic roadmap design that as well. when can I get the gardener back ?

Players wont be allowed in Qld on that basis.... "There are reports that Queensland is considering changing its requirements for opening the borders to New South Wales. The Chief Health Officer’s current recommendation stipulates that NSW has to go 28 days with no cases of community transmission before we would let them back into Queensland. That clock was reset yesterday, when just one mystery case was recorded over the border. It’s understood Queensland Health is now considering halving the number of days to 14, after South Australia announced similar measures yesterday. They are today opening up to the ACT but will not open to NSW until it’s been two weeks of no new community transmission. Queensland Health maintains that it reviews the border restrictions at the end of every month." https://www.mygc.com.au/queensland-considering-changes-to-border-opening-requirements/ As to games in Vic with those numbers crowds would be limited maybe even as low as 25% and at most 50%

They offered two months this year for $2.50 per month. Problem was there was only one game played https://help.kayosports.com.au/s/article/AFL-Club-Member-Offer

Eagles have no desire to win this one. Plane is probably warming up already

In his defence this is what the Saviour of the AFL aka the Qld Premier demanded... not Dan OTHH no way will full crowds be allowed anywhere before you have well and truly hit that threshold The first hurdle will be the cricket and the tennis both of whom are sweating

Until the AFL releases its financials on this comp the non aligned clubs are really in the dark. Wonder if they were consulted. RIP the Burra Burger ? ?

Mad Monday could be interesting.... "The AFL has threatened fines of up to $10,000 or to send home players who behave poorly while holidaying in Queensland after their season ends." https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/behave-or-you-ll-be-sent-home-the-post-season-message-to-afl-players-20200917-p55wga.html

Full attendances will be July at the absolute earliest certainly in Melbourne. Assuming the vaccine is available in say mid Feb And then there's the border issue Melbourne will never pre vaccine go 30 days without community transmission which is what Anastasia was demanding

Did the emails contain any mention of your generosity for 2020 and/or the possibility of no attendance for all or part of 2021
