Must say I've been happy with the non colour clash of jumpers on TV but that chocolate hawthorn jumper... Even an orange V might have helped save it fashion wise

Out of interest would you be happy with a split round. I suppose the Round zero rubbish allows them to split the following rounds via the early series of byes to even up the rest periods. Perhaps a round in Perth and Adelaide for round zero might enable them to even things up a bit better. Funnily enough I think a Round Zero match in Tasmania might have worked well this year

So Essendon and GCS will be one game behind for the full season. Will make ladder calculations just that more difficult but good training for the never ending bye we will see if a nineteenth team joins the league

With my MFC hat on two draws would be nice but I might even be happier with a 100 point loss by the Pies

Good point It was explained last year that they were taking advantage of no NRL in Sydney or Brisbane. Obviously it's now a television/money play which just makes the long season another week longer

info already posted

How cynical but so true. Shades of the F1 non cancellation on the outbreak of covid and the lawsuit over the post race concert.

Agree. There's a small chance though that it may be a non event. A few weeks ago a level 5 cyclone was heading straight for Australia's main iron ore port of Port Hedland. It ended up crossing 100kms south as a level 3 and damage was minimal. Nature is hard to predict sometimes

It is an almost certainty to be postponed. I suspect it will be to a date to be advised on Friday or Saturday after the initial damage assessment. Being on the Brisbane River there is no way a game proceeds at the Gabba on Thursday night. The degree of concern in Brisbane is palpable. AFL in danger of an own goal if they delay postponing the game. The GC game is a little different being scheduled for Saturday

Forever thus

Yep One goal in a half of football won't win many games

mmmm Interesting a straight swap ?? Unfortunately the game has moved on and small forwards are the new gold What else are they offering.... $$$$$

well... that went bad very quickly

I think it has

How does that Freo song go

Great to see the usual last minute goal by the opposition Lots of cobwebs to be blown

It's 28 degrees according to BoM

Imagine if they were goals

And 20 minutes later it's 29

Presently 33 at Mandurah according to BoM site

Currently 27 degrees in Mandurah with a predicted maximum of 35. It will be a warm one. Wind does not appear to be a factor

NRL are expecting 50k at the opening NRL game in Vegas. Amazing if true

Three lovely suburban grounds to attend (yes I know about the wind at Willy but seeing ships sail by the outer wing is rather cool not to mention fish and chips on the Esplanade pre-game). Then of course there's the Burra Burger and giant dim sims at Port.

Jefferson is named as an emergency for tomorrow's game in Perth so I doubt he contributed to the scoring at Casey today

But who kicked all those behinds?
