Hope you aren't spending too much time thinking these up Zips

Not really.
The doofus has had 53 days to think of a plan to a return.
And today he basically spent the entire press conference ducking and weaving the questions.
All Players will have there "living arrangements" checked

 

[zippadeee]

You need to knock that chip of your shoulder before it consumes you Zips.

We've won two flags and now have a real crack at a third.

And FOOTY. IS. BACK!

I'm as happy as a dog with an extra appendage today.

You don't understand.
Even if won this year's GF they will mark it unfair to every interstate side. That we had the best return draw or the best draw going into the finals etc.
I reckon dimma should try playing Coleman Jones, Collier Dawkins and Ross and regroup for a full tilt at the flag next year.
With a 22 game season, with crowds and hopefully full 20 minute quarters.
This years flag will always be tainted. Dont listen to the AFL bias media saying its going to be "one of greatest achievements" winning this year's flag.
Its bulk****

Clearly not.

Essentially everyone is required to live on stage one style restrictions still and have their living arrangements ticked off by the officer, but you can apply to visit or have visits from specific individuals and they will assess the risk.

And 2 tests per week for each player and results received prior to contact training session and before games....very comprehensive regime

 

[Bernie]

This is true. I'd even watch VFLW if it was on the TV right now!

That’s a long stretch!

You wouldn’t want to be a player(s) or club that stuffs this up when the season kicks off again.

You wouldn’t want to be a player(s) or club that stuffs this up when the season kicks off again.

Or Some Collingwood player

 

[zippadeee]

I don't know who 'they' is but I think you spend too much time thinking about them. Satisfaction and pride comes from within, what other people think is irrelevant.



He's right about that.

Each club now has a COVID-19 compliance officer who will be working through the protocols with all players and staff.

Essentially everyone is required to live on stage one style restrictions still and have their living arrangements ticked off by the officer, but you can apply to visit or have visits from specific individuals and they will assess the risk.

Check yeah right.
45 players, 24 hours a day.
45 x 18 = 810 players
I give it less then 2 weeks.
Some player will get done

10-1 week 1
5-1 week 2
2-1 weeks 3

Its not how but its when.
The players are prisoners playing this year.
Walk away

 

[Tigers of Old]

I didn't think footy would get up at all this year. Am pleasantly surprised that at this stage it is.
Over the bloody moon in fact.

Big deal. They could test 45 times a week.
Its when they break the strict rules about been confined to one house and no interactions with friends and family that is the biggest issue.

 

[AngryAnt]

Not really.

It shows.

If Richmond win the flag: Compromised comp this year, doesn't equate to a normal flag
Anyone else wins flag: One of the greatest achievements ever overcoming such adversity

 

[zippadeee]

It shows.

Yeah Adam Ant
Footy is back
No crowds
16 minute games
Cant wait

Post of the day.
Spot on.
They won't let us win flag this year.
They will have us playing out of WA in the 2 weeks before the finals to bend us over.

If Collingwood win it.
Get the tissue ready. The commentators will explode.

11 June confirmed. It's on like donkey kong.

Finally, something to look forward to!

thats less than 30 sleeps.

if Dusty is fit in October, we win the flag.

A triumph of adaptability; Victory in the face of great diversity (sic - j akermanis); A flag for the true believers
