Would laugh loudly if this weekends Geel V Gold Coast game was moved to Sydney as looks like any Queensland team coming to Vic is going to have to self quarantine for 14 days on return to Queensland. Cant see any game in Vic for any Queensland side in the short term. Getting more and more compromised as we go !

Hey, good idea, I mean, the dimensions of the ground don't matter, right? They can play it at the SCG, that has similar dimensions to Kardinia Park doesn't it ;)

What? Are they taking the p!ss or what?
No, it’s a fair question. He won a flag 10 seasons ago!

Anyway, they’re clearly premiers 2020. I mean they’ve beaten Carlton, Suns and Melbourne recently.....so, look out!

I guess there's a fair chance that game will be moved.

Nsw will shut shop by the weekend.
SA will not open its borders, they will stay shut.
WA has tooooo much to lose if they keep the borders open.
Get ready for another intermission.

It will be only be a matter of time before this virus goes through the other states. Inevitable.

Vic

Get onto Facebook/You tube
And look up "Richmond supporters celebrating the 1980 GF."
During the 3 minute video, the reporter wanders around the crowd asking basic questions about the 81 point win over Collingwood.
Till he gets to this old fellow and they have a conversation about the game, who was good, the score etc.
Then out of no where the bloke says, (can't hear the blokes name) "he better go out and spend some money by putting a full page apology in the Sun on Monday" The reporter responds with "yeah he WAS very critical of you guys during the finals".
How old is Hutchy?
Is it Lyoldy?
Is it Kane Cornes???

The AFL will play the shell game for as many weeks as it can get.

I dont think they plan on having a GF at the moment TBH.

I think they are more concerned about cramming in as many rounds as possible and will move the goal posts etc on a weekly basis if needs be to get the result which I simply think is an arbitrary number of rounds to satisfy the broadcasters.

Lets say 12 rounds for an arbitrary figure to allow for cash flow even if the season is then halted by the Corona BS.

Hence their talk of compressing the season and getting as many games in over as short a time frame as possible.

It wouldnt at akll surprise me should they have a target number of rounds they are trying to get to in order to satisfy the powers that be that they tried their hardest to make their revenue.
