Footy to Return
- Thread starter Stig
- Start date
Who knows where we'll be in 100 days. Nobody guessed on January 6 that we'd be here.
Good to set goals, but it's largely out of the AFL's control.

It’s not great but we should be ok. We have a great list, although it seems like Bacha may not be there.
Maybe our situation will bring Rancey back?
Players salaries will return to 70% with our bottom line also improving. More to the point flag is ours for the taking. Gotta love that.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Seven West Media shares were trading at 7¢ a week or so ago, which gives you some idea about how much they need footy, especially with the Olympics postponed.
Ironically the same day i was due to fly out to europe
I am 100% against this "footy hub" idea. Although I am starting to think a July start is looking less ambitious and more of a possibility.
I'm not so sure of that. I'm starting to believe we are over the worst of it.
but this i agree with. it will just increase the perception that money and TV are more important than fans.

We are only over the worst of it if we can completely eradicate it and keep borders virus-proof.
And by July 24th we'll be grateful for any new forms of entertainment and topics of conversation. Especially if Collingwood nearly win a premiership, Essendon fail to win a final, and Geelong still don't get to host us at Krapdinia Park.
Not so sure about that. Plenty of replays to watch from various sources atm and as many have said, if it's not the real thing then forget it. I watched the no-crowd tigers game Rd1 but lost interest in the others. Would not watch any more games like that. Try again next year after testing is more widely available and we have this thing under control. We don't just want a flattening of the curve, we need a very small number new infections per day. That could be 12 months. In the U.S. it will be longer.

It’s a way off, but I’ll believe it when I see it. I’m eager to see some live sport, but this will be a bit like a massively long pre season comp.
What a gloomy picture you paint Tigermike, but nevertheless most likely right on the mark, so to speak.
The US is a basket case, which is probably making the you know who country very happy and pleased.
As for us, I personally don't expect any footy this year and wonder about how it will look in 12 months time and into the future.
Now, I am being gloomy as well.
Collingwood cannot win Grand Finals in September and only win them under special circumstances (thanks Saint Failure for 2010).'
Therefore they will likely win any Grand Final out of September so its a HUUUUUUGGGEEEE NO from me
You forgot 1990
They won it October after the draw against WC at VFL park.
If they dont draw a final they wont win one.
Even if they draw one they don't always win . . . 1977, lost the GF Replay in October, admittedly 1 October.

I just booked my flight to Melbourne.
cost be $0.75 each way.
I think 8 week hub idea is fine.
blokes go on oil rigs for a month, on tour with bands and sports teams for months, to war for months,
these blokes get paid to put on a show. most of them want to put on a show. none of them want a 70% pay cut.
bounce the *smile* ball.
I think if you isolated for 2 week IN and OUT of paddle boarding or bakers delight, you could tongue kiss the paddler/customer next to you and be socially/morally/biologically/legally pretty sweet wouldn't you?
FWIW, The only bakers delight I'm interested in, is Liam watching Stackman take speccys
What was the AFL's next brainless idea, because this is *smile* stupid.
Get ready for Robbo to start muck raking.

Not a sheedy fan,but his idea to play extra games is a no brainer, allow 6 on the bench,get extra revenue in ,maybe more than previous years by playing 25-28 games,16 minute quarters,scrap practice matches,play more early in the season,start 2 weeks earlier than normal,that alone gets u 25 rounds ,great idea to make up or increase revenue to higher levels than even previous.
