    All Victorian clubs are also set to temporarily relocate to an interstate quarantine hub next week to keep the season going as the state's COVID-19 numbers keep rising.

    I wonder whether it was the cost or just the players disinclination that stopped this happening to months ago?
    If it was the cost, how much have the AFL lost by not doing it?
    Loose translation from the Latin is - I am tall, so I hit out.

    “It’s still unclear which Melbourne teams will be chosen to come to Sydney, but speculation suggests North Melbourne, St Kilda and possibly Richmond are well and truly in the running.”
    You've got to think it's going to be very difficult to prise Richmond out of their own "super hub" at the MCG that they've been living
    in for years.

    I doubt north would be a sensible choice. Already played the two Sydney teams.
    Those who have the greatest power to hurt us are those we love.

    I can't believe Eddie said that with a straight face.

    Eddie's capable of saying a lot of questionable things with a straight face.

    Eddie has a somewhat Trumpian relationship with the truth.

    Gill has really stuffed this up, by delaying moving out Victorians teams earlier this week.

    The QLD teams should be staying in QLD. Why on earth would you make them leave a safe place to go to the worst place in Australia.
    South Australia has now shut the door to a Hub because they dont want victorian teams at all.

    Meanwhile the NRL keeps chugging along just fine, because they move quickly (NZ to NSW, Storm to QLD) at the first sign of trouble.

    What exactly is Gill doing?. Clarko runs the rules committee, and Eddie runs AFL operations. He's got to go.

    And both havea similarly inflated view of their own comic talents. Which is where I think a fair few of Eddie's problems stem from. He thinks that he's a very funny guy; but he isn't.

    Eddie Mcguire should be sent to a hub on Christmas Island for the rest of the season. We can send Sam Newman there to keep him company.

    Tigers ( and 5 other Vic clubs ) to play the remainder of the season in QLD by the sounds of it ! That’s brilliant ! Bit of poetic justice after their run into the flag last year!
