    That's a bit of a raw deal for the crabs.....

    It would be even more amusing, if they all lost to a resurgent Suns.

    I reackon the AFL are within a bee's dick of suspending the season for a week or two to let them get their hubs in order.
    Could even stop play any time this weekend.

    The sticking point with the current season continuing at all will be the negotiations over Richmond's compensation package for
    having to play away from the MCG for more than one week in a row. Apparently the Tigers are demanding that all 22 H&A games
    and any finals they play in 2021 be at the MCG and that any games they play in the Queensland hub this year be played with
    no crowds (and broadcast with no canned crowd noise) as their players and fans are not used to hearing cheers from opposition
    supporters. Trent Cochin has also demanded a private jet be available to him 24/7 "for family reasons" and Jack Reiwoldt has
    already "put his body on the line" once this year for the Bushfire Relief game and staying in Queensland for a few weeks is
    just too much to ask, and so won't be playing there.

    A bit unfortunate that Sydney has to accommodate that hawthorn trash for the foreseeable future. I guess the only upside is that their grubby little fans will have to stay home.
    It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

    Not sure how Clarko will be able to have coffee with Gil if he’s stuck in Sydney?

    It could be the making of the AFL. 2020 marks the real year that the VFL becomes the AFL

    Nope, back to being the VFL the instant Victoria cleans up it's Covid crisis.

    I am really hoping it continues on and on so that the finals and particularly the GF have to be played elsewhere. Fingers crossed for that one :-)

    Can't believe what I'm hearing on the news about large numbers, was it 10k?, of hotspot people refusing to get tested. That's the stupid attitude that got them into the current quagmire!

    Both those individuals should be fed to the crabs!

    Both embarrassing themselves this week, yet again. Really loved Sidebottom going on such a bender that he didn't know what he was doing at 7.30 in the morning! Eddie's attempts to defend him were cringe worthy.

    Does anyone know whether crowds will be allowed at the Brisbane v Cats game at the SCG next week and if so how one can get hold of tix?

    Those people think COVID is a hoax and refused to get tested.

    108 positive cases today and more suburbs closed. If this testing blitz wasn't occurring all these people would be spreading the virus.

    They should be allowed. It shouldn't matter that the swans aren't playing.
