    I think Hawthorn will retain that spot in my heart for the foreseeable future.

    That is what I was told by a player from the club. They will start with their best team, then roll players out depending on their load requirements across 6 quarters.

    What a good idea pre-season. It will mean we (I mean the coaches) get a look at everyone.

    I think Ugg's question was one of mathematics rather than fact. Can you have six "quarters"?...

    Absolutely. Provided you have 1.5 of something.

    Looks like we're now playing 10 quarters against GWS, as the AFL has just cancelled the Suns game and replaced it with this:
    Sunday, March 7
    GWS Giants v Sydney at Giants Stadium, 1.10pm AEDT

    Bloody hell......a lot of us feared we be playing GWS twice as our early pre season preparation. Any reason given for the Suns game cancellation?

    They said that they didn't want any teams to travel because of the coronavirus risk. Which seems a bit odd, because I don't think that we've had any new, locally acquired cases?

    Some old codger playing the pokies at Coolongatta Surf Club was heard sniffling yesterday so the entire state will have to go
    into lockdown, and our H & A season will now consist of 22 games against GWS.

    Yes, even though I'm almost always on the side of caution, in the coronavirus debate, I don't really understand that one, since things have probably improved from when they originally named the games. Although, I don't suppose that it really matters who we play in the preseason.

    What's the issue with playing GWS twice? Pre season is about us and fine tuning, not opposition at all

    As a mathematician I object strongly to this contention
