Very happy with this. Replacing Tex I wonder....?

All previous games under covid reduced attendances involved no fee.

We have already paid them to attend the game & there have been less games for our membership, so it's a little rich to charge yet another fee!

Someone at Ticketek probably forgot to switch that function off.

Lazy private sector "workers"

I think Cook could be like Fritsch. So likely.

AFC replied & apologised for the ticketek service fee error & we will get full refunds.

Wouldn't surprise me if Tickettek "accidentally" added that in and then decided to wait and see if anyone complained.

Surely replacing Rowe?

Cook playing this weekend means every single player we brought into the club in the 2020 trade/draft period has played in 2021. Thilthorpe, Pedlar, Cook, Berry, Rowe, Hately and Hinge all with at least one game under their belt.

Has that happened for us before? I guess it helps that we didn't take any rookies (not counting Gibbs).

 

[DJ75]

Whilst I think Cook will struggle this week (we will get smashed, so his chances as a half forward will be limited), I'm on record as saying that I think he will end up being the best of the players picked in the draft last year. I think his ceiling is that high.

 

[DJ75]

Maybe, but I don't think so. Just putting one and one together and getting 3.
Tex not training. Will front team this afternoon. Cook named....

If you don't count Borlase and Newchurch

Hah! For some reason Footywire doesn't list those. Should have know I'd forgotten someone.

I guess chuck Murray into the debut list as well.

You may be right that we go in smaller for the conistions... but reckon we then play Thilthorpe as a more dangerous small crumbing forward than Rowe.

Now that is some good news.

I was getting something similar from earlier than that. I suspect it could of been a real slow release of tickets given the complexity of spacing. Obviously all programmed but perhaps extra controls.

Cook to debut

We've got our eighth AFL debutant of 2021

Officially locked in, and it's a well deserved debut for Brayden. Looked like he'll be a hell of a player from what I've seen in the SANFL.

" Adelaide has now debuted eight players in the AFL in 2021, along with two Club debutants "
yet we still don't play enough kids........

 

[Gtowncrow]

I’ve seen them three times this year in Vic?

Good job. They've played a handful of times in Victoria but the only games I could attend, I couldn't get tickets or there was zero crowds.
I'm hoping the Melbourne game might be my chance...

is it just me or does Fritsch look like Bevis

Shouldn't be having to wear masks in a state where there's no community cases and hasn't been for at least 3 weeks.

Guess you don't need to wear a seat belt while driving when you haven't had a crash for 12m.

This is a pretty extraordinary case of false equivalence.

The masks protect against transference of a virus. When cases of the virus don't exist, the masks are unnecessary.

I'm not going to join the freedom march wackadoos - but holding people in constant crisis is impractical. If you want people to trust you around snap lockdowns, you also need to let them be released back to normal life once the crisis has passed.

 

[Gtowncrow]

Apologies for going off-topic with covid rubbish. I'm not discussing it any further in here, it's selection day. Just one final thing, I'm right and anyone that disagrees is wrong. Now, don't be childish and respond, it's time to move on. Be the bigger person. Don't be like me.

That's a BF gold standard post right there.
Made me smile.

Really looking forward to seeing Cook debut didn't expect to see it happen this year. Good luck to him, he is a good height as well at 190 and didn't think he would be 85 kg looks less than that to me.

The point is that the virus can explode in a very short period of time, and the mask wearing can limit the spread while we are unaware that it is out there. It's risk mitigation for an unseen threat.

We've been lucky to contain it in SA so far (ie people actually getting tested and thus identifying where they have been). But all it takes is a couple of idiots and it could explode before we even know it. Hence the masks.

The lockdown was not that long ago. I don't think these measures still being in place is an overreach. Particularly for a high risk event.

Jees, looks like Cook has really matured into his frame over the course of the season.



Compare that to the photo's of the day he was drafted. Where he looks more like the kid who won the Ozkick B&F then a draftee.



EDIT: Just checked and these 2 photo's were not even 9 months apart, probably closer to 7 or 8 as I don't know exactly when the newer photo was taken

Better than Filthy?

Big, big call
