Maxy to Gunston please…

Maxy will be on ginnivan or Watson. Unless he plays forward to match up on Sicily

 

[GameofSloanes]

Dear out is handy for us

Not really. Mitch Lewis just comes in, usually does well vs us

But that would result in away finals having equivalent restrictions on our members. Finals are a blank stadium, I don’t understand what’s inherently wrong with that.

Like the MCG? A blank stadium with a capacity of 100,000.

A blank stadium errr except for the MCC area which holds 23,000 so do you mean a blank stadium for the remaining 77,000 seats???

Wait a minute, then there is the AFL members area which holds 22,000 so you mean a 55% blank stadium.

Wait, wait, wait, I haven’t subtracted the seats in the corporate areas…….so basically a 50% blank stadium.

Rachele sick, was kept away from the group. Tex and Nicks sounded sick last week, Laird and Filthy sick, no doubt others are or about to come down with it. Laird missed the game review.

ANB was pulled out of media duties today due to being sick.

I have often wondered about the decision to have open training sessions and to run around high fiving people as finals begin. Given the amount of illness in the community, it seems risky.

 

[Greenfinger]

A bunch of players sick last week ? https://7news.com.au/sport/afl/adel...rs-sick-during-finals-campaign-c-19951886.amp

Some good analysis of how we were beaten/how we lost.

Unfortunately the AFL and MCC deals mean that’s as blank as the G gets.

 

[MarcusP2]

That’s absurd. It’s a final, not an extra home and away game. How precious do you need to be to worry about an evenish crowd distribution. Talk about loser mentality.

'worry'? Who's worrying? It's not like I blamed our performance on that.

Thinking the home team should get better access to tickets than the away team is loser mentality?

WTF.

And frankly why should finals be any different to a home and away game. In the FA Cup for example they allocate a maximum of 15% for away fans. Seems reasonable.

 

[Rotayjay]

The cold that I just had was 2 days of being sick and a lingering cough. A fit person should be good to go on Friday.

There was something going around. I was crook for a week or more. The illness also seemed to linger, where I thought I was getting over it, but I ended up feeling the same the next day.

 

[Trigger13]

Well, the illness does prob explain a lot. Doesn’t help the prep for this next game. The world is conspiring against us

Some good analysis of how we were beaten/how we lost.

The only thing i'd disagree on is they're saying Nicks would be disappointed we played so safe, but i'd say that is Nicks to a tee when we get into a high pressure game.

Yes, finals are a blank stadium EXCEPT for the MCG.

So it’s reasonable for Victorian team members to have access to 75% of the MCG but schmucks in Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Perth have to provide approximately equal access (based on total memberships for each club) to our blank stadiums.

Fortunately Qantas and Jetstar do their best to minimise supporters flying into (or out of) Adelaide.

 

[GreyCrow]

Still need a wall at the border

I hadn't had a cold/flu in 6 years (social distancing champion) but I've had 2 in the last 3 weeks. I suspect it was the same one twice.

yeah but that would mean people from Adelaide would be locked in a retirement village their whole life.

Cruel.

You're just jealous that we get to wear adult diapers. And since when does a Carlton supporter have any right to throw any shade at us, our state practically gifted your last premiership to you.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Maxy will be on ginnivan or Watson. Unless he plays forward to match up on Sicily

If we go with that idiotic defensive forward structure again we deserve to lose

 

[Redleg Crow]

At least it’s not parvovirus…. Smdh

 

[119others]

Odds have tightened. Hawks were $2.10 (perhaps even closer to $2.20 when markets opened Saturday night) now $2.02

At least they won't barrack for Carlton.

I live in Victoria and it is a crime infested cesspool. The gloss has certainly come off post covid. Give me ‘retirement village’ any day.

My partner (who had probably never heard of SA before he met me) cannot wait to move to Adelaide. I am over here for work but it certainly has lost its shine, cesspool is a good description

There’s been a nasty strain of Influenza A this year that is knocking a lot of folks on their ass.

Of course. It's a two horse race. No point in backing short odds favourite when there's a strong chance the longer odds will get up. The more money punted on the longer odds the odds shorten.
