Autopsy Richmond v Carlton, AFL Rd 1 2020 - Thursday 19 March 2020 - 7:25 PM (AEST) - Teams announced

Does it matter if it goes ahead? If it does we already know the outcome (gifted 4 points to Tiges) Hardly worth the effort really.

Depends if you want to try and get a season out?

 

[Dez!]

Might be a precaution.

How? The only reason could be for multiple games in a week.

Exactly. But if in three rounds they needed to shorten they already have it built in for consistency.

My query is more why don't they announce that along with looking to play multiple games in a week? On it's own it just makes no sense.

 

[SM]

We're on.

 

[Drewie11]

Now we can get to bagging that blues forward line..... is it even VFL standard?

Don’t think it will be played!

Just got a call from my brother whom was rostered to work (cabling)the game for Channel 7, told all 142 person crew not required!

All 142 person crew not required, just the 141 person crew yeah?

I applaud the AFL for trying to make it happen but nobody really knows what the future is going to bring. My thought turns more toward the annual slaughter of Carlton first up by Richmond. For Gods sake give The premiers a toughie first up. Not a guaranteed 4 points.

I’ve got my tickets!
Flying down tomorrow via Wuhan

I guess the round 1 opening game has been set well before we were good, we used to get stomped every year by a big rival and I hated it year on year, until we came good.

FWIW - I am in the GF rematch game opening the season each year, the premiers hosting and they unfurl the flag. I reckon it would be huge.

What?
Anyway, word is North are going to offer him 990k per year on a 3 year deal next year.
I wonder if he'll take the offer?

He can't be the new Carey....He's not a violent sex abuser.

Why would we do that when we have two gun key forwards in Brown and Larkey and drafted another beauty in Comben?

I was told all pre-season about CCJ, he can't even get a game?

Brown and "Larkey" lol

North, still irrelevant.

Didn't have his best game when we beat you last time we played (in the men's, we flogged your women as well) but was still good for a young bloke.

It is a shame how you finally get good and this season isn't gunna be a thing and you'll be overtake by a bunch of other sides for the next real show.

Hope you're not referring to North.

Righto, enjoy the last minutes of being good before the darkness descends for another three decades.

Dez,
I don't think the AFL have the operational freedom to announce confirmed match fixtures much beyond week to week, as they need to follow/adhere to the Governments directives and advice on the crisis, which can and is changing every few days.
If, for example the Gov. announces next week of a lock-down of all non-essential interstate travel, I doubt they will also announce 'with the exception of the AFL and NRL teams...?
