Autopsy AFL 2021 Round 20 - Bombers v Swans Sun August 1st 3:10pm EST (MCG)

[Lore]

They have partners, you don't need a ring to have family

It's been repeated ad nauseam that our players don't have families, therefore it must be true

 

[Ticky009]

Okey - here we go

Mitch Cleary reporting Bombers hopeful of flying into Melbourne this afternoon and are still confident its game will go ahead this weekend, either tonight or tomorrow.

That might be a stretch.

 

[Arctic fox]

So the MCG and Marvel are free tomorrow. Hmmm....

Can if they get an exemption.

Honestly, who knows anymore. Things changing so quickly its hard to keep up.

May stay up there with Tom Hickey (wife expecting twins any moment plus has a toddler), Sam Reid and others with little kids. Most of the families/partners had just got of quarantine.

Would be known soon enough right? They're about to board a plane.

Given the families are out of quarantine, which can't they fly with the players to Melbourne?

Families arent out of quarantine. They went in on July 22. 14 days from that is next Thursday.

 

[mattpolo8]

Why didn't they put Port v GWS at MCG and have Essendon legit have a home game at Marvel? Seems a bit..backwards.

I'm not sure there will be a huge crowd at either venue. As far as I know it was a Swans home game so they probably chose the G. No finals at Marvel - you never know this year though!

You know about the global pandemic?

 

[Great8]

You know about the global pandemic?

I do, just like I know about all the other Melbourne clubs staying in Melbourne throughout.
Amazing how all week we couldn’t play Sydney in Melbourne and then like a miracle they can change it with an hours notice today. We have been absolute screwed about by the fixture all year, it’s time the club grew a set and returned fire at these clowns

Gives us a chance of getting within 5 goals, would get mauled at Marvel

 

[Macca18]

Haven't lost to the Swans at the MCG since the Semi Final of 1923.

Only played them 10 times (10-0) at the ground in the following 98 years... would be a good record to keep.

Surprised the AFL didn’t just award the points to you after they let Buddy off!

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

Oh we gave him the week off. It was the principle. You know about those things.

Actually I have no idea whether he has the week off.
