Amazing , it seemed like 113

 

[S120]

Hot take: GWS are a better team without Callan Ward.

 

[Mister B]

Bloody awful game from what I have seen of it

Wash your mouth out. Any game with Hawthorn getting thumped is a glorious piece of art.

Not much you can do for birthday's in these COVID times. I'll take a Hawthorn loss as a present though.

 

[swanssince2002]

Never would I have thought that Hawthorn would be on our hit list. Couldn't imagine that in 2005.

That’s pretty soft to be honest unless there’s massive reasons

Extraordinary.

Guys getting north of $500k won’t spend a few weeks away from home.

Imagine if the Ashes cricketers took that attitude.

I'm positive touring cricket parties have had players withdraw or stay home for personal reasons

Mate, even the non-champions go on tour to even remotely try to impress on a lot less money

Sure, but it is part of their contract that they do that.

At the start of the year AFL players were expecting to be paid a certain amount for a standard AFL season. A few months later they are earning a fraction of that, and having their lives majorly disrupted on top of that.

And sure, they could have it worse, plenty of people have lost their jobs in this crisis, many people will never earn as much as money as these guys are making. But that doesn't mean that they just have to accept all the changes being forced upon them without having some sort of voice in how we solve the problem of running a season during a pandemic.

Just about every profession involving big money requires time away from home.

Players refusing to go to hubs are both selfish and letting down their clubs (even though the club’s PR people will unanimously declare how the “club respects their decision” and there’ll be a spate of interviews on AFL360 featuring players solemnly declaring that “family comes first”).

Gary Ablett is still going into a hub after his announcement today. Tigers players obviously have their reason for not going into a hub, each to their own.

Maybe some feel it would be selfish and letting down their families if they leave indefinitely when they are needed there? Everyone has different circumstance, I don't think we need to be so quick to judge the players without understanding the reasons for their decision.

West Coast and Freo sucked it up.

Refusing to “hub” is the domain of the pampered Vics who aren’t accustomed to being inconvenienced.
