2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[SugarShane]

Im so happy and proud of the SA Gov for not allowing a hub in SA.

We dont need nor want AFL in this town under those conditions considering the current world wide pandemic.

Life is good here, why ruin it for meaningless worthless AFL games for a few weeks. Just look how Melbourne and soon Sydney are in lockdown again.

Same. Back when Rona was in full flight it was ridiculous how much news was just "When is the AFL coming back?"

I would've been almost certain that our government would fall over themselves to accomodate some bullshit like this but I think it's great that we haven't bent to it.

I know we aren’t scoring heavily, but sh*t, not many teams are! Even with the shortened games this is an abnormally low scoring season.

Except when they play us

 

[mattymac]

Won’t be an asterisk spoon you lot end up with bet on that

Who won the AFL covid premiership will be a pub quiz question.

 

[BACCS]

Except when they play us

A couple of bad ones, but the last couple of weeks haven’t been overly high scores against

NSW border not reopening next week as planned, going to make the fixture interesting now

Hubs will jump around and eventually end up somewhere like Darwin or tassie

Annoying, as I rebooked a trip to NSW next month.

Understandable, as I'd rather be inconvenienced by cancelling flights/hotels (again) than having the whole state inconvenienced by a COVID outbreak

This is great news. Probably the best feel good story for the day.

It's not so funny when our coach has learned everything he knows under Hinkley except for 1 year under Cameron.

I'm sure he'd likely have picked up a few ideas from Ron Barassi, Rodney Eade and Paul Roos as well in his time at the Swans?

Still reckon the entire comp should have moved to QLD. Gabba, Metricon and Cairns host 6 teams each. All games played at neutral venues.

 

[jackster83]

The NRL now talking about moving the entire comp to Queensland.

Loooong time ago. His greatest influence on his coaching would be the most recent experiences as a coach. Mich more relevant than his playing days.

Thank christ our government was more concerned about the health of its people.

Mate of mine put $20 on Sydney finishing bottom after Heeney's season ending injury
I asked him where he thinks Adelaide are getting three wins from
He said "well Sydney to start with"
"Crows lost to them already in rnd 1"
"..... ****..."

What's the old saying? "A fool and his money are soon parted".

 

[chazwazza]

So I assume they’re still allowing 27k to AO for Monday? Starting to look like a poor decision if so.

We probably won't get that many on a Monday night anyway

 

[GROTTO]

Good timing so we can explain our poor crowds are due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Port can claim its business as usual.

You just never, ever know what’s going on in people’s lives.

Crows are $4.50 to go winless this year just FYI. Tempting.

Those odds will get a lot shorter if we don't beat St Kilda on Monday. They're one of only 2 teams left (Carlton) who we have any chance of beating.

Where is that, SB?

If we hadn’t of played them already he would probably be correct as Heeney and Kennedy were the major difference in round one

Dont know about anyone else, but from my end it has been interesting reading about the recent name changes going on in US sport (long over due in some cases, particularly the Redskins).

To this end, and just a thought I had, but in order to get at least one "positive" story out of the Crows in 2020, and this is JUST AN IDEA (dont shoot me down anti-PC police), but I wonder if members would ever support us changing our colours to red, yellow and black? Would be a great acknowledgment to our traditionally owners in SA and amongst our indigenous players (both now and in the future), would (in my opinion) be seen very positively in the broader Australian community, and even would be far better from a marketing / merchandising perspective (think about it....a black away strip...)...
