2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[1970crow]

Same, it was reasoning why Qld got the initial hub having the Gabba and Metricon only a short drive apart

You'd think teams returning from Perth could stop in Adelaide for a fortnight though

But we’re playing them up there. Neutrality is probably the closest they will get to fairness.

Just lucky no players from WA or SA have young families or anything like that.

What a To$$@

 

[BACCS]

SA no longer opening borders with Vic on July 20, surely we are getting a hub now the AFL know for sure they can’t fly in and out?

More likely we end up playing in a hub in NSW or Tasmania. Not sure we'll get too many games at AO now.

Our training session at Barossa was touted as a competitive advantage.

What competitive advantage is there is staying home, seeing your kids each day and sleeping in your own bed. Compared with multiple weeks away from home.


This is where any notion of the AFL penalizing a club for a supposed competitive advantage of one training session falls down.

Cochin back on the whinge train about hubs.

Typical Victorian fan response

I’m sure your not married or have kids to go home to, but I would think family is the number 1 priority,yes the AFL players get paid well,but that doesn’t mean that you cannot be wth your family. This could be 4-6 weeks away from home, sorry but I couldn’t

Only option is to call a two-week suspension of games whilst Victorian teams travel to SA/WA/QLD/NT to self isolate. Then play all games there for a month and re-assess.

Or they could just call the whole bloody thing off, which would make too much sense.

Don’t need to really. Could easily have a split round. Teams who play Thursday and Friday play against each other in hub or have a week off. Then they play Sunday which they would have completed their Quarantine period.

That's fine. Don't go then Trent. If it's that big of a problem take family leave. I'm sure, like Danger, he won't be keen to waive any of his wage though.

 

[Scorpus]

It's crazy how quickly these Victorian players sook it up when WA/SA teams are already in hubs right now just dealing with it

Vics shouldn’t be allowed to multiply, soon President Dan of Vic Province will bring in the one child policy

Just further shows how Vic Centric this whole competition is.

Completely absurd for a national comp for one state to have all the control.

Why not? What’s the difference with the WA hub? The SA clubs were promised more home games at the backend to makeup for the Queensland hubs

Shut it down now they are seriously embarrassing themselves

Eddie got on the front foot early with Collingwood and 'welcomed the plan to go to Perth and play'. No excuses

Obviously struck a private deal for his club early, they’ll get their under the table payments

Because politics. Watch them punish us for today's announcement.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

Interesting, I heard Nicola Spurrier on the radio this morning mention that there was a team of health experts from SA who were working in Melbourne to help with their efforts. I guess they don't have families either.

 

[GrommoT]

Why is there no talk of an SA hub?
They are talking Perth, Canberra, Sydney, Tassie, Darwin, Christmas Island but no SA?
What have we done?

Not bathed enough?

(I can understand that with Poo supporters)

[SaltPeter]

What announcement?

SA decision to scrap Victorian border deadline will have 'dramatic effect' on AFL

South Australia abandons its decision to open its border with Victoria to travellers on July 20 because of a spike in coronavirus cases there.

What announcement?

SA cancels border opening as virus spikes

As Victoria records daily spikes in COVID-19 cases, South Australia has pulled the pin on reopening its state borders on July 20.

this one?

 

[Samcro24]

Gotta love how this shit gets reported.

South Australia adds to AFL headaches with border news

The South Australian government has thrown another spanner in the works for the AFL after he announced teams coming into the state from Victoria would be required to isolate for 14 days.

www.espn.com.au

''SA'' has ''thrown a spanner in the works''... nooooooo, that would be the state that hasnt got it shit together, and the dopey league that couldn't see it coming.

..."prompting the idea that hubs in New South Wales, Western Australia, Tasmania or the Northern Territory might be the only viable way to continue the AFL season without compromising the integrity on the game."


Integrity?

Baa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha


What ****ing integrity?
