Marshall Dead.

Surely we are almost at a point where anyone who played with or against him or Dunkley (so Saints, Port, Bulldogs and Gold Coast) are considered high risk? Then what happens?

Not to mention the GWS and Sydney players on the same flight as those who have to quarantine?

As much as I'd like to beat up Adelaide again for Boak's 300th surely it is time to pause the season.

The fact this would help my supercoach is only partially the reason I say this. 😉
 
Port and Crows flying east after on-again-off-again drama, Saint Marshall out after exposure site visit

It emerged at lunchtime on Tuesday that the Power and the Crows would head to Melbourne for their round 19 matches in order to beat lockdown in South Australia, with their home state having stricter training restrictions than in Victoria.

However, a few hours later both clubs - bags packed and ready to board flights to Victoria - were told they were staying put. After more waiting and the possibility of the round 21 Showdown being brought forward, this advice was flipped and staff and players were told they indeed would be heading to Victoria.

Under the current round 19 fixture, Port Adelaide are scheduled to host Collingwood at Adelaide Oval on Friday night and Adelaide are scheduled to host Hawthorn at the same venue on Saturday, but both matches are now slated for Marvel Stadium.

So does anyone know why the Tigers v Lions game last week was moved to Qld?

So lets get this straight.

You move 2 teams in one state which is in lockdown to another state that is in lockdown

Makes no sense whatsoever.
Actually it does. All teams can play each other in VIC, albeit at empty grounds. Can't cross State borders though.
 
Five games on a Saturday with everyone stuck at home and we’ve got clashes everywhere and nothing until 1:45pm. What’s wrong with 9:35, 12:05, 2:45, 5:20, 7:50? Bacon and Eggs at the 10:45am half time break.
 
They’ve done it again. Five games today but somehow after waiting until 1:45pm for a game we now have a 20 minute wait with the second game starting when the third quarter kicks off. Clever.
Annnnnnnnnnnd another 20 minute wait with the third game starting when the third quarter of the Q clash starts. Brilliant.

Sounds a bit of a tough fixture for the Crows .....having to backup for a 2nd match on Saturday .....lets hope that sensibilities prevail and the 2nd match is in the same state, and not interstate

West Coast are so boring they aren't even playing this week!
