No one wants to make the decision. Cowardice from Dillon, looking for an excuse to appease the broadcasters.

He's such a gutless worm

Few injuries at the Suns, Flanders not playing. Jepson might be a chance.

If Jepson plays, surely we're calling him George

 

[Lord De Goey]

you're telling me theres a chance....

 

[gutsroy]

Want to see him agubst real oppo. Could start the season well if JDG and Titch miss the first month or two.

Trouble is he has never averaged 100+ in any season. 99 is the max.

Thanks, fellas, good to get some viewpoints on Short and PerrymanUp in the air on both, in particular Perryman.

 

[LegendLewis]

Hey would anyone have the cba's from the rich v Coll practice match?
Thanks in advance

Broadcast deal with $4.5 billion is definitely a big factor.
Opening match of the season is a huge deal and sure the game should be postponed if there's even the slightest chance of safety issues.

But you don't make a decision like that lightly.

All for the AFL to take their time and get it right, I think they'll come to the conclusion to postpone, but they need to come to an agreement with all parties which can take time.

How many people will watch a game of water polo ?

We need some Sydney folks doing rain dances and cancel the whole r0.

Broadcast deal is worth a huge sum yes.
I bet the fat cats responsible for that deal couldn't give a shit about a player defending his home. They'd rather see him defending against a goal.

 

[Jiska]

It should be taken out of the AFL's hands. If there is a stay at home advice by the government, then all public events should be cancelled. The AFL shouldn't have a say.

Pandemic style?

 

[Jiska]

This bloke is the worst ceo we’ve had by a mile.

Low bar

I was living up in Brisbane last time it flooded. A bunch of deaths came from folks walking in flood water and not seeing man holes the flood water had washed away.
One wrong step and you die in a sewer. If the streets are 1 foot under water they can't have 60k fans walking in it.
Wooloongabba is flood prone also.

I think they do care, but they also care about their business and want to be compensated if they're giving up the opening game of the season with nothing in return.

I don't mean to sound like a corporate monkey, but there's a lot of factors at play.

Your right mate.
Your not saying they won't call it off. Just that the decision may take a day or 2. Completely reasonable. I reckon any geelong fans planning to fly into a cyclone for a football game are probably due a Darwin award.

 

[Jiska]

This is legitimately a ****ing joke. How the **** did our game get to this point? It’s a once off.

I mean who could have foreseen when the television rights to our national sport were sold off to a Russian oligarch and his Saudi backers the rest of us would get shafted at some point.

 

[gutsroy]

Scoops was pondering a cheeky little season opener for Rd 0/1, will put the tiger back in the cage

 

[gutsroy]

Shift Brissie Catters ti Rd 3.
Anything else is ****ing stupidity.

 

[SC fish]

Shift the game to Mount Barker is the obvious answer, it's dry-as up here

 

[Agents of SHIEL]

Either this or Carly Rae.

 

[SavDog23]

SuperCoach HQ should give every player 10 extra trades to deal with the cyclone.
