What numpty decided Carlton on a Friday night was a good idea? I am still getting over that one year where Carlton had basically half the Friday night spots and they were crap that year and each game they played in was dull as hell.

 

[sobrave]

Carlton should be banned from Friday night for the next ten years.

The AFL wanted Essendon v Sydney however the AFLPA refused to allow the players from both teams to have a 5 day break from their last game.

 

[babydoll]

With the Vic lockdown to end on Tuesday, why the fook are we still having home games in Qld? We've had 12 interstate games this year. This is a joke. Fook the AFL and our weak as p1ss management. Try to give a leg up to Sydney of course.

will be the first ever Eagle to play 300 games.

Not bad for a South Aussie that looked about 38 when he was first drafted.

Interesting the Hawks vs Lions game isn’t on Saturday with the Lions having a trip to Perth in round 21

What I got from the news is that they're not sure lockdown will end yet.

Maybe some restrictions relaxed, but not anything like opening back up to 'normal'.

Why would it matter? Not like they’ll be playing Friday night against Freo

The extra days break would help instead 2 long trips in under a week takes a lot out of team

 

[pazza]

Once again...Essendon are forced to stay north despite lockdown lifting in Melbourne. Sick to death of the way Essendon gets treated to be honest.

Sheez, lighten up a little.

Because the lockdown is relaxed in Victoria doesn't mean Queensland will open their border to Victoria. If Swans fly to Melbourne, they can't go back to Queensland without 14 day quarantine.

You have a basic lack of understanding of state border controls and that's why you don't do the AFL programming!

 

[Toump Ass]

Why only ten? They've been trash for two decades, what makes you think they're going to turn it around now?

 

[flamethrower]

Both Essendon (v Bulldogs) and Sydney (v St Kilda) have a game in Melbourne in round 21...no reason why the Bombers can't host the Swans at Marvel this week. Sydney also fixtured at Marvel (v North Melbourne) the following week too. Essendon play at Gold Coast in round 22...that could be moved to Darwin if Queensland don't relax their rules.

Swans are set to play the Saints in Melbourne next week and Essendon set to play the Dogs in Melbourne next week. No reason why Essendon v Sydney can’t be in Melbourne this week. I sincerely hope the club is lobbying for only 2 interstate games next year as compensation

may be wrong, but think this may be the first time there’s been 2 games in Tassie on the same weekend.

In Round 14 this year there were games at both Hobart and Launceston.

[parano1a]
