Preview Changes: R19 vs The Port Western Hawkdog Power

[pjcrows]

Yep. Imagine how good something more like a National comp would be.

My dream of the AFL folding resulting in a mogul-owned 12-14 team national competition will never happen unfortunately.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Can't believe there is no discussion about bringing the bye forward for this week, the reassessing for next week.
Seems like Silvers has stopped the AFL from making us lose $500k from a home showdown with a crowd. We're off to vic. Good.

That’s been my dream too. Some eccentric billionaire buys up the whole thing and runs an actual fair comp.

 

[GameofSloanes]

This is in place of travelling to Ballarat to play the Bulldogs. I can't imagine that would be an easier task than port at home with an empty stadium.

No reason we couldn't play the bulldogs in Ballarat this week now. Instead we are playing a home game over there vs Hawks for a reason that is unclear.

The fact that they haven't brought the pre-finals bye forward to give themselves time shows how the TV rights alone are basically holding the competition together with sticky tape. Absolutely dire.

And gambling.

So we're going to Melbourne. Probably Crows v Hawks at the G or Marvel.

Tasty opportunity for Pick 2.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Can't see us playing the home showdown here in a couple of weeks regardless. Be lucky to get another home game for the season as there will be a 14 day quarantine if we come back to SA
On the bright side, pick 1 just became more likely

Push for the G. Be a good opportunity for the kids to play there

No, the smart move is to play games whilst you can, even if at neutral venues with empty stadiums. Weekend after this there might not be a state in the country that will allow the game to go ahead at all.

Why couldn’t we get the MCG?

has been told to isolate after visiting what has now been marked as a covid hotspot, so he now misses the next Saints game.

What a dog's breakfast, now Rowan Marshall has been told to isolate after visiting what has now been marked as a covid hotspot, so he now misses the next Saints game.

But he played last week? What about the other players? Such a farce

Obviously after that game.

 

[jackster83]

Lol, it's turned into a bigger shitshow than last year.

Think you'll see a few more teams just start going through the motions for the rest of the season.

And this is what the players and staff are heading into...

DHS data obtained by the Herald Sun shows a postcode breakdown of how widespread the active cases, primary close contact are red zone permits are:

— 84 active cases spread across 36 postcodes.

— Exposure sites stretch across 53 postcodes.

— 377 postcodes have primary close contacts in quarantine.

— 569 postcodes have people who are quarantine after returning from a red zone.

Chief health officer Prof Brett Sutton said there were many things that led to Victoria’s week-long lockdown extension, but the widespread number of primary close contacts was challenging.

“To have 18,000 contacts, close contacts of just 85 cases, to have them spread across the entire state, to have this thing go from the centre of Melbourne at the MCG to Ballan, Bacchus Marsh, South Barwon, Mildura and so many places in between shows you how fast it moves and how challenging this is,” Prof Sutton said.

“This outbreak has touched the whole state and that was in a way that the Delta outbreaks didn’t do back in May and June.”

There's an argument this season is more compromised than last. At least last year a bulk of teams were in hubs for periods of time that were known. This year teams are being told less than 24 hours in advance of their game time, and the opponent changes multiple times over a few days. Teams losing key players, sometimes an hour before matches, and it'll likely get worse.

Our oppo team analysts must be pulling their hair out especially with any oppo video footage they like to show the team in the lead up to their games

The true circus is the politicians

We have been living with Covid for 18mths and still no one national standard on quarantine practices, border control and rolling out restrictions

FFS Govt still believe they can control n airborne virus in a ******* hotel, hotels were not designed to be quarantine facilities

And how about all form of Govt coming together to form one code of practice in how we best manage life with covid and associate risk.

But no... they are to busy firing shots at each other, rather than working together to develop better practice

The true circus is Govt, all other industries are scrambling to survive

And for you ScoMo, you had one ******* job.... buy enough vaccines so we could get ahead of the game..... this is a ******* race

Rant over hahahaha

You are totally correct. Can you also play small forward? Perhaps a spot for your talents.

Wow... just WOW.

At least we appear to be getting a strong look at pick 2.

 

[Shaunbkk]

They saved lives, all the countries that had low numbers of covid have low vaccination rates (we are ahead of NZ as a %), because (rightly) the vaccines have been prioritised to countries where people were dying.
The constitution requires states to control health and the federal government national borders, that is why there isn't a consistent approach
You could certainly argue that the hotel quarantine system should have been changed to dedicated sites, but that would cost billions and no other country did it either
Would you rather be somewhere where 10's of thousands of people have died or you have a 7 day lockdown? Get some perspective
Anyway this should be in the politics thread

Wrong. I live overseas and proper q facilities were used or built cheaply. Australia is last in that respect. If it cost even 1billion..unlikely... They would have saved billions in the economy
