This is the sort of season that ends with Freo winning their first flag or Saints their second isnt it?

I'd take just the asterisk at this stage let alone the flag

People are in for a hell of a shock.

 

[WWSD]

West Coast will win the 2020 Premiership.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

One thing is for sure Essendon is well experienced in organising top ups

 

[deanc]

On the plus side I think we'll be able to exploit the incompetent people that set the odds for match totals at the TAB this weekend.
As for people saying it wont feel like a real flag. I disagree, didn't something happen early on in the 1900's or even duting the war at some point where every team made finals or something and the wooden spooner won the flag. In years to come people will only look at who won that year and add it on to that teams tally

FYI:
In 1916 Fitzroy only won 2 home and away matches and finished last in a competition reduced by the effects of World War I to four teams.

Accordingly all four teams qualified for the 'finals' and despite Fitzroy finishing bottom, they then won their next three 'finals' games to win one of the strangest VFL premierships in history.

We'll get through this.

Of course we will, this virus has a very low fatality rate for people under 60, doesn't change the fact the world was completely unprepared.

Thats all it is, we are unprepared.

s**t happens i guess

I do think the panic from people is making it worse

 

[Yippy Yi Yeo]

West Coast will win the 2020 Premiership.

what makes you say so

 

[Pykie]

Fox Sports have axed 20 journo’s tonight.

Daniel Garb one of them.

Gunna feel good watching the footy tommorow night with a beer in hand

 

[The Goon]

done half the actual work of his tenure in the last week

Poor guy is doing the best he can, but * this has shown up his deficiencies like nothing else could. He is worth nowhere near what he is being paid.

At the moment it does , the more people it infects the more chance of mutations

[Mercy Seat]

If Essendon finally win a final, will it need to have an asterix next to it?

I'm gonna say yes.

 

[WWSD]

what makes you say so

Tim Kelly adds the finishing touches. This time Naitanui and Kennedy are fit.

Richmond will struggle against the Eagles marking power around the ground should they meet in the finals in my opinion.

 

[Swanny69]

Love my footy but this is the wrong call. Gill spoke of being role models to society, if that’s the case take this thing seriously and show the community that this situation is serious.

Money before all else as per AFL standard procedures

Was also my first reaction days ago when first word came out of AFL wanting to push ahead.. however the partial or complete collapse of an economy (and there is more to an economy than just dollars) is also pretty serious...life and death serious in indirect terms. Everything we do to maintain our modern society and its structure has a trade-off eg.we could directly save thousands of lives by immediately banning cars.. All I’m sure about is that these are very difficult decisions that are being made at the moment..

 

[Joao]

I look forward to everyone bitching about the low scores with the reduced quarters.

That is almost so uncool it's cool.

 

[SBYM]

I'm just happy that we've got footy. What else am I going to do with my life if footy gets cancelled?

We can just enjoy Liverpool breaking the 30 year drought.

 

[SBYM]

Sounds like we have been saved from a drubbing. All hail our saviour!

You're in trouble now.

 

[giggler99]

I look forward to everyone bitching about the low scores with the reduced quarters.

It might just have the opposite effect!
Hopefully we see games with more space and flow instead of defensive slogs!

 

[compact72]

Italy on how they're dealing with Corona

Party on!!

More likely to go the other way. Less fatigue = more at the contest.

yeah maybe, One thing is for sure once a team gets a run on it'll be harder to reel back! So their might be some boring ass matches.
