He's training with the main group and won't be back until the last game though.
lots of hints that they won’t play him this year from the coach. I guess an injury could change that.
| PLAYER | INJURY | ESTIMATED RETURN TIME |
| Reece Conca | Hamstring | Test |
| Brett Bewley | Groin | Test |
| Griffin Logue | Toe | Test |
| Sam Switkowski | Hamstring | Season |
| Sam Sturt | Ankle | Season |
| Hayden Young | Ankle | Season |
| Joel Hamling | Ankle | Season |
| Darcy Tucker | Hamstring | Season |
| Alex Pearce | Ankle | Season |
So out of 9 on the injury list, 6 are recurrent.
Bewley was a pre-injury pull out too

Who is the guy on the right under Pearce's armpit?
He's part of the fitness staff
AFLPA will be strongly against another full season hub. AFL will want to try and return to normality and put it in March and have GF in September.
Teams already had 2 months off.
I don’t think the AFL or the AFLPA will have much say in it

Its really solely dependent on Victoria isn't it.
I'd imagine by March every other state will be able to freely travel in and out, however if the central hub to this league is not available then its a diabolical disaster again.

And what of preseason? Are we still going to be restricted from full training because the Vic clubs won't be able to train in groups larger than 10?
The non-Vic clubs should be able to do as they please during preseason, tell the Vic clubs if they want to train in full numbers they'll have to do a training camp in one of the other states.

Probably not selecting Logue and lots of hints by the coach that he wont be playing. I think his only chance of selection would be in the event of Cox pulling out (I thought of changing that bit but the child in me laughed).
Even then, I reckon Dixon is probably an equal chance.

Is anyone else dubious of a sellout GF at the Gabba? I been watching last several weeks games there, and there not even remotely close to a half stadium
Pretty sure they're been using the fake crowd sound effects too. I know the AFL will do whatever they can to get bums on seats to save face and not have to defend their decision for Qld but gee whizz I'm dubious

You're probably right. It's gonna be interesting to see what happens before pre-season resumes. With players out of their club bubbles and mixing within the general public, you'd imagine there will be some getting Covid. At least they're not going to be travelling overseas this year. Bali will be a pretty chill place this summer, sans the footy players.
Less travelling = more quality rehab time? We should be best 22 by season start next year.

Every player gets a couple of tickets to the grand final that most of them hand back to the club for a payment, then the club on sell that ticket again to someone else for $1500.
...but now all the players are in the state already. Nearly 700 of them. Along with the AFL personnel that will be a tenth of the stadium already filled - before they start selling their breakfast function tickets.
Can’t see the full time hub being positive in any way. It’s mentally draining particularly on those clubs not even in finals. Unless they do month long hubs in WA then fly back, looking at possibly resuming AFL in May/June. Going to be a real interesting pre season. No one is going to get opportunities until Victoria is stable then all 18 clubs can train. That’s the AFL
Also, the players have to pay for the face value of the tickets if they want to go. Hence what you say in your first sentence. At least that's what Colin Sylvia told me when I crossed paths with him at LAX on my way to the 2013 GF (was living in the States at the time). I'm not sure how many of them will actually want to go, even if they are in the state.
