Gabba

AFL site saying they may shift our game there this week because of Covid, sucks

26 degrees and fine. The weather up there looks perfect

 

[Spirit Level]

Oh get absolutely ****ed

Then a 70 point thrashing incoming. WWE want it to be wet. To nullify the talls they have. But even against Essendon they were dominance

we’ve asked for it

 

[Square Peg]

Makes sense to me. Just looked at the Bris fixture and they were scheduled to play four consecutive home games rounds 20-23, what sort of AFL sorcery is that? Swapping the game in round 21 to Optus will help balance their fixture as well as help us out financially
We're gunna get smashed though

 

[wayToGo_]

Don't mind it personally. Was going to be hard to get enthusiastic after yesterday anyway. Now I can cringe at the tv instead. Gives them a chance to redeem away. And don't have to piss anyone off by going to the footy on Mother's Day.

 

[Scham]

This could be JL’s first 100 point flogging.

That is only the case due to the swap we did with Collingwood in round 3. That game was meant to be at the Gabba, but Brisbane was in a Covid lockdown at the time so we stayed in Victoria and played at Marvel. Now what was meant to be their home game later in the year has been swapped to our home game. Same thing basically as what is being mooted here.

Makes sense, thanks

Profit and survival before points due to COVID, this combined with an away game to Essendon after that could put us really on the back foot and derail our season.

You're saying yesterday didn't do that already?

 

[freodog]

Immediate response, Hated it. After finding out it is a fixture switch, don’t mind it.

 

[Wilksyy]

Club needs the money so fair enough but
I will be surprised if we keep it within 50 points.

 

[Benzi10]

What's a forfeit worth in afl? 60 points loss? May as well take that option.

 

[WaywardSonSon]

Oh great, here comes another loss to ignite our spirits as supporters!

 

[Dale147]

Just waiting on the Qld Govt for the ok it appears now.

The club does know that another flogging will result in very few spectators attending the next home game, right? Our crowd attendances are already down...

2 away games in a row to 2 of the furthest places travel wise is ****ing stupid.

 

[dont bowl there]

Think the plan is to hub in QLD for a couple of weeks.

 

[Deanismyhero]

Load up on lions -12 before it’s confirmed and it’s -30

 

[Spirit Level]

No new cases, keep the game here

 

[salim malik]

No new cases, keep the game here

Hope so , 2 games in a row on the road has to many repercussions.

Can't rely on McGowan opening up the Stadium
