Opinion Non-Crows AFL 5: Save Ken

[Bearded Clam]

Who?

exactly,

they can take the monarchist Kings, Queens, princesses and princes fairytale BS over to the Politics thread..

cant believe in this day and age these relics of a bygone era are still taken seriously.

and it has nothing to do with this non crows AFL thread.

Wayne Carey was playing blackjack and his voltaren dropped out. What’s your point?

Umm if the Queen dies I'm pretty sure all sport is cancelled for 9 days. Due to mourning/ respect and all that jazz I do wonder if that includes us as she is the head of state.

We definitely get a public holiday holiday

AFL might have to think about organising a Grand Final a week after planned

The funeral is 10 days after her passing (well, D+10), which is Sunday week.

The public holiday for the funeral is expected in the UK, though technically not guaranteed (though the funeral being a Sunday probably makes this a moot point).



The funeral is slated to be on SANFL GF day (and our AFLW match against Collingwood). I’d expect both to be shifted. While sport may be suspended in the UK, I’d be surprised if we suspend sport for the next 10 days, so we could see these moved to Saturday.

Serious?

 

[George CantStandYa]

Well if it’s going to move the SANFL GF gets played the day before on the Saturday, no way would they hold it over for another week and North have 3 weeks between games

Serious?

Looks like this is going to take over our lives to a fair extent for a week or so. Now that I’m not a business, there had better be a public holiday to offset this incursion into my life. Already we’re seeing online news inundated with stories. Surely the one about her hidden wealth didn’t need to await her demise.

I get the outcry and stories but delaying sport for a week, utter madness.

Not a chance

Its sport in the UK. It wont affect AFL. It is in terms of showing respect for the Queen. However, due to contracts in the modern era, I am not sure its possible. Too much money exists in sport for it to be sitting still.

 

[GROTTO]

There will be a minute's silence for this weeks finals game and probably next week as well, the mourning period is 10 days.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

Not a chance

I expect that to be the case in the UK, but not anywhere else surely

When Diana had died, was that Final series pushed back by one day?

 

[Dirty Bird]

When Diana had died, was that Final series pushed back by one day?

Just checked - No Friday Night game, and 3 games on the Sunday, and only 1 game on the Saturday afternoon (to allow the funeral to be shown that night)

Thanks I thought as much, obviously a long time ago.

Our game vs West Coast was

Our game vs West Coast was

On the Sunday.

UK will be impacted - we won’t be. If the funeral is Sunday (UK time), sport will still be able to be played Sunday 18th as 6.00pm our time would be 10.30am (UK time).

Just reschedule things a bit earlier.

I was at that game, definitely remember the weather being overcast. While we won, it wasnt a spectacular game to watch.

Yes the first of our two premierships. I always Blighty remember quoting in the second half of the GF we scored 14 goals straight. The only point scored was rushed.

Will I see another one? Serious doubt at this point.

Shhh. Don't jinx it.

Diana wasn't the reigning Head of State when she died.

FWIW, I can't see sport in Australia being majorly affected by her death. I expect there will be a minute's silence before the start of games, but no cancellations.

I never said she was.

However, Finals games in 1997 were pushed back a day. So yes it did effect the finals round that year.

Jarrod is a scumbag using the queens ill health to make some stupid point.

He’ll probably cry on insta about it later and blame mental health again
