Discussion Remaining Fixture

[The Cavalry]

As an SA fan am thrilled to hopefully get a shot to watch the games live. (Not that keen on monday night scheduling but oh well). Got the email from the club yesterday and the AFL/Crows have "graciously" allocated saints members 250 seats......now I am aware that there may not be a lot of saints members based in SA, but for those people who have paid/pledged memberships to their clubs as I have,for the away team to only be allocated 1% of reserved seating total capacity is incredibly poor. I am not sure what the % split is with crows members and GA but just believe to only be allocated 1% is ridiculous. Surely this % is incredibly small!

What the? Will we stay in Adelaide?

we are staying in Adelaide for the year as punishment for our game against fremantle

 

[Saintos The ITK]

If we lose against Adelaide then Port will have to be very worried coming up against a rampant Saints side seething from an embarrassing loss.

Get in touch with the membership team, I would think. They are generally pretty good at replying.

 

[PoppedCorn]

For sure
Theyve always been pretty good for tickets for me in SA and ViC

At least i get to see them so shouldnt complain too much

Get a pantsing and i will tho.....

 

[ULTIMATE_WARRIOR]

That would be West Coast, at Optus, with 60,000 WCE fans in the stands, as a "home" game, yes?

Was thinking more wherever we’re based later in the Season, but who knows with the AFL, would not shock me

 

[XhazzafootyX]

It appears as will head back to noose inbetween the Adelaide and Power game.

 

[Verdun]

Just read we are staying in Noosa, this seems the clubs call not the AFL.

Hope it is the right decision, now it is made we need to own it and improve.

Don't like our chances in the Port game either way but it seems a big ask.

Maybe we just send our seconds over...

The remaining fixture (season) ............................................................ will last for about 4 more weeks at most.

What do you mean

What do you mean

Outbreaks spreading - if it keeps increasing you'd expect that SA, WA and Qld to fully ban all interstate travel within the next couple of weeks. That would mean players would have to remain in hubs for the next 3 to 4 months. That won't happen.

"Queensland has banned residents from two Sydney hotspots and South Australia will not reopen its border with NSW and the ACT as the Crossroads Hotel outbreak grows."

I also hear the AFL are trying to get a hub up in FNQ. Which would defiantly benefit us if we are still in Noosa

 

[One 2 Roo]

Talk today here in QLD of more clubs relocating and hubbing here for an additional 8 weeks.

Noosa could be our home for the remainder of the season.

Noosa is almost as close to Melbourne as it is to Cairns.

Noosa is almost as close to Melbourne as it is to Cairns.

Still better to start half way there.

 

[gringo2011]

If the AFL decide to play games off 4 day breaks, sides like St Kilda with a strong youth contingent might be the most resilient. Sides like Geelong who have a lot the wrong side of 30 might find it hardest to get up. We also have a strong reserves side with players like Savage etc all best 22 last year.

It's a shame we dropped those 2 games that we should have won. It might cost us a real chance at a good finals berth.

 

[puppy_dog7]

AFL all but guaranteeing now that there will be no more games in Vic for the remainder of the season. Hopefully this is the start of finally turning around this poor record outside of Victoria. Otherwise, were in for another disappointing season.

Also, have to feel sorry for players with young families that will basically be asked to spend months away from home now. Let's see all the Perth and Adelaide teams complain now.

Makes this weeks game very important.

Most important game we've played for some time.

If we lose, it's season over

 

[bird_man]

Don't mind the idea of the extended bench.

It gives a few guys a bit of an opportunity.

I don’t feel sorry for players with young families at all - they have jobs - when this is all sad and done some people will be rock bottom
