Preview RND 1 - Carlton v Richmond Thursday 19th March 7.40pm (EST) @ MCG

[Waite_30]

What happens if a Carlton or Richmond player playing tomorrow night gets tested positive 2 days after the game?

Shocking call by the AFL.

You can fu** off at 3 quarter time to beat the crowd.

Crippa might go forward and Setters in the guts .

If we take Cripps out of the middle, I don't think we'll be able to complete with Richmond's mids.

Casboult, McGovern and JSOS provide enough marking power.

Honestly, i come into contact with more People at work on a daily basis being a service Tradie. These blokes are under 24/7 monitoring atm

So out of the squad who aren’t injured are Stocker,Kennedy,TDK, who would be considered next in line but interestingly Philip named as emergency.

Only one of those provides marking power.

I actually have very little interest in this game at the moment. When you consider there are so many people out there who are doing it tough for a variety of reasons, the AFL continue to do whatever the * they like.

Even the US Masters have postponed one of the biggest sporting events on the planet.

* you Gil and your cronies on the commission.

Feel the same brother ... at best it’s gonna be a diluted manipulated season the result of which will most likely mean little ... either delay it until it can be played properly or let it go ...

Do you tackle, sweat on, rub against one another's cuts and abrasions?

Was my first though (just posted something similar in the COVID thread).
Will they just back-pedal tomorrow afternoon?

 

[RAPPA]

Never felt so underwhelmed leading into a season, and that includes the Pagan dark days. It just makes no sense (other than the financial incentives for the AFL) to let this continue as a day to day proposition. The year is a write off

I replied to the post that said " when Levi gives tractor a spell in the ruck " . Crippa can go be oo reward and Setters can chop out in the guts..

 

[BoundbyKreuze]

I’ll tell you who hates that footy is happening. ******* “the Ian Prender-Cast” they are so bloody negative I’m just about ready to never Listen again

 

[norway blue]

Not a bad line up, all things considered

Yeah lance I like it also. As another poster said. First dibs.

Sadly we will get smashed as we have minimal scoring power. Not much class forward of centre. We will no doubt work extremely hard but fail to convert and then get blasted late like in the recent game against Brisbane.

Good question. Will everybody who's involved with the match get tested (with results) beforehand ?

I thought there was meant to be a shortage of testing kits ?

 

[norway blue]

Team looks alright, forward line looks thin.

Think that Williamson is going to end up in the team sooner rather than later.

Going to be a lot of unknown about how we go. Three big names out of the forward line is always going to impact a team.

Going to come down to a bit of grit and determination and above and beyond effort.

Yeah willo is a must in the backline. Get back fella.

Struggling to get amped for this. Maybe when the ball is bounced I'll start getting excited.

I work in hospitals, nursing homes, schools, dirty apartment blocks. Cut my hands up, touching others property, in their rooms, bathrooms, kitchens. You tell me who would be more exposed to it?

 

[Bobmonkey]

The AFL are a complete joke. If its good enough for other comps around the world to postpone, then its good enough for the AFL. Gil has gotten this completely wrong.

A lot of international sports have a lot more money in reserve than the AFL.
This decision was made out of necessity not a desire to see people be infected etc.

 

[Red Bull]

16 minute tackle fests
Be careful what you wish for ...

 

[Weiterbot23]

I really dislike the decision to pick Newnes

I don't see any weapons and he looks shakey and makes poor decisions

Then your risk is the same as the players

Don't get this view at all. They are working within the government guidelines.

COVID-19 is not a superbug and these players are being tested regularly. The danger comes from scale.

400 fit young humans playing football will change nothing other than lifting community morale.
