Preview Round 1 2020 Vs Crows

[Keyter]

Won't happen but Hayward's position on current form should be in question imo.

 

[Syd]

what is the purpose of the 16.5min quarters?

I would presume to not overrun\overwork the players assuming they may play games in a closer frequency than weekly

The sceptic in me feels like its to give an extra 3.5min to ad partners to make up for the lost rounds.

Hoping we see a very different Hayward to that in the pre-season games. The club told us he'd gone ham on his training over the summer, and I'd heard from folks he finally looked like a man. But the Hayward I saw in the two pre-season games still looked to be lacking any physical presence.

Do we know what the travel arrangements are? Are we on our own Virgin flight, they have plenty of spare planes to use!

a 14 minute shorter game means the players can play more than once?

Can we turn it into 12 minute quarters and they can play a game every 20 minutes.

 

[caesar88]

I got the impression watching Rampe's "press conference" that he might not be so thrilled the season is going ahead.

 

[tombomb]

Barrett has us finishing 6th and Blakey All Australian.

His hot takes on the 2020 season are even worse than his hot takes on the 2019 trade period ... which is incredible to say the least.

Silly stuff starting a season knowing it's going to be compromised, but then again A(V)FL House has been full of compromised decisions so it's nothing new

 

[RUNVS]

It has been so long and I have completely forgotten but when are the teams announced again? For some reason 6:30pm was ringing around in my head but that could be wrong.

 

[SwansProudly]

The way they have been talking Stephens up, I feel he'll play and considering our first lot of games, we should. Personally I'd play Gould too

Stephens looks like he has been working hard in preseason

Barrett is snorting his own bathwater again. This bloke's sole function seems to be making Slobbo look like a journo.

Hello Ticky. Yep I'm fine . Bought my monthly supply of durries and a case of Irish. So the basics are all attended to.

Hope you are travelling well.

My one question is, "how much will we flog these duffers by?"

At least 86 points I imagine.

 

[caesar88]

Wow Horse has gone for speed over height. Sinclair out, guys like McInerney and Ronke in.

Like it, though not sure how Ronke keeps getting chances while doing SFA

 

[Punts]

Good

 

[caesar88]

Assuming Hewett's on new father duties as he's named as an emergency?

What about Stephens and Gould?

Very likely

If not it is insane that Hewett is an emergency.

 

[caesar88]

What about Stephens and Gould?

Not even named as emergencies. Horse went for McInerney instead it would appear.

Assuming Hewett's on new father duties as he's named as an emergency?

Was wondering.

 

[Punts]

Hewett dropped
