Preview Round 20: Essendon vs Sydney, MCG, Sunday 01/08/2021, 3:10 PM

Sorry mate that's gone right over my head.

positive covid cases. Sorry, bad pun.

 

[sameolds33]

In hindsight they should've hubbed Essendon, Sydney and GWS in Canberra when they had the chance. Allows the Sydney teams to see their families and the ACT has had no covid cases for agesssss.

But because of proximity to Sydney a number of state borders closed to ACT

We are scheduled for friday night next week as well vs Bulldogs, so if we play tomorrow it would be our second 5 days break for the year.

So either the AFLPA let it slide (precedent say they wont) or we lost the Friday night slot and will be rescheduled, which would means being screwed by the AFL yet again.

I want them to just play it tonight in Melb. 3-hour flight, bang done.

Game is scheduled for 7.40pm, so to land at 6pm and play an hour and a half later is probably too big of a logistical ask for both the clubs amd the broadcasters

Would just be nice for the AFL to acknowledge that we’ve been ****ed around more than most and deserve some fixture advantages next season to reward our accommodating CEO…

Surely we don’t send us back to QLD in a couple of weeks

Yeah I know all that, I was just looking forward to the game tonight. Hopefully tomorrow.

Postponed until 8.30pm, tomorrow, or next month..?

That's all they have at the moment, although it's a 3 day lockdown atm I think.

 

[maskmcgee]

Their families couldn't get into Melbourne because Vic borders were closed.

Well they could either suck it up or just forefit the season for those 2 clubs

I'd rather get thrashed by the Bulldogs in a graveyard slot than on Friday night

 

[The Prosecutor]

3:10pm apparently.

I would expect that they come to Melbourne with the players

 

[Lore]

Interesting

Aren’t they still in quarantine?

 

[Lore]

Aren’t they still in quarantine?

Someone said they got out of quarantine a couple of days ago

Who actually confirmed that's the reason we went North? Seems silly we didn't take our families with us then.
