That’s awesome

George Hewett probably missed his kid’s first steps.

Is this game still going ahead? Can they play during lockdown in Melbourne?

Apologies if this has been answered earlier. I can’t be bothered trawling through the thread.

Professional football is considered “essential”.

God help us !

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Sorry I didn’t mean to put a downer on that beautiful video. I just noticed Hewett’s kid is at that gorgeous just walking stage.

 

[lazy77]

God help us !

What's this about? Was my question that weird? I guess I'm a bit out of the loop.

Very weird , because if you follow footy or us it's common knowledge .

Go easy, Bedders. He might be from nsw or overseas.

Yeah, I was busy this week, so I neglected the board. Plus I live in NSW, where it's very easy to miss AFL news.

Oi!

Stay with our own spec in Ticky she is up to date with all swans news , we are all busy , but Bloods come first

 

[BruceFromBalnarring]

Oi!

I wasn’t being critical. This time. It just might not be obvious.

GWS winning a week too late

Professional football is considered “essential”.

Unironically can see justification (outside of the financials).

Wearing rose tinted glasses, people need the routine of weekend sports, even if viewing. People look forward to it, subconsxious soothe as if the footy is on then everything is ok and not too bad.

May be grasping at straws but can be a psychological boost - especially right now for a lot of people.

Absolutely.

Oh so can I. It gives us something to be interested in.

The counter argument is that if you’re going to be so draconian on the general public….well…..

But I don’t want to derail the thread. I’m s**t scared of Ticky009 . She’s handy with a wooden spoon!

What a dumb perspective.

Huge mental health boost for the population, keeps hundreds of people working (gotta look past just the players ffs) rather than effectively losing their jobs, and is not a risk to the population due to strict testing methods.

Some people are seriously sooking it up because they have to sit on their fat ass on their couch and are crying because footballers have to be shuttled from one state to the other at short notice, tested, kept away from their families, to provide them with entertainment? ******* pathetic.

GWS winning a week too late

Well if we win our games and can make up about 10% and Melbourne beat Geelong in the last round, maybe we take Geelong's spot.

That Hawthorn loss was really 8pts.

4 points for the loss
4 points for the 5% we lost.

 

[lazy77]

Losing to both GC and Hawthorn by 40 points is insane. You could write off either one as an aberration, but both of them is just inexplicable. It seems weirder than ever now that we've shown we're one of the very best in the league.

We almost deserve to miss out on top 4 because of those 2 games. They were inexcusable performances.

Our Achilles heel those two - one for each foot
