The "fix" ture - will North cop the double barrel?

[SpiderBurton22]

So looks like we'll play Richmond, *, Carlton and both the Queensland teams in our hub stay.

 

[Only Forwards]

Those who adapt the best win.

It's going to be that simple.

We want to live our identity, nows the time.

As a collective and club, agree.

However, there are going to be individuals that might not be able to meet the requirements for a range of reasons.

I am going to be mighty pissed if people want to throw players who can not move under the bus, especially when no one outside of the club will know the circumstances.

Rd 6 & 7 fixtures for North.
Rd 6 Sat, July 11 Essendon v North, Metricon, 7.40pm
Rd 7 Sat July 18 Tigers v North, Metricon, 7.40pm

It'll be part of what we need to adapt to.

Those that can go go.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Metricon at night isn't great for us, right? If I recall we tend to struggle in those conditions.

 

[Rod Stroker]

So we've gone from Richmond and Adelaide at Marvel, to Richmond and * at Metricon. That sucks.

Those last 2 losses at home now hurt more.

 

[Marstermind]

Time to cancel the season. Its a matter of time before one player tests positive out of those 6 clubs. It will be very hard to get every team to play each other once.

Group teams into a few hubs and have a knockout competition. Award the winner the "night premiership" but don't give a day premiership this year.

Not yet, but I can see it happening. As soon as a positive happens within a hub, then I reckons she's just about done.

Surprised the AFL are sticking with the 'Round' structure - maybe that's changing after Round 7. I'd be looking at condensing the year - putting on whatever game you can, where you can with some teams having 4 days breaks, others not playing for 10-11 days. It doesn't matter that all sides have played the same amount of games come every Sunday night. Play games through the week. Just get the season done ASAP. Fixture integrity and fairness are out the window (probably never were inside the window). IF they get to the end with a premiership team it won't have a * next to it on paper, but it will be an anomaly.

There are some on here that are stating that if they don't go, delist/trade.

Intelligence is a bell curve.

Don't bite for the ones in the lower end.

* shouldn't hold any fears. And I reckon if Richmond lose this week, they'll be wanting to be in a hub like a hole in the head. But yeah - should have beaten to 'non-Marvel' teams at Marvel when we had the chance.

 

[The Nostradamus]

Bombers will get Merrett back next week against us

 

[sbdan]

I was hoping that they might play a couple games in Cairns as part of the Queensland hub.

The Roos love it up here.





Good times

ABC Hobart reporting that Saints, North, Essendon, Bulldogs, Richmond and Carlton will relocate to Qld for the remainder of the AFL season ........ that cant be right.

I thought they were talking 5 weeks

[Cyber_punk]

So we're off to the Gold Coast then......

I don't think it's ironic, but it's..something

Did Tassie not want clubs or?

There are little bits bubblling here and there, but let's just wait and see re Tassie.

 

[Twinkletoes]

They want crowds if and when they do host games so the most likely scenario would be them hosting a hub later in the season punk.

 

[giantroo]

Tassie aren't opening their doors until July 24. Hopefully we'll get a hub sometime in August-September.

 

[remfan101]

When was the last time we had 3 Saturday night free-to-air games in a row? Players will be allowed to train together properly as well. I reckon it can only be a good thing for us if we approach it with the right attitude, particularly seeing as Richmond have already started complaining...

 

[Billy Not Really]

Sending us to the Gold Coast is surely a sick joke from the AFL.

Hopefully the conditions favor us, for the fans its a good thing cos we get good timeslots on TV and perhaps people can actually ******* attend games soon.
