News We're A QLD Based Team Now

[Rayzorwire]

Relocating to a QLD hub for the rest of the season.

Good move, better late than never, it was the best option for a decent chance to finish the season.

Hope we can make it family friendly and all our expectant fathers are looked after.

The six AFL clubs heading to Queensland hub

I think it will be good move.

Plus a few Richmond fans there to support the club

 

[Tony Harrison]

Who is able to buy tickets/attend?

 

[DontArgue4]

At least we dont have to play norf or the dogs at marvel

 

[Ghost Patrol]

I might actually get to a game this year!

 

[gunnagunnagunna]

Brisbane is like a second G for us! Big win!

One week can't go to Qld, fixture amended.

Next week going to Qld permanently.

 

[Tiger Toffee]

I'm not in a hotspot, might travel up to watch some games and hit some pubs.

Hire a car, drive to Tweed Heads, under the cover of darkness walk into Coolangatta, get a mate who lives in Brissy to pick me up and away i go, undetected.

I'd rather this happen sooner rather than later. Jack, Cotch, Houli, Sheds and Pickett can sit out the rest of the season. Let's see what the kids can do.

Edit: I've never been disliked before so I have to justify my stance lol. This was under the assumption that families wouldn't be able to come.

 

[Muddiemoose]

Best result for us in terms of hub location

 

[DontArgue4]

So does that mean we will play GWS up there?

I'm grateful the government has worked with the AFL to come to the rescue.

Gorgeous 21C and clear blue skies here today, bit of sun on the back will do wonders for our morale if we can get the family aspect sorted.

You can walk to cooly from tweed in broad daylight without even trying to hide.
Cops are waving through cars with their printed A4 permission slip without checking all the time.
The cops don't care, they don't want to be border guards.

is it really the whole rest of the season? don't mind that overall but expecting a handful of players to say no and I don't blame em

 

[Rayzorwire]

50% attendance allowed currently and hopefully full capacity very soon.

Bit of luck we can start getting some attendance revenue happening again!

 

[Ghost Patrol]

Any word on if they will based at Gabba or Metricon?

Yep, rest of season.

Could be a GF at the Gabba...no news on that yet AFAIK.

Edit: AFL site saying could be temporary ATM...mixed messages to other news outlets who are saying rest of season.

 

[DontArgue4]

Playing swans at the gabba next sunday and then Norf at Metricon the following saturday night

Imagine hearing that six months ago.

Haven’t lost at the Gabba since 2004

It’s indefinite, so far only two rounds, also R8 and R9 likely to be spent in hubs. After that it depends on Victoria’s situation.

Playing north at Etihad would’ve been a tough game. Stoked to be up there

 

[rfctigerarmy]

#VICBIAS going to be so good when the clubs work out how to play Brisbane at the Gabba, GCS at Metricon etc and get used to the conditions.

They'll soon realise how rediculous #VICBIAS was, where a team like Brisbane now don't get the 'disadvantage' they used to have.

Best.

Except that you've just given yourself away. May as well knock over a few ATM's on the way.
