It’ll be interesting with no crowd, the umpiring shouldn’t be so one sided as per the norm.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Still expect the eagles to win well but hope the demons improve

AFL might appoint an all Western Australian umpiring group?

Wouldnt be the worst idea in the world - appoint only local umps for matches and minimise their risk of spreading/ catching corona.

What if it is? Do people expect all games to have equal free kicks now?

Anyway, regarding the game I tip West coast. Nic Nat vs Gawn will be a good battle and excited to see what Kelly brings to the game.

Crossing my fingers that the game goes ahead as planned.

 

[Dez!]

Quietly optimistic about this game, absolutely a chance to knock the Eagles off.

 

[ep2018]

Sunday game so no guarantee it goes ahead unfortunately. Something might happen on fri/sat that suspends the comp.

Melbourne I suspect have improved massively and it'll be a tough close game but I cant shake the feeling both teams will get two points.

 

[Scotland]

People still gonna complain about the boos?

 

[Power Raid]

The eagles will be way too good

Eagles by 37



If not, then we know the cost of losing the boo

Yep I'm worried a player in the Bulldogs game will stub his toe and they will call the next 3 seasons off.

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

No BooZ yA LoOZ.

 

[Corkintheocean]

Apt that Melbourne kick off their season at Optus in front of no souls...

Given they are still haunted by that 2018 Prelim performance.

 

[Andy_Mac]

After a nightmare 2019 is behind us and off the back a solid pre-season and praccy match form the Dees should get it done by 20 odd points.

 

[parano1a]

The start time of this game has been changed to 6.40pm AEDT, which is 3.40pm Perth time.

Did you lose 17 games last year because umps were against you?

How about you just accept that if you lose, you weren't good enough rather than the age old blaming umpires....

It was a joke response to a post about the impact of no crowd on the umpires. Margetts would probably hear them in his head anyway, but not doing this game. Dalgleish might also hear them.

Or maybe they just call it like they see it and they pay free kicks that are there?

 

[schmuttt]

Feel the result depends on if Margetts is umpiring or not.

 

[Demonic Ascent]

Will the umps still cheat for west coast even without the crowd to egg them on?

Probably

Already coming up with excuses....

BOOOOOOO!!!

Silence of affirmation (no doubt).

 

[Farang83150]

vic supporters whinging about umpiring.. equal doses of ignorant and funny

So true, whinney little bitches...

 

[Brunswick Trap King]

I don't think so. Melbourne are a bottom 4 side.
