Bump

[comrade]

Brisbane are now playing Collingwood at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night due to the lockdowns in QLD.

Feel sorry for lions. How different states can have different mask & aircon rules for quarantine hotels is baffling-not that Qld have confirmed root causes but guessing a link to hotel quarantine and likely weaknesses in program.

they play us the following week in Ballarat, so do they stay or can they go and come back.

On the plus for them is they get the last 4 games of season at Gabba

Might help us. Then again their coach seems like a v good coach & father figure so I reckon they will be alright if they do stay in vic until Ballarat game.

If I was them, I would arrange to accomodate in Ballarat after Thursday's game and see if they could train at the ground?

Pies on top half way through the 2nd. Pressure has Brisbane rattled.

[bornadog]

Brisbane looking down the barrel; Lose this and then they play us and they could end up 0-4

Phew. I'd much rather face a 1-2 Brisbane on the back of an after the siren goal than an 0-3 Brisbane with their backs against the wall.

Me too

It’ll be a tough game. Daniher and Hipwood could cause us some problems.

[jeemak]

Oh no, Marcus Adams has just gone off with a small cut on the chin. That'll be him out for the next month or two.

The commentators are telling me this is a great game of footy. But I don't know if it is, rather, it's been pretty hit and miss with intensity and skill with some good examples and poor examples of each.

They're certainly talking up the rule changes. Is anyone actually taking count of one on one contests versus previous year averages or are we just accepting there's more of them now?

Nah, you just give anecdotal evidence of how much better the game looks and how much more scoring there is without any real analysis while neglecting to mention that the AFL CEO’s brother works on your network broadcasts.

Some of the footskills in that game were horrendous. Still Andrews, Mcluggage, Moore and Daicos are absolute class.
