    Plus they've brought in Ben Brown and THEBIGBULLJACKVINEY so they're a lot further off full strength than when we played them last time.

    Heard ON THE COUCH last night that Salem has gone from one of the best defenders earlier in the year to be ranked 62nd now.

    The other positive is we couldn't possibly have as bad a first quarter as we did last time....could we?

    We'll know within the first 20 seconds if last time was anything to go by!
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    I'm hoping Viney continues to get sucked into every contest possible.

    The turnovers in that first quarter were horrendous, leading to the first four goals and the difference for the night.

    Makes perfect sense the flee the state with 5 cases for the one with near 100. The lack of consistency across the various State Government rules is crazy.

    SA government obviously weren't going to give the AFL any exemptions to let Pies/Hawks into the state, so the AFL with its bulldozer policy are just like '*!*!*!*! it, let's play them in Victoria'

    HGA or even a hint of competition integrity is obviously no concern for the AFL now.

    The AFL are making it up as they go... changing the order of games is ridiculous given the planning clubs would've done in managing player game times, etc. and the advantages that come from finishing positions at the end of the H&A season.

    We shouldn't be playing Melbourne this weekend.. Understand the clubs position, but hopefully they're making their feelings known.

    The fact that the Crows and Power weren't allowed to train, even before they announced the lockdown forced their hand too I would think.

    AFL pulled the trigger way too fast on this round.

    Don't worry, I just caught the press conference from the new AFL general manager of football operations and I am convinced.
