I imagine it puts us 50% chance of the Thursday Night game.

Caro just said no finals in Melbourne Rd1.

Not rocket science considering Melbourne lockdown is through to September 2nd and the AFL probably want crowds

[bulldogtragic]

The issue is quarantine and how to make it fair to the players. The bye would've given all player enough time to head into the finals with something like a normal preparation.

Say we get the Thursday game. Whstever the result the 23 plus extras head straight interstate and live in a lockdown resort unable to do much until playing Thursday.

Got to be a better way.

Not ideal, but as long as it is against anyone aside Port/WC (the latter unlikely to make it) it will be the same for all teams.

Luckily the only way we can get Port in the first week is if we are the home team (if we beat them this week, Melbourne beat Geelong, and Geelong drop more % than Port).

And that match would be in Brisbane? What’s the suggestion the media are making?

Cameron misses from 30 out directly in front. Cmon footy gods.

Unfortunately the Eagles are terrible.

Yep, short lived. Bris will win this by 60+ points

What an advantage they'll have over the VIC/NSW clubs not having to be in lockdown.

Daniher is having a brilliant year. Think he just kicked a goal, so that's a goal every round.
