Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

Don't get me wrong, I think the Government hasn't been tough enough.
All I was saying was the USA was worse than us.
PS: Those Chines students have been isolating for 14 days before they got here.

They don't have a choice do they?
Shut the roof and you can only have 100 there.

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R1 2020
Haven't we already got a corona virus thread?
Can we please try and stick to discussing tonight's game and not what the US is doing or move those discussions to the appropriate thread
Thanks

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R1 2020
Im excited to see what we dish up tonight - it will be intriguing to see and hear us - it was different last night with no crowd but its still bloody exciting to see what we dish up - Ive bought some expensive beer to mark the occasion.
It does look a top heavy team on paper - but I'll reserve judgment until we see how it performs. I am glad to see Lewis Young in the team as Id say he's had a pretty solid summer and pre season. I hope his confidence and contribution will grow over the season.
Shame Patty Lipinski is unavailable - hes been such a consistent performer early stages and is good with the ball in hand. Im a fan.
Richards and McLean are a little unlucky but have had their fitness and form issues - but I do think both are in the 22 at their best.
Delighted with what Ive seen from Bailey Williams pre season - has been very good and really adds to the backline mix.
And in my time following the dogs we havent had too many key forwards as exciting as Naughton, nor as accomplished as Bruce - so thats tantalising

We had a jump of 160 to now be on 765. We should have been tougher a few weeks ago, especially with our borders.
yeah agree....

I hope we keep an eye on the weather and drop a tall if it's going to be wet.

Re: WB Game Day V Collingwood R1 2020
Gavin Brown and family have been allowed to attend tonight to watch Tyler debut - I hope Cavarra's family have been extended the same opportunity, according to this they should:
The League has set strict guidelines on who is able to attend the games in the wake of the pandemic, with the AFL confirming media, officials, each club's chairperson, chief executive and immediate family of debutants will be allowed to enter the closed games.

Thanks Jane Bunn, but the BOM don't agree with you.
The app also tells me a 20% chance between 8pm and 11pm. A small chance and probably nothing significant, but not "no chance".
