      We can still have another bye round later in the season if the players really need it. The Grand Final this year is 25 September which is quite early for recent times. No reason we can't have a 2nd October Grand Final.
      There’s a bye after 22 games. So ten games to now. 12 games to they bye. Pretty much perfect.

      As Mof says, it will give Timmy and a few others the chance to get into the team for a vital game. Not the worst outcome.

        Can I use this thread to just do virtual screaming? FFS

          Then a bye round is the absolute best solution now.

            Not the worst at all. Although I'm not exactly a fan of vs Freo in Perth, then vs Cats in Geelong followed by vs West Coast in Perth again. That is absolutely brutal. I feel things needs a bit of a shuffle there.

              More North & Saints games instead?

                Maybe all of these games get played with no crowds, or even at neutral venues. Maybe this is actually incredible timing for us?

                  Given they're all out of Melbourne I doubt it.

                  Actually I can see our Eagles and Cats games getting swapped so we end up staying in Perth for 2 weeks to play the dockers and eagles back to back.

                    My thoughts are with all Woofers in Melbourne right now. Take care and hopefully out of this scenario as soon as possible.

                      The only thing that would make me feel better is if we win at Marvel tomorrow night, then play all of Freo, West Coast and Geelong at neutral venues throughout NSW/QLD before returning to Victoria to resume the season.

                      Get it done, Dan Andrews.

                        Now in doubt, Melbourne player has visited an exposure site. Game could be off

                          I’ll take that. If it’s only 7 days, either a full bye round or re stagger the byes a bit earlier. Let’s not jump too far ahead unless the presser at 11 gives context that’s worse than the numbers.

                            agree.

                            they are talking playing the Richmond game tomorrow night
