Annoyed I will miss the only chance I get to see us play this year.
I've got a camping trip this weekend with mates, which was meant to be last weekend, but had to be postponed.
My wife and kids will be driving to Gold Coast instead to cheer the boys on.

Dogs by 30 points

Looks like we are heading up to Queensland this morning to avoid any potential border issues. Thankfully the VFL team play up there as well so we can just take the whole squad.

I don't think we'll be seeing them for a while.

Constantly changing situation, the whole squad didn't travel after all:

9.15 AM — DOGS-SUNS VFL GAME CALLED OFF

Western Bulldogs chief executive Ameet Bains says his club’s VFL clash against the Gold Coast Suns on Saturday has been called off.

The Dogs have flown to Queensland ahead of schedule amid a spike of COVID-19 cases in Victoria.

A VFL curtain-raiser between the Suns and Dogs was scheduled to take place at Metricon Stadium ahead of the AFL clash between the same two clubs on Saturday.

But Bains told SEN’s Whateley that the VFL game wouldn’t proceed, with his club’s VFL side now looking for alternative arrangements.

Bains said the Dogs would take 24 to 25 players to Queensland.

VFL listed players are paid mostly via match payments aren't they?
Sucks they cop a huge whack multiple times this year

The top up players would be able to play at their home clubs where they are presumably paid reasonably well, but not sure if our primary listed VFL players have that option? That is assuming local footy is allowed this weekend.

Some of our top up players come from Amateur clubs, so they wouldn’t be paid at all.

Fair point. It's all academic now anyway, doubtful any footy is played in Victoria this weekend below AFL level.

Bevo's winning percentages:
When we field an older side than the opposition: 82.5%
When we field a younger side than the opposition: 50%

This week we're older and more experienced than Gold Coast, ergo we will win.
Last week against the "rebuilding" Swans we were the younger side.

The photos our players are posting of blue skies and ocean views are making me very envious.
