Todays insipid performance certainly takes the edge off it.

Well 2 months to get fkn fit - physically and mentally

Another 2nd half like that and Ratten should be shown the door

The buck stops with him and the match committee

Picking undone players no matter the seniority should not be accepted

Not sure how fit the players will be if they’re training on their own.

Makes sense now.

3 weeks is a long time in footy.

I remember one Robert Harvey used to train on his own

Yeah it will be all good by 1 June.

Can’t wait to see Gill with his tail between his legs late May saying the season is cancelled.

If there needs to be a financial rationalisation after all this, hopefully the AFL does the right thing and winds up GCS and GWS.

True, but Harvey was a freak. I doubt there’s too many players with his drive.

The probability we are playing footy in 2 months is about the same as me booking a cruise to Italy on the Diamond Princess.


The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules. 
They can even WATCH LIVE FOOTY!

The question is will the AFL survive?

IF it does it will be courtesy of the State Government underwriting the loans it will be seeking from banks.

Reliant on the revenue steams it relies on, including Media Rights from an Industry also under siege, and needing to keep Clubs afloat, the pack of cards is being exposed.
