It would be interesting to compare how often these 5 clubs (4 of them finalists) dropped players due to covid "protocols" compared to the rest of the clubs.

This is one of those times where i wish Rankine played for Essendon. Imagine the look on Dodoro's face if that was the offering.

Would need to be 2 firsts if they want the Suns to take crouch of them.

And then I can sell you.

Plus, Tasmania needs a Government Radio Network, right Garibaldi Red

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but we didn't have a PAFC logo/emblem on the left chest area on Sunday's horrid grey jumper.
Small one next to the Macron symbol, at the bottom left corner above/at the front of the hip.
Small sublimated one on the back of the jumper around 'tramp stamp' territory. Yes terrible analogy, but it's all I could think of on quick notice.

WTF is going on?

Some substitution of previous RAT tests involved apparently, amongst other general slackness in processing, but "none of the clubs obtained a competitive advantage from their breaches" according to Gilligan heir apparent Andrew Dillon.

It's not there on the BiB either - this pic from the home game vs Geelong in R19:

As long as port isn’t one of the five.

 

[edgie]

Hind should be happy he has a coach that wants reassure, support, and encourage. Not demand a personal apology.

The sponsor didn’t change. Our badge was above MG’s. It was simply removed.

I would prefer having Macron’s above the AFL logo, with our badge replacing it at the center.

Almost. Back a decade or so they used to play Collingwood and other big drawing matches at Stadium Australia, but they've only had a handful of crowds in the low 40ks at the SCG in the last few years.

AFL Tables - Sydney - Crowds

I don't know why, but your post was bugging me this arvo.

Outside of finals, the Swans have only had 4 crowds of 40k+ at the SCG this century and one was back in 2001. And only had 10 since they started playing at the SCG in 1982 - 3 in finals + 7 in the minor round. 1+3 in the 90's and 2+4 this century.

Saturday arvo isn't a great time slot for crowds in Sydney - for all sports not just AFL, but when we were flying in 2014, Rd 13 we played in the biggest ever Saturday afternoon crowd the Swans have ever had at the SCG of 41,317.

I had been in Sydney for a few days in the lead up and the game, and it got a lot of attention. We were flavour of the month with the run and gun style back then.

I said that outside of finals, the swans v collingwood game crowd of 44,659 is the biggest crowd at the SCG since the Port game. I was wrong they had 42,314 on a Thursday night v Hawthorn in 2016, when Hawks were the reigning premier and Buddy v his old mates, again was on show.

The next highest Saturday afternoon crowd was against Freo in 2017 ie 39,281. Two clubs that aren't great crowd drawers away from home all around Oz, have the 2 highest crowds in the least popular time slot in Sydney.

I attended the 2 Geelong games on the list in 1996-97 years during the Ablett Sr era Geelong.

No extra money in the soft cap, just the standard amount, which is still enough.

SCOMO WANTS ROLES AT BOMBERS
The SA Footballer has heard on the grapevine, that Scott Morrison is more than willing to take on the Essendon Senior Coaching role in 2023.
As long as he can be the CEO, run the canteen, be in charge of selection, be in charge of line marking the oval, head up the medical department, head up the player welfare department and be in charge of football operations.

Just a cotton pickin minute, what has happened to the Crows Camp story? Has it dropped off the news cycle already?

Don’t worry it will be back in the headlines soon. More players intending to come out with stories in the off season. The number in the class action is growing too.
