Much needed especially with AFLW played there. Assume the blue is the protective wrap covering aluminium? If so they look good. Slightly taller and much deeper though, so will be interesting to see how they interact with the terraces/boundary and sight lines from the Ryder Stand.

Yup it’s wrapping covering aluminium. I tried it out last night
pretty sturdy. It’s very deep inside. And much longer in length. Some may question the glass roof especially in summer, but that remains to be seen how that goes

Sorry don’t always jump on - training now just waiting to see still if he makes the cut. Sorry my news can be vague at times

Going by the Port Melbourne signings, we have lost Stackelberg to them.
These look heaps better, and alot more spacier. That little bit of grass in the picture, is looking nice and green too.....

I assume they’ve just rolled out Cox’s jumper for the photo. Perhaps a chance to have 47 again.

Hartley is a very solid addition.
Been around multiple clubs. Can do it all at VFL level... defend, ruck forward.
Let’s hope he is also a ‘Covid emergency’... senior squad could do with that kind of depth

I like the addition. At times we’ve been exposed when a mature opponent has been too big for a developing key back.

It's an interesting one, which highlights the problematic nature of the VFL winning versus development for the AFL team. We need a mature tall to be more competitive in the VFL, but also need to get games into a pretty decent sized group of developing talls on the list.

Yep, it’s a difficult balance. The impact of a creating winning culture vs game/role exposure. Potentially could make in an match move if the young player is getting beat and at times we’ve filled key posts with medium sized VFL listers especially when injuries have built.
How much VFL do we realistically see being played this year?
We will have:
- Normal isolating for AFL listed players
- Isolating of VFL listed players
- AFL potentially using top up VFL players
- States changing travel rules
- Etc.

Worst Case Scenario be None again

I think there will be another surge of cases when schools go back and then a pretty steep decline as so many will have had it already. Things getting normal by March.

QLD now have 0 travel rules, doubt they'll impose any. NSW are in the same situation as us. Thats all we have to worry about given SA/WA dont go by our competition.
But by March, we'll be on a decline, I don't imagine we'll have to worry too much. This will peak in a couple weeks.

Yes it will peak... then come back with a vengeance in autumn and winter. Getting the numbers we are now in summer... omicron will take over completely in winter and the reactionary health beurecrats and politicians will still insist on restrictions, isolation and other measures that have no effect on the Omicron spread...
Long story short... bugger all VFL this year too

So we be back in Lockdown for Winter Then?
But you would expect an increase in cases over the winter months. Middle of winter, is going to stretch both the AFL and VFL.....

Dunno about full lockdown but the virus will be everywhere in the colder months ... and the policy towards it will still be reactionary, and with a lingering ‘Covid zero’ mentality despite Omicron hospitalising less than 0.5% of Victorians who have it (less again if double vaxxed as a fairly large proportion of those in hospital are unvaccinated)
And we all know that while the big money events like Melb cup carnival, AFL and Aus Open will have the money and political will to go ahead... State and local league footy will be treated differently

Then why are we Opening Up Now to just go back to Restriction?
Only Happen IF things get Worse
