AFL Grand Final - 1 minute Applause at 20:21 in first quarter for Victorias lockdown

[Cleavy]

Do I need to dress up a little in front of the TV while WA applauds me?
Do I bow after it? Should I be thanking them by talking at the TV?

Any WA people want to give me their mobile number so I call and show my gratitude?

Thank you in advance.

I think the "good" trackie dacks should be befitting of such an occasion.

make sure you clap for the FULL 60 seconds. I'll be watching.

If I lived in Australia I would.

 

[Stev0]

The first person who stops clapping should be executed.

Back to reality....

Can we get politics out of sport and concentrate on the game.

 

[MrBarry]

The grand final needs to be rotated, this is proper and SA/WA deserve it every few years.

How does Basil get authority over Optus Stadium and the AFL to say what will be going on the screen. He’s the Lord Mayor of Perth FFS and Optus Stadium is not even in his jurisdiction, it’s State Government.

What a w@nker!

Yep but as saying goes, “no such thing as bad publicity”.

That’s what it’s all about, maintaining his name in public space.

Starting the prematch at the MCG, what a cringe!. Did Gil remember to take a pocket full of G dirt to sprinkle over in the West?

Grand Finals all look the same on TV.

I’m wearing the trackies I had my mum re-crotch. A nice brown vinyl contrasts well with grey cotton.

Politics and sports are always have been and always will be joined.

What happened at the 20:21 mark of the third quarter?

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Basil had a new way to commemorate the Victorians struggles by nixing the coaches speech so everyone could get to bed earlier instead

 

[Shane Heard]

What kind of absolute moron forgets to announce and introduce the winning coach and invite him to give his speech?

Mind blowing failure by Basil the numpty

 

[ourgameplandoesntwork]

Might as well applaud the Chinese Communist party too then…

Dan Andrew is an absolute moron.

Idiots deny that COVID is real
But idiots also think lockdowns are the solution

 

[Mofra]

Did this even happen?

Yes, our players started at the 10 minute mark of the third quarter and didn;t stop until the final siren

 

[Choogler]

You can discuss it without interrupting the game.

It is condescending as fu** when he is the mayor of the biggest city in the state which is threatening to hold back the release of national lockdown restrictions because they would rather focus on a hard border than get their people vaccinated.

I personally think it somewhat patronising but if I play devils advocate for a moment, what would you be saying if Gil or officials from the teams had proposed it and Basil had responded with "no, it's condescending besides the interstate supporters have lived with not seeing their teams play in a GF for 30 years, time the shoe was on the other foot"
And just for the record, what does Basil have to do with state government decisions.

I would have said it’s just as condescending and in particular extraordinarily patronising from the AFL given they are much closer to how people are feeling in the eastern states.
