Preview Brisbane v Adelaide Preview No Divine intervention Needed

[blueiris]

If the lockdown is only three days are they aloud to come back to Brisbane and play the Saints at the Gabba?

Seems unlikely the last time was only 4 days we still stayed in Melbourne the extra week

At this stage they are planning to be back in Brissy to play St Kilda however I would wager that will change should Covid numbers start to rise or not decrease.

Maybe divine intervention threads need to go the way of operation threads.

Just looking at highlight videos between our two clubs and this one popped up. What a stark difference our club looks like now compared to back then.



Few familiar faces in there too

I can't watch that all the way through. But one thing that I do note is that Mitch has been super consistent. Despite how flat footed we are in this game he was reading fake candy sells, tackling hard, smashing packs with mark (attempts), and snapping goals. He's barely changed his game style as the years have progressed.

Just another update. One of the 29 returned miners in SA has tested positive overnight. Not sure how this will impact the weekend. More info at 11am SA time.

I'm hearing there could be 5 or 6 cases in SA. Might well be played with no crowd.

Move it to victoria imo. What is the point of us flying in and flying out with crazy restrictions pre-game if there is no crowd? Not to mention if SA goes into lockdown there has to be thought to getting the SA clubs out.

 

[MacMum]

Apparently has been reported on SBS that SA going into lockdown......wonder where that will leave our game?

 

[morsie]

So should we tag Ben Keays?
I will see myself out.

Brunswick Oval - sat arvo. You know it makes sense.

[MacMum]

Just checked SA papers, can't see anything about a possible lockdown at this stage, but they do have one or two cases. First one since November.

[MacMum]

Perhaps meet half way in Ballarat? Bus them over here then out again?

 

[trikster]

4 cases mentioned, likely linked to the case from the mines and NT. Ni certainty the game goes ahead in SA now

Haha imagine the melts if he was best on field. Would be epic.

VFL is back baby. We should wear our Fitzroy Guernsey's in the Melbourne hub.

Wooo I get to go to our game this weekend! Hoping for either moving it to a Monday or Geelong sat arvo. With all the other games in Vic no chance we get a melbourne game on sat or sun.

Just no Ballarat please.

Agreed. Don't want conditions to bring us down to their level like the North game.

If the saints game ends up in Melbourne. 4 games in a row for the lions supporters down there is a good outcome for them all. Hope you all make the most of it and cheer the boys on.

If they play them all at geelong/Ballarat we won't be unfortunately

Probably better than going between states and having to quarantine every few days. Just get setup in Melbourne and make life as normal as possible

 

[Simba Moyo]

Considering this was the first opportunity for me to see the Lions play live since 2019 I'll be a little bitter if it is in fact moved to Melb. Ah well, bigger things at play here.

Saints game is a thursday/friday night, so hopefully its MCG.
Gives us 3 games back to back at MCG (Saints, Richmond, Hawks) which will be great.
