[captain blood 17]

Crowd will be 85k. #amidoinitright

 

[Cotchins Hair Piece]

Richmond by 88 in a close one.

 

[juss]

Regardless of the result, at this stage I'll be happy to see a game.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Brave

 

[Chism]

With no Charlie Curnow / Harry McKay and now Betts I will be happy if we kick more than 10 goals while the Tigers will go 20+.

Tigers will smash us IMO.

 

[maskmcgee]

If this game is not played on Thursday night, then it will never be played, as this will get worse until at least August or September when warmer weather comes around.

We never do, and this has the added layer of uncertainty. Who knows who copes with the lead up better and the game conditions?

It will be competitive either way.

 

[projectv]

Richmond to get off to a flyer at quarter time, only to succumb to covid-19 in the third quarter, allowing Carlton to come back and win.

 

[Dusty0004]

Couldn’t care less. Season is dead

 

[WWSD]

Tom Lynch will be the first player in AFL/VFL history to kick 10 goals in front of no fans.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Couldn’t care less. Season is dead

that's the spirit!

 

[1972championsofaust]

Don’t think it will be played!

Just got a call from my brother whom was rostered to work (cabling)the game for Channel 7, told all 142 person crew not required!

Oooooo - you heard it here first, sports fans.

Strong indication that the round is not going ahead IMO if true

God ****ing dammit

Good

 

[Lsta062]

Scott Morrison basically threw the ball in the court of the AFL. Now they have to make their own decision

Strange then that as far as I know the AFL haven't come out and announced game cancelled. What possible gain is there to them keeping us all in the dark for an extra day. of course if it takes a crew of 142 to set up the telecast and assuming at least some of the work is done indoors then your brother's info is consistent with the latest guideline. Maybe Gil will shoot the game on his phone camera and relay pictures to CH 7 and Fox. BT and Co could dub in commentary and sound effects like they used to do in the first cricket broadcasts from England back in the 1930s.

 

[Dez!]

What the f*** is the point of shortening quarters?

 

[Chief]

What the f*** is the point of shortening quarters?

I wonder if it's about playing multiple games in a week?

 

[Dez!]

I wonder if it's about playing multiple games in a week?

That makes sense but wouldn't that be announced along with the shortened quarters?

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Wouldn't fatigue from multiple games make you vulnerable more? Even if you did shorten.

 

[VicBased]

Does it matter if it goes ahead? If it does we already know the outcome (gifted 4 points to Tiges) Hardly worth the effort really.

 

[SM]

That makes sense but wouldn't that be announced along with the shortened quarters?

Might be a precaution.
