News Time for the Vic teams to leave Victoria - EDIT: Hawks to Hub in Barossa, 15 teams in QLD

[Numero Uno]

I'm tipping the Vic media have enough on their plate to give a sh*t about Simpson's thoughts at the moment.

In short, no.

Might of been a sarcastic post to highlight Victorian hypocrisy..just a thought

With so much vitriol coming out of WA at the moment it's hard to tell.

 

[GCS in 11]

when is round 8 & 9 announced?
would have to be some time this week?

Yeah they’ve mentioned this week it should be out, but could always be delayed who knows.

I don't think it's so much nasty vitriol as much as it is just some light hearted schadenfreude.

Lighten up, son.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Who decides who gets to take their families and who can't?

 

[Numero Uno]

Fat slobbo on 360 tonight : we thank players and clubs for going into hubs. We appreciate you keeping the AfL afloat

You and your fellow Victorian halfwits haven’t been saying that for the last 5 weeks...hypocrite

 

[Smeg Head]

Other than our Premier and the odd person here and there most WA people don’t think there is any chance the GF will be in Perth.

They will just say we have to honour the MCG contract, you can quarantine afterwards if you so need.

 

[Farang83150]

It’s all good mate.

Some aren’t happy when they get asked to back up their claims. You know what it’s like. It’s usually when they are FOS or don’t have the capacity to think critically. But that’s ok. Perhaps the Bay is more their speed.

Other more credible posters back up their claims. Respect.

Nah not the flog I'm referring to.

The MCG contract has already been broken, not going to hold 43 h+a games this year.

Lighten up, son.

Nah I get it, I'm in your camp, go through my posts.

Always said the Grand Final should be at Optus 2020 and the Vic clubs should've moved when the Storm did, just seems like the West especially is going hard as a mother****er at the moment.

Exactly, so many can give it but cant take it, should be referred to here on in as "McGuire syndrome".

Are they sweat boxes?

Nah got ac.

The fixture for the next few rounds has so many options now, you basically have 12 clubs in a combined NSW/QLD hub and nearly every match up that’s left available. Good choice by the AFL to make the hubs this way. Made up a mock Rd 8&9, would love to see a Friday night doubleheader in Rd 9 using Perth.

Round 8:

Richmond vs Western Bulldogs - Thurs 7:40pm (Metricon)
Sydney vs Hawthorn - Fri 7:50pm (SCG)
Melbourne vs Brisbane - Sat 1:45pm (SCG)
Gold Coast vs North - Sat 4:35pm (Metricon)
Port Adelaide vs Essendon - Sat 7:40pm (Adelaide Oval)
Adelaide vs Carlton - Sun 1:05pm (Adelaide Oval)
St Kilda vs GWS - Sun 3:35pm (Metricon)
West Coast vs Collingwood - Sun 6:10pm (Optus)
Fremantle vs Geelong - Mon 8:10pm Mon (Optus)





Round 9:

Brisbane vs Richmond - Thurs 7:40pm (Gabba)
St Kilda vs Essendon - Fri 7:10pm (Metricon)
Hawthorn vs Western Bulldogs - Fri 9:40pm (Optus)
Adelaide vs GWS - Sat 1:40pm (Adelaide Oval)
Gold Coast vs Carlton - Sat 4:35pm (Metricon)
West Coast vs Geelong - Sat 8:40pm (Optus)
Sydney vs Melbourne - Sun 1:05pm (SCG)
Port vs North - Sun 3:05pm (Adelaide Oval)
Fremantle vs Collingwood - Sun 6:10pm (Optus)


All times AEST

Facts are dribble now? Of course they didn't say sh*t you had a dream run against some bottom sides and now you are about to get 10 home games to finish the season.

You just repeated yourself.

 

[Smeg Head]

The MCG contract has already been broken, not going to hold 43 h+a games this year.

You assume they will act with common sense?

 

[wal]

You assume they will act with common sense?

of course not, they will demand compensation from the Queensland Government

 

[Skull Face]

You just repeated yourself.

And you again failed to give a response, I assume you concede the point.

It has gotten lighter lately which has been good to see. But ever since the pandemic began the WA posters in general on here have not shown themselves in a good light with their posting. I am uncertain if the posting has gotten better or whether I now have the majority of the rank cretins on ignore.

 

[Pessimistic]

Are the Victorian media still calling West Coast whingers because Simpson asked for clarity about the hub

Or is that even for these biased Vic centric morons a bridge to far in ignorance and stupidity

Most of us wouldn’t even be aware of threat were it not for this thread. Have you wondered if we don’t spend a lot of time thinking about WA over here? Cos we dont

Your post history suggests otherwise.

Of course.

In a pure football sense, early on in the season restart it appeared that the burden would be asymmetrical and impact on West Coast more than their chief flag rivals, and supporters were rightly up in arms.

The justification by Vic fans that it was the WA's government's decision and by extension West Coast's fault they would be disadvantaged was tone deaf a incredibly parochial. That view was unjustified, and also fails to recognise the reason for strict border controls was and always has been the high number of cases in NSW and Victoria.

In the eyes of many, this is just comeuppance.

Surely the focus now should be to get as many Vic vs Interstate games finished so as soon as the vic teams have played all their interstate teams they can go home

Might not be possible to get everyone to play everyone but it would get as close as we can

It doesn't seem to be the way the AFL has decided to go.

The AFL hasn't scheduled many VIC v Non-Vic games over the next 2 rounds.

Football will not be played in Victoria anytime soon, or maybe at all this season.

Now that the border is closed with all states, Victorian teams may not be able to return after 32 days. They may have to spend the rest of the season out of Victoria.

Talk of a bye round

AFL season reaches desperation point as footy leaves Victoria

No football in Victoria for at least a month means an unprecedented AFL season has gone to a new level, writes Al Nicholson.

The longer the season takes to finish the more it compromises the 2021 season (shorter preseasons etc). Perhaps this is the new normal, with 2021 being affected by COVID too. Two unique seasons.
