and the good news just keeps rolling in ...

 

Buddy has been ruled out for the rest of the season because on ongoing injury.

 

 

Oh nooooo, the hits keep coming. This is a lost season for my Swans. I think I will go light a candle for them. I just hope it doesn't set my bag on fire 😉

 

Go Swans!

[MicCanberra]

Could be worse, the Crows are still winless.

This is just one awfully strange season all around.

 

Covid, a big break after the first round, teams locked out of states, fans locked out, shortened games, etc.. Still no clear indication of where any finals will be played.

 

A lot I know see it as some entertainment, but not a huge emotional investment.

Yes, and I hope they keep their perfect record going. Swans need even these small favors.

I guess this will go down as a lost season. Maybe good to get the rookies ready for next season?

Good planning would mean they should have been doing this gradually all season long but I know what you mean.

I doubt the Crows can even get close to the Swan's points on the ladder

The lower down the ladder a team finishes at the end of the season, results in the team getting early draft picks.

Ah yes, I had forgotten. A silver lining in the cloud after all.

A comeback win for the Bombers yesterday over the Hawks. After being 36 points down at half time, Bombers won by 16 points. Joe Daniher played his first game for 15 months and kicked three goals. 

 

Last night the Eagles lost to the Tigers by 27 points.

 Way to go Bombers--I bet Rob and the boys are happy!

 

Glad you posted, this reminded me to check the schedule. We get to see the Geelong game, GWS Giants game and--the Swans 😁 And, it's on at 9:45, so I will be able to actually watch it.

 

Go Swans!

Oh yeah, I expect it will be quite the beating, but at least I can watch 😉 And, you never know, the Swans could start a late run!

 

Go Swans!

Port haven't been going that well lately, you never know.

They got their wings clipped last night. Not as easy to win away from home.

I am no AFL follower, but I cannot fathom out why the AFL grand final is going to the Gabba in Brisvegas, I mean to say they are still having Covid outbreaks up there. OK I understand why not in Melbourne home of Arial Ping Pong,  but why could it not be be held in Sydney?

 

Young Warwick wants to know !!

Because Warwick was a Meter Maid on the Gold Coast.

 

 

 

Games are being played in Perth, Adelaide and Qld (with odd ones in the NT). All teams have moved from Vic and NSW. 
 

The reason given was because Qld was the most accommodating by hosting so many teams and games. WA had said quarantine would apply, probably to huge bag loads of freeloaders who get along.

All about the money I reckon.  BTW Warwick is a bit greedy, two meter maids on the go, halycon days.

BTW, Crows won against hawthorn during the week, they now have a win, still need another 3 to drop the wooden spoon though.

A night Grand Final due to a horse race, what a load of BS, it is all about the money.

I agree Mic, why give the AFL Grand final to Qld,  That tyrant of a Premier won't let anyone across the borders, but they want the AFL for the big $$$.  So only Queenslanders can attend the game.  Load of baloney. Should have been in Sydney.   Geez they don't even have decent beer up there, just that XXXX rubbish. And what brand of pies are they going to serve at the Gabba more importantly?

I went to check scores and the Swans schedule and saw this. Oh no, our lead over the Crows is shrinking! I don't see them beating Melbourne this week, so things are tightening up.

I thought it was played at night? Maybe that just because of the time difference and it is night here. Is it traditional to play in the afternoon?

 

On a related note, the Swans will be on this morning at about 12:40 am, but I can't watch because I have a golf match tomorrow. Much sadness 😞

 

Go Swans!
