How are the Swans doing 2020

[Docker123]

AFL season will be suspended until at least 31 May following completion of the games today.

 

Noting South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania are all closing borders.

AFL season suspended until 31May 2020.

[NoWhiners]

Yep.  I've been watching the game tonight, Lions trailing, and also watched the halftime presser. Sad that the season may be done but the Swans are undefeated!!

 

I think it's nice that they think there is some chance after May the games will be back on, but I'm not sure about that.

 

I guess we will need to find something else to discuss here. How about:

 

What is the greatest footy game ever played? Or, who is the best player ever??

 

Take care mates, and wash your hands!

[MicCanberra]

There is no doubt in my mind that I am the best player ever, at least until I wake up anyway.

Ah yes, a legend in your own mind 😁

 

Ok, excluding you, who is the best player ever???

[MicCanberra]

Lionel Messi.

[NoWhiners]

Pele

[MicCanberra]

Close but statistically, Messi is better.

[bazshirl2]

Greatest game ever- Carlton trailing Collingwood by 44 points at half time in 1970 VFL grand final and going on to win by 10 points !!!

 

Ok - I will admit to a little bias and being at the older end of the spectrum.

[NoWhiners]

Yes, but it was a different time, with different nutrition, training techniques and other supporting processes. Still, I will defer to your deeper knowledge.

 

Where does Maradona rank in statistics?

Wow, that sounds like a real contender to me. I think it's an advantage being at the older end of the spectrum 😉

Talent wise well but statistically not all that high due to half his career being drug induced at Napoli.

2018 AFL grand final

 

Totally unbiased, of course.

The projections for some time have been that the peak is expected across May-August. State govt in Victoria still planning towards June as the top.

Wow, that is much sooner than any US predictions. Of course, we lost a lot of time...

 

I sincerely hope that the worst is done for you Aussies by August.

We lost time as well, someone wanted to go to the footy. Now that the cricket is over.

 

Here it coincides with the flu season, which was already looking nasty.

 

Wash your hands. Get your flu shot.

Good advice 😷

OK, I give up--who is Plugger????

 

Is he the footy equivalent of a drop bear 🤨?

Greatest game since inception of the AFL in 1987???  Hard to really determine but my money is certainly on the 1992 / 1994 / 2006 /2018 Grand Finals.

Thanks for the link.

 

Imagine my delight when I read he ended his career with the Swans 😊
