NoWhiners Posted June 23, 2021 Author #276 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Thanks for this Docker, maybe this increases my chances of seeing the Swans, assuming they play. When I saw the email with this message, I didn't know what you meant about the thing we are not allowed to mention. Now that I logged in to CC, I saw the warning. Sort of like She Who Must Be Obeyed (from Rumpole of the Bailey--I loved that show)! Can't check the TV schedule until tomorrow night but at least I have an idea now. Go Swans!

Docker123 Posted June 23, 2021 #277 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Both the Swans and the Giants have already come to Melbourne. The AFL is now trying to sort out various state border restrictions, as well as ground availability. Quite a jigsaw puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted June 23, 2021 Author #278 Share Posted June 23, 2021 (edited) What happened--I thought things were under control down under??? Although I did read about the spiders spinning huge webs on top of plants in Victoria (Gippsland???)

Docker123 Posted June 23, 2021 #283 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Swans will play Port in Adelaide on Saturday. The game will now start at 4.30pm Melbourne time. One of the quarantine features is that the Swans will fly on a charter Saturday morning, and return to Melbourne immediately after the game. Typically, teams are required to fly in the day before a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With NSW having the outbreak, it limits South Australians to the spread. 😀 Edited June 23, 2021 by possum52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they testing the Swans before the game? That seems like a good way to monitor the virus and limit exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Docker123 Posted June 26, 2021 #292 Share Posted June 26, 2021 (edited) Buddy has been reported for front on contact (usually hitting a player who is stretched out to get the ball. Could be fist or severe body contact). I can’t find vision, yet. May get a fine.

Docker123 Posted June 26, 2021 #294 Share Posted June 26, 2021 swans hit the front in the final quarter, with Buddy kicking 3 goals for the term. However, Port came back to take it out. Buddy is now number 6 in all time goal scorers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare MicCanberra Posted June 26, 2021 #296 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Was an exciting game but with the conditions being so slippery, it made it hard to dominate and score, gutsy win by port Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted June 26, 2021 Author #297 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Had an early golf lesson today, so just getting to my email. Thanks for all the posts Docker. The game was on TV here and I wanted to watch, but I feel asleep and didn't wake up until 7 am! I must have been tired 😉 Another sort of close loss and now Buddy getting wild. Sorry I missed it. Tonight the Giants-Hawks and Blues-Crows games are on, with the first game starting at 9 here. I should be able to stay awake for that one. Go Swans!

NoWhiners Posted July 2, 2021 Author #298 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Three games on here tonight, back-to-back. Alas, not the Swans. From the standings, I think this will be a tough one for the Swans and maybe a 'must win'. What is the word on the street down under?? 😉 Go Swans!

The game is being played on neutral ground due to lockdowns, at Geelong's home ground, Kardinia Park. For what it is worth, the Swans are the bookies favourite. Good luck.

Rare MicCanberra Posted July 2, 2021 #300 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I am thinking that which ever team shows up will win, both teams have lacked consistency.swans may have the slight edge in betting odds but the Eagles have slightly better form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
