Pre Game Permutations: AFL 2020 R1 Carlton vs Richmond

[LP]

We have been pretty good at that in recent years.

If the cynical supports are consistent Gibbs must now be the AFL's most valuable player! ;D

Something interesting mentioned in the HS was the fact that being crowdless, will it assist players who have the goal kicking yips? Maybe Levi will drill every opportunity.

Teams loaded with loud voices and aggressive communicators will be at a huge advantage because there is no longer a crowd drowning out the voices.

A key difference to playing AFL to all other levels, the one thing newbies notice more than anything else, is that you can't hear anybody out on the field unless they are right next to you!

Part of me wanted the season delayed for medical reasons, another part of me is wrapped it's on tonight... perhaps a little selfish.

As to the merit in whether or not the season should start I am now sure the AFL -- eventually!!! -- did the right thing. Why? Simple. Sam Newman reckons it's a very bad decision.

Letting 44 blokes tackle each other then go home to their families is madness.

Letting 44 blokes tackle each other then go home to their families is madness.

That's an exaggeration, you'd be lucky if 10 of our blokes tackled.

Letting 44 blokes tackle each other then go home to their families is madness.

It's McLachlan's "Neville Chamberlain" moment.

Hard to get excited right now. On the bright side, while Richmond keep beating us, they never blow us away.

I think we've started pretty well in the last few years....only to fall in a heap and get pulled back in by the tigers.

Perhaps with these shorter quarters (I think thats official?) we might be half a chance!

I would have thought the chances of these guying catching coivid 19 in game to be zero.  They're tested and test, and in lock down.  More chance of catching it at the shops or a kid bringing it home from daycare/school etc

Letting 44 blokes tackle each other then go home to their families is madness.

I wonder if they will bring back Andrejs Everitt celebration after goals?
