Covid 19 and footy - season (suspended) now resumed

[Markwebbos]

Sidebottom got on the drink, ..."was sleeping on the couch, went to go to the loo but accidentally went through the wrong door and found himself outside..." . Laughable. Except it's Eddie....

From the Hun, a witness said of Steele: “I was there, I was visiting my mate and he looked naked and the coppers knew him straight away.”

Collingwood coach Nathan Buckley said Sidebottom’s recollection of events over the course of his booze up “isn’t that great ... he’s also in some ways confused about what has taken place. At some point obviously with his drinking he’s made some poor decisions but his recollection isn’t that great.”

Anyone running a book on whether this season gets done or gets abandoned .

The season will continue. We could just get rid of those pesky interstate teams from Victoria and the rest of us can keep going.

Jake Niall seems to think the harsh penalty is down to the Victorian COVID situation:

Sidebottom pays the Victorian pandemic premium

I'd suggest it's more to do with being a complete idiot!

I think 4 weeks is pretty harsh.

I understand the part about not remembering the night before that well, but the lack of clothes? Best not ask too many
questions I s'pose….

Collingwood constantly in the news with player indiscretions. Any other club president would be gone or at least under extreme pressure but McGuire protected species within Vic media and AFL establishment. Bizarre and infuriating.

Noted this in the AFL article today on why Harley Bennell was dropped

All Victorian clubs are also set to temporarily relocate to an interstate quarantine hub next week to keep the season going as the state's COVID-19 numbers keep rising.

Eddie keeps collingwodd under-performing. Let him stay there.
He just needs to get off all the AFL committee's he's on.

Presumably some will come to NSW. Hawthorn perhaps?

Hun says NSW is about to become a “super hub” with 4 VIC and both QLD sides moving here next week!

“It’s still unclear which Melbourne teams will be chosen to come to Sydney, but speculation suggests North Melbourne, St Kilda and possibly Richmond are well and truly in the running.”

I wonder whether it was the cost or just the players disinclination that stopped this happening to months ago?
If it was the cost, how much have the AFL lost by not doing it?

You've got to think it's going to be very difficult to prise Richmond out of their own "super hub" at the MCG that they've been living
in for years.

I doubt north would be a sensible choice. Already played the two Sydney teams.
