    I can't believe Eddie said that with a straight face.

      Eddie's capable of saying a lot of questionable things with a straight face.

        Eddie has a somewhat Trumpian relationship with the truth.

          Gill has really stuffed this up, by delaying moving out Victorians teams earlier this week.

          The QLD teams should be staying in QLD. Why on earth would you make them leave a safe place to go to the worst place in Australia.
          South Australia has now shut the door to a Hub because they dont want victorian teams at all.

          Meanwhile the NRL keeps chugging along just fine, because they move quickly (NZ to NSW, Storm to QLD) at the first sign of trouble.

          What exactly is Gill doing?. Clarko runs the rules committee, and Eddie runs AFL operations. He's got to go.

            And both havea similarly inflated view of their own comic talents. Which is where I think a fair few of Eddie's problems stem from. He thinks that he's a very funny guy; but he isn't.

                Eddie Mcguire should be sent to a hub on Christmas Island for the rest of the season. We can send Sam Newman there to keep him company.

                  Tigers ( and 5 other Vic clubs ) to play the remainder of the season in QLD by the sounds of it ! That’s brilliant ! Bit of poetic justice after their run into the flag last year!

                        It would be even more amusing, if they all lost to a resurgent Suns.

                          I reackon the AFL are within a bee's dick of suspending the season for a week or two to let them get their hubs in order.
                          Could even stop play any time this weekend.

                            The sticking point with the current season continuing at all will be the negotiations over Richmond's compensation package for
                            having to play away from the MCG for more than one week in a row. Apparently the Tigers are demanding that all 22 H&A games
                            and any finals they play in 2021 be at the MCG and that any games they play in the Queensland hub this year be played with
                            no crowds (and broadcast with no canned crowd noise) as their players and fans are not used to hearing cheers from opposition
                            supporters. Trent Cochin has also demanded a private jet be available to him 24/7 "for family reasons" and Jack Reiwoldt has
                            already "put his body on the line" once this year for the Bushfire Relief game and staying in Queensland for a few weeks is
                            just too much to ask, and so won't be playing there.

                                A bit unfortunate that Sydney has to accommodate that hawthorn trash for the foreseeable future. I guess the only upside is that their grubby little fans will have to stay home.
                                It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play violin. That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.
