    Must be a dire game. After looking at the scores, I had to check the weather; expecting rain and wind. But apparently it's fine and a gentle breeze.
    You're not wrong. Geelong have been bad, Collingwood have been worse.

    The scores are 5.12 to 2.14, scores so unusual that the ABC commentators are calling them "hard to say". Cognitive dissonance.

      A woeful exhibition of footy. Glad the AFL's new rules are creating more scoring or it would have been a nil all draw.

        A goalless first half from Collingwood yet Geelong can only beat them by 10 pts....shocker of a game. Cats may well be the 'great pretenders' of the top 8.

        Saints are doing what we'd expect (even considering their recent crap form).....43 pts up on Norf at 3/4 time.

          The afternoon games have been so bad that the Kayo systems have collapsed. Anyone else having this problem tonight?

Even if the outbreak seems to be under control somewhat by midweek (ie little, if any, community transmission beyond close contacts already in isolation), I doubt the Victorian government will allow crowds at footy games next weekend.
            I'm sure our game next week against the Saints will be played in Sydney. We were due to play them in Sydney in round 21 so they'll just switch them like they've done with some of the other teams.

            Carlton have been told they are staying in Sydney.

              Essendon's win over West Coast in Perth has made the Eagles' chances of playing finals that much harder.

                Yep. Also, Richmond down by 3 goals against Adelaide. There's a spot in the 8 available we need to win games like today's to grasp it.

                  For those who like the looks of Chol and/or CCJ both are playing.

                  In fact the latter just passed perfectly to the former inside 50, for a goal.

                    Probably two of the Tigers best so far CCJ very impressive with four goals already
