Risdon out for the rest of season

Pity Hamill didn't pick up his 5th yellow last night.

Anyone confirm if Redcliffe was a heavy (wet) pitch last night?

Really would love too see Rudan sent to the stands

In by 5

Yeah they are but geez I hate playing teams coming off a loss.....

The pitch last night was a bog and it is good that Hamill did not get a yellow last night 

Wonder which Wanderers we will get this week ???

Hopefully the one with a back four and no McGowan. 

In my view McGowan should play for us again he is a liability. Give the kids a go with Ziggy and Ziegler again

correction never play for us again 

Diamante played the whole game last night and Berisha 86 minutes so I can't see both of them having as much of an impact. 1-2 goal win for mine

not conceding early doors imperative not to burst the balloon of confidence filled from last weekend, no need for out of the gates type of football, keep the pill safe and don't give it away, chances will come.

Match cancelled due to COVID lockdown?

At the press conference, journalists brought up the 6 NRL games in Sydney this weekend

Gladys said those events would be lower risk as they're outdoor activities

I'll wear a facemask to the game for peace of mind

Might need it to cover your eyes if things aren't going well.

Less about NSW restrictions more about WU returning to Victoria without having to quarantine. Presume they have not travelled here yet.

It will dependent on other states whether they clasify Sydney as lower risk. Fingers crossed it was just random

even if western united can't make it i doubt we're shoe-ins

It would possibly suit Rudan and team to not play this week.  Would he try and postpone their game to have more time to prepare?

FWIW  

NRL game at Bankwest tonight in the rain

On what grounds? Apart from face masks being mandatory in certain situations again it is business as usual, including sport. This will be a mini localised breakout that the excellent contact tracers will cut out like the others.

I see no reason why a postponement of the game would be getting discussed by WU, at this stage anyway.

*Things can change quickly of course, but right now business as usual.

Yep, if WU have concerns they should be in discussion with the VIC government

If the government told WU "If you go to Sydney, you'll need to undergo hotel quarantine" - that would be a reasonable delay to the match

If WU just say "No, we don't feel like it" that should incur fines and a points deduction

in AFL, Essendon have to travel to Sydney to play GWS Giants

They talked to the AFL and asked for the game to be played later on Saturday so they could do a fly in fly out same day schedule
