It was, then things changed, every day things changed.
Nobody answered me the other day, other than some freight issues, sitting to have a beer, some paper work for local footy and the casino being shut for poker, what else needs to be reopened?
I have no issues with anything being re-opened.. I don't even mind some of the "safety measures".
My biggest gripe at the moment is there seems to be endless recommendation, requirements and safety measures constantly coming out.. without any genuine justification as to why. What is wrong with what has already been occurring?
Take SACA for instance.. this year each captain needed to be 'covid captain' and complete infection control training and carry sanitiser.. no problems, that's easy. Now we need a covid captain and a covid marshall.. we can only have one scorer and the preference is e-scoring instead of the book... ok I can live with that.. restrictions around no high 5s or contact, umpires must bring a coin and captains remain 1.5m away for the toss.
Players cant give hats/jumpers etc to umpire - must be put behind the keeper like you would a helmet.
Penalties for using sweat/saliva etc on the ball.
Regulations around how the ball must be treated and maintained.
Rules for the sake of rules.
Do the AFL still scrub each ball when they go out of bounds?
Cmon mate isnt the real issue afternoon tea being banned? Im seriously considering not playing
Also no shared drinks, whats the penalty now for the 1st dropped catch?
I went to training the other day, didnt touch a ball, had a bat and that was it. At the end of training some wanker who obviously thinks he is the police now tried to tell me to sanitize my hands, sorry mate im all good.
