The AFLPA have made it clear that hubs aren't on the players wish list, but shorter 2-3 week trips away from home are acceptable, that's why I reckon.

Their arse cheeks would be flapping atm, I can see a condensed last few rounds coming up in a scramble to eliminate 10 sides and isolate the finalists.

Probably right there see 11 new cases in Vic today, should just move everyone to SA and WA and get it done

I know, but we're so crap in other areas, Miss Helena's comment about touching balls a few weeks ago illustrates how little she knows or thinks about football.

Hey to this point we're covid free so I'm willing to let her comment slide.
Yeah it was a little silly, but shit I'd hate her job.

Her job, as a CHO isn't to front the media at daily press conferences. Her job is to offer health advice.
Imagine how stupid we'd all look if we had journo's asking us questions day in day out, even if it was about our daily job, we're no trained to deal with that, nor is she. Granted, she's had 18 months on the job training, but she'll put her foot in her mouth every now and then.

I know if was asked questions about the opening of an art gallery event I would have no bloody idea how that works etc.
Knowing AFL crowds was so far out of her knowledge scope relating to work its not funny.

Media, including AFL media, hasnt helped with that. Ive long been a Whately fan, but the utter disdain and venom in his words whenever referring to SA for the past month or so is poor form. Especially from someone who resides in a city thats lockdowned more than any other here, and should understand the significance of trying to avoid further occurrences.

I've been in Qld a bloody long time now but I still crack the shits when the Victorian flogs diss South Australia. I'm certain a deep seated inferiority complex about Sydney is the root cause of it all. Adelaide and SA shouldn't try to be anything on this side of the country. Nobody does what Adelaide does better. Stay the best kept secret in Australia I say.
