I think they want to keep the bye for all or none.
Can’t have half of round 20 played now and the other half play during the bye week.
Means some finalists get a break and others don’t.

They would have removed the bye if every game was off this weekend IMO.

That will ease the tears of a heap of bombers supporters (not you) who have been bitching about going to brisbane

We shouldn’t have been in QLD, it was a disgrace. No crowd tomorrow so no difference and we would get flogged wherever we played but it’s not the point

From CIBO at South Yarra:

Gil McLachlan to finish up at years end to head up the Brisbane Organising Committee.

IF it did happen I would be more interested in who the replacement would be.

Can you imagine the outcry if he did.
Collingwood gets a favourable draw....like we do every year....there'd be meltdowns everywhere.

Stating the obvious here but nailing my colours to the mast and calling it the year of the Cat.

Just reckon they’ve got too many midfield options and their defence can cover the other teams (Dogs, demons and to a lesser extent Syd and Port) forward options.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!

Bulldogs are better. We try to get the oppo to play our game but i cant see it working against Bullies or Swans. We beat the bomb it in high merchants but if a team runs at us and puts pressure on we cant execute. Port look like they are taking on the game a bit more lately and thats how you beat Geelong.

Geelong look good to me. Have the fire power up forward and the midfield to get the job done.

Defence is solid as well.

The dogs also are primed as well. They have talent and the inners all over the ground, will be hard to stop.

Melb are still there as well and when they are up and going they could challenge.

The only other the I think can cause some grief is Sydney. Perhaps Brisbane but I feel they have muffed it way to much this season. Should have been top 4.

Port are average at best, probably out in 2 weeks even if they hang on to a top 4 spot. Not that they are not good enough, that's not the problem but when the whips are cracking they bomb it in long teams like Geelong, Melbourne and the Dogs will handle this without issue.

Clarkson to GWS, heard a strange rumour last night that they are trying to get him for 2022 and to pay out Cameron.
