Ch7 reporting it's "at least 10" players.

2022 season will be super poo poo if players are constantly missing due to covid. The team that decides to put itself into a iso bubble the whole year will win the flag.

WC vs Freo GF it is then

That’d be ok but I don’t think WA will let them in

They are welcome to come over, as long as they quarantine like everyone else.

No, I don’t think you realise how hard it is to get into WA. The afl might be able to work something out but they don’t just let you go and quarantine.

Perth Glory can freely travel so I don't doubt the AFL will get similar treatment

The only reason we didnt have the ashes test here was because suitable quarantine settings couldnt be agreed on between the government and the two teams, which implies that there are quarantine settings that will be accepted.

I'm also guessing there will be different standards for the domestic leagues versus the international traveling test circus that has families along.

I think the Hermit Kingdom fantasies will start to break down. Maybe not in the early season but some point, they're just going to go eh gently caress it.

I'm loosely considering going to the round 1 match between Crows and Brisbane. 14 day weather forecast puts it at around 25 degrees on that day which sounds fantastic. And it's the Grand Final rematch! They've moved it to way down south of town at Flinders University Stadium, but ironically I was contemplating heading to Flinders University that day anyway to get some lectures recorded so maybe it lines up. Mind you, the stadium itself is still a good 20 minutes drive further south of the University.

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
There’s a rumour that Michael Hurley’s wedding was a super spreader event and a heap of Essendon players now have covid.

I know someone who had friends attending Paul Seedsman's wedding (which was on NYE I think) and a bunch of them got COVID. You would think a few Crows players would've been there.

They're not really any different to the rest of us during the offseasons so this will just become everyday news.

Time to start thinking about a new thread for the new season, think we can at least get started for the AFLW with the start of an OP.

There were quite a few past and present Crows players there, including some now at other clubs

That's fine but we can just as easily roll this one over like last year. I don't really have to the time to do a new one as I still have to update my ratings site and haven't even looked at that since the GF.

At least prepping the basics/minimal effort for AFLW and having bigger updates ready for the men's comp is what I meant even originally, not expecting to have a men's update ready for this weekend by any stretch.

There's a value in refreshing the threads every so often as well, and calendar year/beginning of the season is as good a time as any.
