We have the ruck stocks. May need to break up Soldo and Nank with CCJ & MC.
Mids a plenty, our weakness is the back line.

Have we got depth to play two games a week?
- Thread starter No 4
- Start date
Last season proved our depth, and if everyone else is playing to the same schedule then it’s a level playing field.
Most clubs could fudge their way through a short turn around n play a couple of games off a short break as they sometimes do now. But for a club to try n push in five games in three weeks would be seriously stretching the resources. They'd probably have to cancel a ressies game or two so that you could rotate some fresh players into the team plus extend the interchange bench to increase rotations n shorten actual on field time for players.
Clubs would be devastated if they copped an opposition coming off a five or six day break if they were only copping a three or four day break themselves n I reckon you could almost guarantee there'd be an unforseen anomaly such as this pop up somewhere.

Agree. Gill the Dill's got 72 hours to decide about R1 crowds.
I might be pessimistic in this case, but why do I smell we lose the R1 crowd as home team while the Choking scum will get a crowd against us in R2.
The no crowd policy wont be lifted for a while TF (my guess at least a month). The filth will lose out too.
If I'm right, first home game with Tiger Army in attendance would be...against the Giants at the G.

Actually made this point to a friend the other day. The positive out of this could be our depth if they need to play more games in a shorter space of time. Can’t see us playing in front of crowds for a while either. Purchased tickets to the Anzac Eve game during the week which I think was more out of hope than anything else.
This, particularly the "stupid" part.
I doubt we could do two games per week given the unique toll even one game takes on AFL players, even if it's the same for everyone.
Too high a risk of injuries and breakdowns.
I don't think it will be 'stained' if things get changed. The competition isn't very equitable as it is - in fact if the season was reduced to 17 rounds it would actualy be more fair than a normal season.
We still count the flags won during both world wars when the number of teams was reduced.
Just hope this doesn't screw up our chances while we have a great team.

Another 90000 game starved, salivating, restless, LOUD tiger fans in the crowd versus 10-15 trumpet players. Should be fun!
It must work, otherwise mclachlan might have to put the remodelling plans for one of his beach houses on hold.
Let's hope it's right on the waters edge so the rising sea levels take it off him.
17 rounds might work, I was talking more about the playing 2 games a week with in effect two interchangeable sides. I think some still under-estimate this virus. Many are going to get it - many already have it and don't know yet. As soon as an AFL player has it that team will be in lockdown at a minimum. It will no longer be equitable with teams missing games. As I said I prefer them to just play as a normal season but if (more like when) it gets compromised just forget about a premiership this year.
