Just adding to that.
Hating someone means they "own" a piece of your thinking, time and life.
The best thing to do is just forget them. If they have wronged you, forgive them. Not for their sake, but for yours, so you can move on, and they no longer own a piece of your thinking/mind/life.

This!

Couldn't (didn't) have said it better.

Not sure where they are planning on playing all of these games after September? The cricket T20 World Cup is supposed to be happening from October, and I suspect that takes out a lot of the better options.

who knows , maybe they can go to China for 2-3 rounds ?

still think relocating 6 teams to 3 centres and playing games every night could have worked.

What time is Gil's press conference tomorrow ?

Apparently the players are fighting for a 22 round season given THERE is a 40 week window for the season to operate in.

The players (and AFLPA) are being pretty transparent on that front - they are clearly focused on not taking any form of pay cut and view potentially playing 22 games as a vehicle to enable that outcome.

Can't really blame the majority of players who have the lion's share of their salary coming via match payments but it would be interesting to hear where players on fatter guaranteed contracts sat on the issue.

Gill's proposition that they are also keeping the option of playing perhaps even up until Christmas open is a pipe dream - there's no way the cricketing interests in this country will let AFL games tear up the surfaces at the major venues well into November or December.

Now we just need to hope the internet and phone network holds up,with all the extra traffic. It would be interesting to see how people cope if there are issues. Everyone will have to talk to each other,from 3 metres away of course,or maybe all those odd jobs the missus needs doing,will get done. Need to find another excuse quickly.

And I’ll add to that what someone once told me - “The best revenge is not giving a sh!t”

If I go too long without one I'm not too happy...

It would be the guys on the lower end that would suffer, added to the fact that the VFL won't be running until mid-year. Fringe players would be particularly stuffed.

Their only options would appear to be Marvel , Metricon & the Showgrounds.

Canberra is clear of cricket.

IKON Park if spectators are still not allowed.

Alice Springs , Cairns & Darwin could also be used.

I haven't had much time to commit to SC this pre-season, but yesterday my industry shut down for two weeks. Beer and SC for me for the next day and a half... which will probably reflect in my team. Easily the trickiest season to pick a team.

That's a pretty easy decision for Kayo. Will make more than they would have if the season went ahead normally. Good on them though. They could have done nothing.

Plus whenever (if) it goes back to normal they probably would have had enough new subscribers that will keep their monthly subscription when it goes back to $25 to have made it a very worthwhile customer aquisition.

Not sure what this signifies. Maybe a 22 Round season with shortened games?

Strange days indeed... most peculiar mumma... roll.

Maybe the players should be made to move out instead.

I thought that. Set up like the Giants at picnic point in their early years.
My local aquatic centre and gym is closed for 14 days. Staff member tested positive. I avoid them anyway, prefer to swim in the ocean. The sharks will get rid of any virus.
I think the AFL are kidding themselves.
