Daniel Cherny says we might have to play in Cairns.
This is crazy, it's only a few days away.
Imagine organizing travel+accom at such short notice.
Plane flights, buses from airport to motels, etc
Seb has twins, Skunk's partner is due soon...
There's a lot of work and huge effects

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
The club could always forfeit the game, save a lot of mucking around and they won't have to embarrass themselves on match day. 
The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
I hope they do play there. I just returned from Cairns, a great spot & may just be what the players, coaches & support staff need. Two weeks in warm weather.
May be our best opportunity to beat the Swans, certainly better than trying to beat them in Sydney.

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
Lets propose to the afl wd move back to noosa for the year - they can fund it.
But I'm not sure how we can play in Cairns (or Noosa atm) if qld's border is shut.

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
No crowds will be allowed if matches go ahead in Victoria. There were more covid cases again overnight. Just a matter of time before borders are probably closed again.

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
Yeah I understand no crowds but they could still play in Vic, right? They both have the bye the next week so they won’t be travelling anyway.samuraisaint wrote: ↑Mon 31 May 2021 4:57pmNo crowds will be allowed if matches go ahead in Victoria.

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
Better team bonding if they're forced to travel so far. Like the hub.

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
If there's no crowd why can't we play here?
Certainly shouldn't be playing Shitney on their home ground up there in Vaseline valley.

The rest of Australia can wander mask-free, socialise, eat out, no curfews, no zoning, no police rings of steel, no illogical inconsistent rules.

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
Yes, I think they could still play, but the AFL and the clubs probably want to make the money from the game which requires a crowd.stevie wrote: ↑Mon 31 May 2021 5:03pmYeah I understand no crowds but they could still play in Vic, right?

TBH I think the clubs can see the writing on the wall now with regards to lockdowns occuring every so often and are being pragmatic about the need to travel. This month it is us, next month it could be Sydney.

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
Anywhere but the SCG is the correct venue. No way Sydney should get a leg up from the AFL here.

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
Two Vic clubs playing each other interstate doesn't make much sense but I'm not sure there are any games in Vic this weekend.stevie wrote: ↑Mon 31 May 2021 5:03pmYeah I understand no crowds but they could still play in Vic, right?

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
It is well known Swans do not fit comfortably in FNQ. Conversely there are plenty of Saints, ask the coppers, stroll the Esplanade. I think the times suit us. Buddy will be stuffed by half time and Brad will be in his tropical element. If only we had a forward.

Re: Swans game in Cairns?
Are you talking about Cairns, or Townsville? I've visited Townsville a coupla times, they're staunch rugby league fans. Of course they go to an AFL game, but it's the noveltyYorkeys wrote: ↑Tue 01 Jun 2021 12:01am It is well known Swans do not fit comfortably in FNQ.
