From The Age:

"The Bombers had opted to charter flights to the north-eastern Victorian town for the 7pm match, while the Saints instead took a three-hour bus trip."

That's a little more like it. The HUN reporters need to familiarise themselves with a map of Victoria.

A practice session by the Saints on the Wang ground tonight would really stick it to the Bombers,
and show our good faith with anyone who turns up.
It would be the same as saying "Well, we're here, the ground's in decent nick, but where's the opposition?"

True but a single injury and the story will quickly turn to our stupidity.

We get the points. The opposition failed to show.

AFL spokesman Patrick Keane said the League was not making contingency plans.

No contingency plans for a praccy match?

Fair Dinkum, time the AFL get their heads out of their arse and see what's happening!

Another big drink Saturday night and the ground will be knee deep in water again.

I can't imagine it has the ability to soak up another big dump after around 200 mills has fallen in a few days.
Twas a good idea to not have any contingency plans, hey. This has worked out wonderfully. That sandpit at AFL house may be even deeper than you thought.

Nah, it's all part of their plan.

Having no back up slot for a replacement game has meant a big Facebook/Twitter/PR exercise that generates lots of AFL lead stories in the pre season. Kicks off other sports.
