There will be no * on the cup this year.

There is no * on the cups during WW1 and WW2 years. Much nastier and bigger events than the CV.

No one looks back on those seasons with a * in mind.

If we win it, it's not an asterisk flag because it's the hardest season ever played.

If we get bundled out, it's an asterisk season.

Isn't that how it works?

You now how we finished 12-5 including wins against North and Freo.....
You're right, I should have said except when playing against us.

Who do you really follow in the footy, because it is certainly not the saints?

I'm very sure every single Saints fan will be watching the asterix final tomorrow. 🤣

There will be Saints fans there that will enjoy it more than enough!

oh PS '65 - Gill was there at the Gabba game the other week with his family enjoying the result just like the other Saints fans - you know slumming it with the rest of the public qld plebs
Did not see one ounce of regret on his face at all!

Good for them, there are still some aspects to enjoy, especially for those starved of live footy. I have never said it won't be an excellent achievement to win the thing this year, within the confines of the COVID limitations, (may as well try to enjoy it, that's all there is) but nothing like the full term, marathon season. I'm sure Gill is looking forward to next year when hopefully the true game is back again.

Make sure you don't look down and read the record for too long during the game, or you might miss a quarter.

If we keep winning I will go, and I will certainly be at the Grannie should we make it. :wink: :wink:

Within the confines of COVID is exaxtly right.

That's what the flip top heads don't understand when you are being objective in your comparison of the Asterisk Cup to full strength years, it doesn't mean you still can't use it for entertainment but at the same time don't carry on like a weirdo and make yourself look like a cardboard cutout and pretend it's the greatest and hardest earnt prize ever to be on offer. Just makes me cringe every time someone trys to claim this will be the hardest earnt cup ever. For crying out loud the boys are living in a an all expenses paid resort.

Yet you still haven’t managed to provide even one example of how this year is more compromised than any other.

Please, it shouldn’t be too hard if you’re so set on it.

I'd say a simple read of AFL 2020 vs say AFL 2019 on Wikipedia as one example.

Like I said, if it’s such a compromised year then examples should be easy, yet no one can give us any.

Absolute cracking game tonight. They could not go harder. Only a troll would suggest otherwise or continue with the asterisk nonsense. I suspect they will though, without censor.

Yep, watching tonight clearly the players don’t care, aren’t taking it seriously. And the crowd seem almost asleep, so disinterested...

This year the premiership team will be awarded the same premiership cup as every other team got every other year. Plus the same flag too.

And nobody’s watching.
THE OPENING match of the 2020 Toyota AFL Finals Series, Port Adelaide v Geelong, attracted a total average TV audience of 1.49 million.

The audience was up 23 per cent compared to last year's Thursday night week 1 final (West Coast Eagles v Essendon), and out-rated all week 1 and 2 finals from 2019.

The national free-to-air (FTA) Metro audience was up 34 per cent compared to last year's Thursday night week 1 final.

Shhh, don't let facts get in the way of a troll. Afterall, what is a troll but someone who is consistently and deliberately wrong.

However we must allow trolls the ability to reincarnate.
