I guess we will have to wait with baited breath as to what happens with the AFL...again!

Dunno, it's really stuffed me up as we have to ask for days off in advance.
Im now organising our roster having me not work on Saturdays just hoping that's when most of ours are.
At least I got to go to most matches in the first half of the season when we actually had a fixture.

Yeah, nothing like leaving it to the last minute......I for one like to know what Im doing on weekends so I can work that around going to the footy.... then again I guess SANFL members and supporters don't really come into it when working out fixturing......

SANFL obviously doesn't realise some people work on weekends.

Next 2 rounds are loaded on to the fixtures

Only when I want to, we get paid more Saturday and Sundays and I do the roster now.
Weekends are fun to work, get paid more, watch decent racing and AFL games and get paid for it!
Sunday's are awesome, get paid 175%.
It means I only have to work 20 hours a week and in a job I love. Actually it's not even work to me, it's good fun that fills in a small gap of my week!

When did this whole playing footy on weekends malarkey start?

They don't get the concept of Saturday afternoon football.

I imagine the AFL will pause for a couple/few weeks. As will the SANFL.

I attended the EG V GL game last week
Once again I found the umpires green tops and the Eagles tops too similar and hard to pick up at times
I think its time for the umps to go back to all white during eagles games

Actually I won’t argue with you Mal my eldest who is over 30 and colour blind has issues telling them apart from eagles players
Perhaps it’s time the SANFL followed the AFL umpires in wearing different colours to the clubs ( I think I’ve seen this ).

South have complained about this as well as the runners being in the same colour.

The umpires wore white for the grand final because of this issue, I don't know why they don't do this every game.

Maybe they could wear pink like the rugby refs?

The umpires will as of today wear pink in all Eagles games.

So they won’t look like team mates any more, just act like them.

It happened !
Pink is prob as good as white


Whilst Im in form , I predict GL will be the Minor Premiers in season 2021

That's what happens when you don't separate colours when you're washing clothes!
