Skids, it's not clear the extra week's rest is an advantage.
One week off is fine. One week off. Then a game. Then another week off... compared with just one week off... Some claim the latter is better! I wouldn't go that far, but... |

At least Dribblesworth and the Toff Collective will have to watch the game from the comforts of their chalets, with rapidly melting snow, as they sure as f^ck won't be watching it from the members stand at MCG; too bad, so sad.

If nothing else, the restructuring of interstate finals and GF, has allowed us the opportunity to see how teams recalibrate for a GF after a 14 day break, to get all their cattle on the park, instead of the standard 7 day break to recover from lingering soft tissue problems... trusting it ensures a genuinely classic battle, with no blow out margin due to fatigue.

Why will the Dees be fresher? Both have the same period off before the GF.

Dennis Cometti to commentate the game on MMM Perth.
The best game commentator by that far it's not funny, tv will be on mute at my place.

I'm going for Melbourne.
The Dogs had their moment 5 years ago.

Hmmm... would be nice to find out if they will stream that MMM commentary; would gladly do the same at my place, and mute the muppet show.

They've had "too much" of a break. It's unfair, really. They've had to schedule a competitive internal scratch match this weekend to try to compensate.
So dunno what's gonna happen... |

I definitely think the week off before the GF has its advantages. (e.g. think of what happens if someone gets concussed in a PF and has to have the 12-day break.)
But if they want to keep it, they should do something about a team that finished top and wins in week one having so little footy over a month. OTOH, maybe it won't harm Melbourne. We'll have to see. And in this case, everything's up in the air 'cos of COVID, so I don't entirely blame the AFL... |

I come from a long line of Collingwood people. I feel like I'd be going against them if I backed the Dees.
They'd never support us in a million years. (I dont expect the Dogs would either, but the Demons are a traditional rival of ours).
I think the only way I could support the Dees would be if they were playing the Blues.
It will suck if Melbourne win.

1 competitive match in 4 weeks for the Dees - and it wasn't really a competitive match. |
