@tommorris32 @1116sen @7AFL So if the Ben Keays situation against Sydney happens again, play on, how ridiculous

The ARC will no longer call the ball back once the game has restarted, Greg Swann confirms. @1116sen @7AFL

@UptheBaggers The top part had illness and the table below had quad, they updated it so both have illness now.

@cleary_mitch Great, so are we going to bring back the match ratio for ladder? Knowing that these 2 teams could at one stage around the mid season bye have played 2 less games, not just the one less than other teams? After around 4 of this season. Just scrap the opening round bullshit

Still a few hoops to jump through, but early talk in clubland suggests the AFL is looking at playing the postponed GC v Ess match after R24. Would allow both to keep their mid-season byes. And would make for an exciting finale IF both in finals hunt. More clarity in next 24hrs

@UptheBaggers Daicos 3 votes on Friday night, must have watched something different to me. Not sure Cripps gets 3 on Saturday, however should poll at least 2. Last week against the giants should poll as well and this predictor has him none for last week.

@josemorgado He might want to play a day match before the quarter final, as if it is De Minaur v Sinner in the quarter final that will be played Tuesday night and Djokovic is going to enjoy a nice 34 degrees next Tuesday playing during the day.

#AusOpen on Friday -- full singles OOP: Novak Djokovic played all his seven matches at night in 2023. Looks like the same can happen this year, apart from the semifinal, where he should play the first one... De Minaur out on John Cain Arena is interesting as well...

@BenRothenberg I’m guessing they decided to give Nick the extra time to recover from covid instead, which is understandable.

#AusOpen schedules the men’s top half of the draw for Monday. That means they have chosen not to buy #1 seed Novak Djokovic any extra time, like they could have with a Tuesday start.

@theage @BenRothenberg @AlexHawkeMP @Gallo_Ways The best option would be to wait for schedule to come out for his first round match, probably Monday or Tuesday night, then 30 minutes before the match boarder force detain him for further questioning. Therefore unable to play and is replaced in the draw with a lucky loser.

Immigration Minister @AlexHawkeMP will not be making a decision tonight on whether to cancel Novak Djokovic’s visa as the saga drags into its seventh day. A federal source confirmed Mr Hawke is still considering the matter | @Gallo_Ways #novak #ausopen #Echobox=1642054852-1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">theage.com.au/sport/tennis/n…

@maxellis26 @josemorgado Agree, I think this the last straw now, the government here in Australia will know about this tomorrow, probably get a 3 year ban if all turns out to true, which no doubt it is. All to worm his way in Australia, because has doesn’t want to be vaccinated.

@josemorgado They have to kick Novak out now. It’s not about tennis; it’s about respecting laws and health protocol.

This entire thread wow.

@josemorgado Doesn’t matter anyway, having covid in the last 6 months doesn’t get you into the country.

The dates are now known.

@josemorgado That is berrentti v tsitsipas

@josemorgado There is few not quite right for R16- thiem can’t play Berrettini potential opponent is Tsitsipas

@josemorgado Djokovic v Raonic is the potential R16 match up

@MichalSamulski He could play on Saturday as Spain will make it through to the semifinals

@josemorgado It will go ahead before April, it will only be put back 2-4 weeks at most. There is no reason to put it back to April. Hotel quarantine to resume here in Melbourne on the 7th December. So no reason for the players not to come. No covid cases in Victoria ( Melbourne) for 22 days.

RIP 2021 tennis calendar. And how is the weather there almost in April?

@AriaAviva Wow simply stunning, I will have to come and play when you are back in Melbourne 😘😍

@tabcomau @Quinny_1 @SCrawf9 Nick, why aren’t the TAB offering the hth and under/over disposals any longer? They pulled them after last Friday games, even though they had Saturday odds up? Not offered this week at all. I’m guessing to many people winning? This bet type was around for a few years now

We're getting to the pointy end of things in the #AFL and the great men @Quinny_1 & @SCrawf9 think we're in for a cracking Round 20. Grab all their thoughts below!

My essay on Nadal. Everything is changing at the French Open except the name of the men's singles champion nyti.ms/2MBUjKp

@wattsy_star @sirswampthing @sydneyswans @AFL Very true, however you only ever got a stat when you kicked it to yourself and played on from full back in the past. Now it is a stat every time you kick out.

@sirswampthing @sydneyswans @AFL Stats a stat
