Not being critical, but he could have come up and played atleast 3 or 4 games and then go to the birth of his baby.
Agree, what else are sister or mother in laws are for?

I think the Bub was supposed to come early. It’s a bit hard to predict these things and believe it or not, some things are more important than a game of footy
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

I guess it goes Cade by case. Definitely massive respect for the sheds. I took the 2 weeks leading into my wife’s due date and then cashed in on 2 months Long service leave to be with my wife and first born child.

On the flip side one of my workmates went back to work 2 days after their child was born because he had experiments to do (he works in MS research)

To each their own. I hope their child arrives healthy and happy with no dramas

Don't understand why he has missed 6 weeks if the baby was not due until this weekend.

What’s there not to understand? He loves his wife and wanted to stay by her side when she is heavily pregnant?

I'd be surprised to see him again this year.  He's only going ng to have 1 maybe 2 games before finals if we make it with 9-10 games missed.  Think we need to look at other options

Third AFL transition hub to open the door for Ablett, Edwards returns

SEN
12 August 2020


The AFL will establish a third “transition hub” on the eve of finals.

The clubs were told yesterday that the league would provide a final olive branch for players to join the game in Queensland.

The hub will be set-up from September 1 – primarily for players at clubs in finals contention.

The home-and-away season is scheduled to finish on September 20.

Any players making the trip would then be expected to quarantine for 14 days, but would be permitted to train in isolation without coming in contact with teammates.

Richmond’s Shane Edwards remains in Melbourne where is awaiting the birth of his child.

Problem is Edwards always takes about a month or so to shake off the rust...and he won't have a month this time.... :shh

Can someone tell how long it takes to have a baby?

It seems this baby is taking the full 9 months to appear.  :rollin

Ch 7 news said the last AFL chartered flight for Sheds, Ablett and co. will be late August/early September. If the H/A season is ending on Sept. 20 then, after serving his 14-day quarantine, Sheds will probably only get Round 18 to play a game before finals.
