    Our chances this year could depend on the tokyo olympics. They get cancelled we are doomed. ???????

    This coronavirus is becoming a bigger scare tactic than the climate cult.

    Forget about this coronavirus. I've heard there's a new threat called influenza that they reckon will kill 3000 Australians in the next 12 months.

    Last resort but of course we'll somehow get robbed of a premiership because of this virus. How's that for a case of MFCSS?

     

    Ha ha - I actually thought this yesterday!

    First, it's "Soylent". 

    Second, why would (spoiler alert) feeding people to people stop a virus?

    hearing the contingency is empty stadiums like the HK races.

    Effectively essential personnel only.

     

    It would probably be easier to just maintain the China travel ban thou as i'd hate to miss out on the footy.

    Hopefully it goes through the Herald Sun offices and clickbait is cancelled.

    I’m guessing by “climate cult” you’re referring to the people who side with the 3% of the world’s climate scientists?

    And I suppose you great grandfather blamed Spain for the Spanish flu and expected Spainiards to live in poverty forever.

    (Actually the Spainsh flu is a  slander on Spain since news of it was supressed in the UK USA and Germany because of wartime censorship in WWI - didn't want to affect morale in that pointless war.  Spain wasn't involved and freely published info about it so they got stuck with the name.)

    They could play games in empty stadiums like they do in Europe sometimes. Imagine round one at Optus and no partisan hordes to scream, yell and intimidate umpires. Should put WC right off their game

    Only need to ask the NRL if playing games in empty stadiums has controlled any potential outbreaks in their (ir)relevant states.

    We'll be 75 points up at 3qtr time in the GF and they'll announce the game is cancelled and the season is a no result

    if it's empty stadiums it'd be positive as we could watch WCE games without listening to the the excessive OTT booing. 

    Some natural attrition never goes astray.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
