    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.

    There is absolutely no doubt that we will be flying and premiership favourites when they cancel the season...

    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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
