John Travolta was hospitalised for suspected COVID-19, but doctors now confirm that it was only Saturday Night Fever, and they assure everyone that he is Staying Alive.

    why tf should he when he's got a perfectly good gooney bag

    Moonie’s gooney bag would likely contain enough salmonella to hospitalise a decent MCG crowd

    seems like the chicken little syndrome to me

    Yes, the rabbit terrine was fake news. I was there that day.

    English football players were told not to shake hands before games this weekend. 
    Pointless really but people Like to feel like they doing something. 
    I’ll be tapping elbows with everyone in the office tomorrow. Fist bumps too risky ?

    I'm in France, and all very serious here. We have over 1000 cases (including 4 MP's), and in some areas schools and non-essential services etc. are closed and people are advised to basically stay home. Expected to go onto the next level of protection and action in the coming days.

    Govt has banned any gathering over 1K people (down from 5K people a week or so ago), so sports authorities currently juggling closed door events and postponements where possible. Except that no-one's expecting this to go away soon, so postponement effectively = cancellation.

    I had a long autoroute trip on the weekend, and the display signs were all carrying virus-info: who to call to find out more or if you suspect symptoms, where to get news etc. We have very effective health and social services, so people at least feel that what should be done is being done.

    Bloody socialists, ay?

    Here, get a sniffle and you're out of work for two weeks because no doctor will see you to conduct the test in case they catch your cold and the state health minister is mean to them.

    Has Peter Bell furiously denied this yet ? 

    Quarantine Fremantle and the last team they played for Round 1.

    While games could be played at empty stadiums, players testing positive to the virus could derail the entire AFL season.

    Should we be concerned that Salem didn’t play on Friday due to illness? (I’m joking)

    The mass hysteria is truly worrying. You now can’t get toilet paper, tissue, sanitary products are hard to come by and diapers. I have a friend who’s 4 year old kid is currently dying from cancer and he couldn’t get diapers!
    People have so much worse things going on in their lives, yet we are seeing people punch on for a pack of Kleenex. 
     

    Expect round 1 to be played behind closed doors! 

    Government to ban large gatherings in the coming days.

    Corona is out there so its about limiting/slowing as its can not be contained any longer! 

     

    Fox Sports now reporting the Freo player has been identified.

    The results of panic and hysteria will be far worse worldwide than the virus itself. Humans eh, weak animals.

    I'm far more worried about the economic and financial ramifications of this virus, than the health ramifications if I'm being honest. 

    Most people will not die from this disease. However how many will lose their jobs,  their homes, their livelihoods... their ability to wipe their  [censored]...

    Big chance of most of that happening.

    I wouldn't be surprised if the government ban large gatherings. We're at the same point Italy were when they banned most gatherings. Sydney is quickly becoming a hot spot.

    Just want to say one thing to those saying it's nothing more than a flu. Sure, it has a mortality rate of about 3%, flu has around 1%. It's not that most people will have mild symptoms, it's that fact that our most vulnerable people have no way to combat it. The flu has killed more this year so far because everyone has it, but the sick and elderly can get vaccines to help build up their immunity to it. They can't with the coronavirus, with a vaccine could be as far away as 18 months. Think of all those people getting it and clogging up the health system. That's the problem; that's why health experts are worried and are putting extreme measures in place.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
