    I honestly think we've started to regress as a race Demonstone. This outbreak of idiocy is spreading far quicker than any virus. 

    seems like the chicken little syndrome to me

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

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
