I'm meant to be heading across to attend the game but think i'll give the airport a wide berth now for a few weeks!

Airports are so empty of late that they’re probably one of the safer places to be. And once on a flight, apparently the air conditioning uses 50% air from outside and the rest is filtered through the same filters used in operating theatres. So as long as you’re not seated close to someone coughing their lungs out and sending coronavirus particles your way, then no problem!

Absolutely 

i had a half full plane ✈️ last week

It was fabulous

 

The Premier Daniel Andrews has warned more schools are likely to be closed and there may be a prospect of the cancellation of football games and other sporting events, anywhere crowds gather together. What will we do? If the games continue without the fans in attendance, are you willing to risk your health and exercise your democratic rights to go to the games regardless? Will there be an uprising? Are we willing to die for our team?? I say stuff the coronavirus. I love the boys and I want to see them this year. Just when they are looking good! Premiership 2020 with or without a crowd. Go Demons.

If the AFL lock fans out of games I won't go out of protest


One thing is for sure - there won't be anyone throwing toilet rolls to celebrate a goal.  Though if things don't turn out too bad  later in the season some people may have an embarrassing number of rolls they wish to get rid of quickly.

Pretty sure I can think of other uses for them . . .

I agree fans of certain teams should be permanently locked out, virus or not.

Agree. Personally I would rather get the virus than sit next to a Collingwood fan.

Luckily in the redlegs section we don't have opposition fans.

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.

Sydney’s such a dirty place...

No more so than Melbourne.

I’m still not sure what has caused the toilet paper, tissues etc stampede.

Makes sense. The bigger the ars*hole, the more toilet paper required. 

Cant help but wonder how the umpiring would change in WA sans fans.

Vivid memories of the essendon supporters spitting on the Melbourne players as they walked up the race at half time

That's disgusting. Instead of being out injured the following week, the poor players had probably caught some unspeakable disease.

You're right. Can't afford to let anyone catch the virus from having some low life spit on them. ?

That is a very good point. I have tickets to next week’s game but would rather not go and get the W

I would find it hollow and unforfilling if the Dees won the flag after a season of no crowds and a Granny in an empty stadium.

4 points is not the main reason why I follow the Dees.

Imagine how Liverpool must be feeling....

Since there's 20 or so cases in Vic at the moment I think I'd take my chances.

Everyone on here shakes their heads at the doomsday preppers, but I bet many of us have recently purchased something we didn't immediately need, out of concern that it might not be available next supermarket trip. 

Yep because when the shelves are empty day after day, when you see something you just grab it. 
 

I’m asking everyone to bring me toilet paper as wedding presents. Forget the cash people. I need toilet paper!

Not exactly true, and then there is the Hospitality boxes at the back. One was full of Woods supporters during a QB game and they had the front windows open and were giving us an earful. That was until we came back and won in the last qtr. They closed the windows.

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

  • GAMEDAY: West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

  • FEATURE: 1925

    A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
