Don't want to start a new thread, but have just heard from a source that one of our players is in quarantine....

If that were true, he would be currently being tested, and it would be huge news. I know for sure McClure or Morris would be desperate to name names the way they did with the Freo player.

Yes, massive interest indeed! Maybe it'll come out soon.

The person heard from the player's partner, who they work with. I'm just just the messenger!

I think we need to be careful about this sort of information but quarantine implies has the virus (which is unlikely) whilst a lot of people are self isolating if they have any flu or cold like symptoms. No doubt any player with a cough or sniffle will be asked to stay away from the group for now. 

Possibly that, R57 and agree we need to be careful around misinformation. Just passing on literally what I heard.

I won't name the player so as not to scuttlebutt.

    just bought a large fireproof combination steel safe

    now i can sleep at night knowing my bog rolls are safe and secure

    The Local supermarket is currently sans toilet tissue dc !

    A ridiculous situation as this corona virus thing would never be granted permission to enter the bucolic surrounds of Romsey 

     

    Its done...expect AFL to play round 1 behind closed doors as with other major events like conferences etc, Government telling all codes this behind closed doors at the moment so expect announcements closer to the dates as they don't want people to panic!

    We may  need a nostalgic return to the days of yore dc when a torn up newspaper had to suffice for those  specific ablutions.

    Off course good old Henry V111 had a more innovative solution   He employed a Royal ..... err .... wiper to do the job

    Wait, so the government is telling sporting codes to play behind closed doors, but the announcement won't be until next week? That doesn't add up as they're still selling tickets to those matches. The first indication of possible closures would be the halting of ticket sales. If it came out that the AFL knew they were to have no one in the stands, and continued to sell tickets before they announced it, they could have a big lawsuit on their hands if they didn't reimburse people.

    Also, if it is true, the only reason the government is waiting is because of the GP this week. It's the same reason they waited until all GP staff from Italy were here before banning people from Italy.

    Don't get me wrong, I think it will happen, but I think it is still a few weeks away.

    Fair point dc but she has been taking little pride in her work of late. 

    Wiping your ample rear would definitely be above her pay scale

    Hopefully it's Fritsch. He'll kick 15 goals round 1 - no WC defender will go near him.

    The don't want panic to happen as they don't want chaos to happen!

    You'll get refunded in full so don't stress re tickets but its a done deal but the government are trying to not have society breakdown  at this stage. 

    The NBA season seems to be doing fine with all games open to fans.  They have a hundred games a week too.

    Gil mclachlan needs to ignore the hysteria and get on with things as normal.

    Yes,  but the F1 grand Prix is going ahead this Sunday.

    I reckon the worst part about this virus is being put in lockdown if you have small children. 
     

    Forget stocking up on toilet paper, I’m going to go stock up on copious amounts of wine.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
