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.

    "The NBA recently informed all 30 teams it may become necessary to play games in arenas without fans as a means of preventing the virus’ spread, and there’s a growing concern around the league that the plan will actually be enacted."

    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.

    • 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?
