I recommend that the AFL suspends the first two rounds.

Of course, it’s a co-incidence that we’re drawn to play two of the premiership favourites in those rounds.

and halve the points please !!?

    With everything that is developing as we speak, I won't be surprised if the AFL season is suspended in some form. Once a player has it, that's it. Game over.

    NBA season suspended; Rudy Gobert the first player to test positive confirmed

    Just days after he made a joke out of the whole thing and was going around touching all the reporters mics and recording equipment to 'prove' it was not a big deal... Yikes.

    "At a press conference Monday, Gobert attempted to make a point about overreaction and fear by touching everything in sight before he left. He leaned over and touched all of the microphones and recorders."

    To all those that downplay the number of people infected: this figure from WHO pretty much sums it up. Extrapolate this forwards a few weeks and see what you end up with.

    Yes - getting the virus will not be a big deal for most people. Yes - much of the panic is needless, ill-informed and counterproductive. But an outbreak like this is unprecedented in modern human history - that's why health professionals are sh*tting themselves. Interesting times ahead.

    Strange and confusing times, would be people hesitate to go to the footy in the first 3 rounds if the lockout was announced from R4 onwards? 

    Not sure if anyone on here is in panic mode yet but maybe some have altered their thinking on their approach to everyday living.

    The cash actually goes to the hosting team. In this case St Kilda. Will be interesting to see if Saints receive compensation. Loss of the million plus they get for playing in China would put a big hole in their revenue budget

    With over $6 mill loss each year what's smother mill the AFL will cover this leaking Clubp


    So an infected person went to the MCG Sunday for the cricket grand final, there seems to be updates every 10 minutes on this so with footy still a week away I will be very surprised if crowds are allowed to go

    Trump has done everything in his power to stay ahead of things including the first mandatory quarantine in the US in half a century.

    But orange man bad, am I right?

    I think Smokey summed it up quite well. 

    But I would be interested in the bolded part... could you please provide me with a link to something that provides a little more info on this mandatory quarantine, as I have google searched and found nothing at all. Maybe I'm just not good at googling?

    EDIT: I did find this which is hardly an example of staying ahead of things (every country was doing that and it doesn't explain his other later statements that virtually dismissed the virus as nothing too serious)... "In January the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued its first mandatory quarantine in more than half a century, keeping healthy Americans repatriated from Wuhan, China, originally the epicenter of the virus, isolated on an Air Force base for 14 days."

    Here is a scenario I see occurring as the reason crowds will be banned before round 1:

    Ball is kicked out of bounds into the stands, a fan with the virus picks it up and chucks it back onto the field, the player picks up the ball and recommences play. The ball is now infected with the virus and is being passed from player to player. Potentially, two entire teams could be infected from one ball going out of bounds.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
