The alpha male of the herd?

 

I reckon Boris will appreciate the break so that he can heroically recover. He will come out of this well.

Spain has ordered a,most a billion A$ worth of tests.

Good idea but ironic as the supplier is China

The ministry said the deficient kits were not part of the new, €432m Chinese order, and had been bought before the Chinese authorities has issued its list of approved manufacturers. In recent days, Spanish health authorities have been urgently distributing almost 650,000 rapid testing kits to frontline medial staff and residence homes for older people.

The Guardian...

    I believe they postponed Expo West due to pressure being put on them from exhibitors and large suppliers (e.g. Well Well). There are certainly concerns, but perception and pandemonium  rule. There's a lot of food and beverage handling and tasting at that show, so that may well be the worry. My missus was there but came back the moment it was called off, more out of fear of not being able to get a seat home than the virus.

    Agree that the Disneyland situation is odd. Perhaps at Disney the greenback rules over everything else.

    since your report Disneyland as at March 20th is now closed as are all Disney resorts. There are no Expos now running all closed. Sandals resort and most of the other resorts are closed also. fyi

    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!

    This is rubbish.. If you make statements like this then name names otherwise do not comment untruths.

    Many assume it was Salem, who was confirmed as having glandular fever at the time, not COVID-19

     

    Of course Bernie E has sold the rights so he can say things like that.

    Other than the European winter it's a sport that can be rescheduled if there is a will. The problem they have is crowd revenue as I think it will be September minimum before big crowds are allowed to gather and of course flight restrictions. Perfect weather in the Gulf Sates over December January along with Sochi, Vietnam and Singapore and of course Melbourne.


    Where I am presently they make a large percentage of the world's surgical gloves and condoms.We are now in day 7 of a four week lockdown and I just read an article that the local condom maker who makes one in five of the world's condoms has ceased production due to the lockdown.

    They predict a worldwide shortage if they don't start up production.

    A League player has tested positive for it, played in a closed door game recently.

    This may actually be the worst thread in the history of Demonland.

    Is there an 'ignore' button for threads so I can not see it on the landing page?

    I have to agree with that.

    Too many trying to score political points and forgetting the issue at hand.

    Sit down, Dave. It took you two weeks to stand up. 

    You’ve clearly got time on your hands, so go back and read all my comments and its context. It was on the same day where there was debate about another player (from North I think) who was falsely named in the media. 

    I was strong on NOT naming the name I heard for that very reason. That’s kinda responsible, right? The source of this particular murmur was very close to the player apparently involved and I felt it relevant to the topic at the time and worth sharing on this site. 

    So it seems the player had another ailment and was isolated as a precaution. Probably a good move, given the [censored] was just starting to hit the fan with the biggest global health crisis in a century, its crippling effects to be felt in every area of every individuals lives for months, years, even generations. 

    Hindsight is a wonderful thing, isn’t it Dave?

    May be a renaissance of old school power forwards coming through next season.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon
