Sorry, but if they can’t play a game like that in front of maybe 300 people, then the  first couple of rounds of AFL have to be postponed or cancelled.

Watch this space. Could well happen.

What a joke panicking over the flu. The people that are dying are the sick and elderly. The normal people suffer because of it. As usual another media scare tactic.

Anyone would think in contraction you'd die and want to eat brains.

Happy to write off the very elderly stuck in nursing homes with poor quality of life, they've had a good run. But would rather my parents be around for a while yet. And the sick includes a whole bunch of people who have long and productive lives in front of them.

We should all do what we can to stop the spread. A casey practice match isn't much to give up.

Seems a bit OTT to be be cancelling a practice match if no players/staff are exhibiting symptoms or could be at risk. I get them wanting to protect the players (and that’s a good thing) but surely this wouldn’t be that high a risk.
