    Hard to see Gillon not getting his way at this stage...

    All 18 clubs urge AFL to push ahead with Round 1 as announcement looms

    I know i am in the minority, but this is crazy. 
    but i will watch those crunching tackles and see the odd bit of saliva flying through the air...

    Got to please the sponsors i suppose, and all those betting agencies

    A terribly difficult decision for the commission. There is club and player support. Assuming the health aspect is ticked off. They’re most likely weighing up iffy optics on playing, compared to international sports, against the devestating financial effects of a break ---- Tom Browne

    Devastating financial effects outweighs optics IMO - assuming the government and medical fraternity believe it's ok to play.

    I am sympathetic to your views also, and at the risk of trolling also think in these times, the Top level AFL will be a huge comfort to many as the only link to normalcy. Aussie rules has a major sociological impact, even to those not interested.

    It must however only be done if safe.

    Two examples, again, not related to the current situation or comparable, but to illustrate  (sort of) the game's use:

    1. In World War 2, the Australia forces attack on the Italians lines in Libya commenced with the assies kicking a football into no-man's-land as a signal to attack.

    Just an example.

    2. Another is Chicken Smallhorn winning the Changi Brownlow.

    You can bet Collingwood, and Richmond will get the blockbusters as home games next year, they will cry to the AFL that they took a huge financial hit from this year, the MFC voice is dumb.

    Not AFL related but a case for not playing during COVID-19

    Dozens warned to 'remain vigilant' as Sydney rugby player tests positive for COVID-19, having shown symptoms the day after a match.

    Teammates, opponents and officials face 14 days of self-isolation and a nervous wait for themselves and their families after a Sydney University rugby player returned a positive test for COVID-19.

    The Sydney Morning Herald reports the player took part in the Australian Club Championship on Saturday.

    The player began showing symptoms on Sunday.

    And that is how you will know why any "concerns" they express will be rehearsed garbage.

    Clubs would know already what is happening and all signs are they are getting ready to play. I'm sure the AFL want to roll out a more comprehensive plan and hence are taking a little more time ... including some positive news on ways for members and supporters can watch the games

    I know its totally selfish, but geez i hope they play.

    Its not just me is it?

    Letting ‘optics’ decide whether the football season commences tomorrow is such a bad look.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • GAMEDAY: Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
