    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.

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
