    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.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
