    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.

     

    Totally different circumstances. You cannot compare this to anything else. 
    Meanwhile an NRL player has tested positive AFTER playing a game...

    That’s how this virus ? spreads

    It is irresponsible madness to start the season now. 
     

    People have to rediscover books for awhile....

    Inside 24hrs following NRL game... means he was infected,  prior to the game.   Probably a couple of days Pre-game.

    Generally yes. However I'll cut them some slack on this one; rapidly evolving situation, multitude of different perspectives to take into account.

    25 hours out from the first bounce and Carlton still haven’t been officially told they are playing.

    Still think it favours the it's off narrative...if it was on they would have told us by now.

    Letting the CEO's who wanted it the reason they can't have it.

    I reckon you're on the money here. This is the second meeting with the CEOs. Sounds like it was on after the first. The Commission met and then they meet the CEOs again presumably to tell them that it's off first before the media.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
