    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
