    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • 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.
