AFL loves being in the news so this is probably manna from heaven for them. Delay, delay, delay.... find a scapegoat because you are too weak to make a decision and wear the negative blowback... announce season will be delayed and say its all about player/staff safety (When, if this was their priority, would have led to a delay announcement several days ago).

Upset "broadcast partners"

Upset "Gaming partners"

Money.

Still, i hope the season starts tomorrow, just because im selfish.

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

    So what. He would have passed it on during the game in all probability 

    Those players all go home....

    16.5 minute quarters. 

    17 Rounds

    Shorter quarters will favor less-fit clubs, bad for Melbourne unfortunately.

    All those efforts by the fitness staff to get our boys to a point that no one else could go to. I wonder if they will alter the way they go about things to allow us to go harder in the shorter bursts.

    But good if they push multiple games in a short period of time

    Random question on the shortened quarters, what is that meant to achieve? Is that under the assumption that at some point they will be forced to cram more games into less time so therefor recovery time will be shorter?

    Sweet. But gee they took there time making the decision. I assume we would already have had a flight booked in case it did go ahead. Well get there, bring the 4 points home and for goodness sake stay safe and healthy.

    Potentially - yes.

    Season might have to go on hold at some point(s) so having the quarter and game length shortened from the start ensures consistency throughout the entire season (if we get there).

    There may be times where we'd have to play 3 games within 2 weeks for example.

    I don't understand why you wouldn't cram games in after Round 1?

    They might try, but it's utter nonsense. If we stop after 1,2, 4 or 6 games and have a 8-16 week lay off what does it matter? 

    Stop when it's safe to stop and if we have to play September to December then do that.

    If we can't get restarted at all then so be it.

    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....

    Says the man posting like crazy about the topic on the internet...

    • 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.
