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...

  • Thank You Simon Goodwin

    As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

  • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

  • REPORT: West Coast

    The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

  • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

    With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
