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?

  • Quote

    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....

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
