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.

I just think get as many games in now while the virus is still under control.

    Probably an unpopular opinion, BUT if the season were to be pushed back enough that the MCG wasn't available for the Grand Final then I think this is a rare instance where it should be then played at the largest home ground of the highest finishing winner of the qualifying/preliminary finals. Meaning (for example) last years Grand Final would be played at either the SCG or the Olympic Stadium. Last years would still be at the G, but it would be an interesting opportunity for interstate teams to have the Grand Final.

    I'm all for tradition, and I firmly believe the Grand Final's traditional home at the MCG should remain. But for these extraordinary circumstances, Marvel Stadium should not be the default next venue in line.

    Exactly, that's advice they are taking right now that the virus is not at it's worst so better to try to get games in now while they can than delay and have uncertainty on when/if the season will start.

    Stating the bleeding obvious but it makes early wins absolutely massively important!

    Well that was a ride and a half. Table now booked at The Rose. Let's hope they have a nice autumnal red ale on tap.

    Unless the Tigers relocated to Sydney at some stage last September I think last years GF would've still been played at MCG.

    Otherwise I agree.

    What are you on about?

    i think the AFL have made a very poor decision based on money and not Human Welfare. 
    it’s my opinion and i am happy to state it. 
    Borders are being locked down worldwide, but The AFL decides to keep on go going.

    Someone has to support our finest hostelries in their hour of need DS. I might also grab a good book at Happy Valley on Smith St on the way there before they have to close their doors indefinitely at 5pm.

    Crown staying open is the high of greed, if ever there was a reason to close those cesspit casinos this would be it. You watch, schools and everything else will be closed but crown will still operate.

    If we are there won't be many others on it i reckon. No one is going anywhere and all meetings and events are pretty much cancelled.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
