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. 

 

Thank christ I have something to do on the weekend!!

take that COVID! you self-replicating mofo

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: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
