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.

You might well be right there 'bin'...

...but a lot of flights have also been cancelled. Virgin will be looking to fly only viable (full) routes.

    We will 100% win a flag... that none of us can watch 

    If you offered me the flag this year I wouldn’t be all that excited in taking it, if every single game including the Grand final were lock outs.

    If the season goes that far & we win it I will be ecstatic...some light in a dark year.

    It would suck and sour it a little, but I would take it.

    The AFL is in a good spot to accelerate Round 2. Why wouldn’t Collingwood vs Richmond and Carlton vs Western Bulldogs be brought forward to next Wednesday and Thursday night? They all play in the next 48 hours. Take advantage. ---- Sam Landsberger

    I would like our boys to play Freo on Tuesday/Wednesday.

    Reduce travel required for all (and fly back with 8 points!)

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

    Those players all go home....

    Yes, but i'm suggesting he caught it away from his club and team.  Possibly caught it at home SWYL.

    Incubation period is way more than 24 - 30 hours.

    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....

    Who tested positive after playing?

    Yes, but he is still a carrier playing a contact sport with 30 people in an enclosed space. 
    it is just crazy for these games to go ahead at this point in time. 
    Countries are locking down borders, but The AFL and NRL roll on. 
    Thailand today locked down all stadiums for 2 weeks, i am sure it will be extended. They are just getting serious now

    Should government continue?   Should hospitals continue.    Should emergency services continue?

    I think we will catch CoVid 19,  wherever we find it.  At home or at play.

    Yes to the Government , Hospitals and Emergency Services. They are paramount. 
    Football is not. 
    It’s entertainment and as soon as the crowds were banned the whole thing should be suspended. 
     

    The easiest way to catch this Corona is through prolonged personal contact. 
    That’s our game...

    Probably because the two players are confirmed as negative to Covid19.

    I'm not unhappy the AFL has gone ahead, gives us some hope and something new to read.

    I'm also over the sensationalist reporting of this current epidemic.

    It's what has brought on the panic buying and increased fear.  It is something we've never faced before I agree

    I don't see how banning kids from Community football has made them safer than attending school with 500-1000 kids in close proximity.

    and I don't see how the players health is under any bigger threat by playing football than the general publics would be by attending packed shopping centres or traveling on public transport on mass.

    The players playing or not, isn't going to lead us to the scenario which is occurring in Italy or Iran currently

    COVID is not the name of the virus.  The name of the virus is coronavirus.  COVID-19 is the disease the virus causes.

    Which NRL player tested positive for Coronavirus?

    No NRL player as far as is public knowledge. The story was about an amateur rugby player. 

    It highlighted the fact that you can feel fine, play one day and the next day test positive. In a contact sport there is the very real possibility that you just infected your teammates and opposition and support staff. 

    They then spread to family and friends. 

    Every other aspect of life is being told not to be in this situation

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
