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.

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

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.

Sending a massive thank you to @Demonlandfor keeping this thread updated the past few days with every morsel of news. 

Info has been appearing on here within minutes of being published elsewhere, and it’s been a huge time-saver to have it all contained in the one spot. 

Bravo ??????

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.

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....

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

The reality is every time a player gets a sniffle which will be more and more as the colder weather sets in they will have to be isolated and tested until tested negative or positive. 

I truly can't see this season, even shortened and crowdless, being viable.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
