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.

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 ??????

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.

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

I didn't take too much notice of the finer points.Only interested in the Storm or NRL Stars.

 

Now I cannot find the story, which I read earlier today.

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

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
