    the AFL are going to keep the Docklands roof open so they don't fall foul of the 100 people inside an indoor venue rule.

    Crown casino considers each of its rooms a venue so you just put sets of ten people in a sponsors box and problem solved.

    If you're a MFC Member you should have received an email with a unique code and the offer of a Kayo Subscription for $2.50 a month for two months. 

    Hhmmm didn’t see that.

    there is a commitment in both directions. if it happened it would be the afl contractually breaking their commitment first. It's not a question of a state honouring a commitment but one of whether a contract has been breached.

    major effected place is obviously tasmania  and their new confinement rules means it won't get to that stage. this leaves darwin, alice springs and i think bendigo.

    But it Tassy denied us entry to the state, or NT dienies us entry..  then surely they'd be breaching the contract.?

    CHARTER FLIGHTS, MASKS ON PLAYERS FOR COVID-19 AVOIDANCE

    Fremantle players have been spotted wearing masks at Perth Airport, one of the many measures AFL clubs are taking to avoid coronavirus while travelling this weekend.

    Six clubs are flying interstate - Fremantle, Geelong, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Port Adelaide - and all have taken or will take charter flights to avoid exposure.

    They’ll also be housed on dedicated floors at their hotels.

    This is an utterly ridiculous situation. We will have a positive result from an AFL player inside of a week and a half and then the league will be suspended for a month at their own admission. 
     

    What gets the league back going again? Right now we should be ramping up testing and tracing and getting on top of this and then starting our bloody football games. What a terrible example for young people who will be the reason we may struggle to get on top of this in the next couple months.

    Are others struggling with this? The game is disintegrating rapidly.

    I find it a welcome distraction from the constant doom and gloom now being pumped out 24 hours a day.

    If anything it reminds me that it is merely a game to be enjoyed. Sure it probably will only last a few more rounds but lets savour it while we can.

    Had the same thoughts when they decided to go ahead with the season D_J. I’m glad some are getting enjoyment out of it so far, I’m just left confused every time I read an AFL article and how new protocols are in place after a game. Avoid unnecessary touching after exchanging sweat for 2 hours? 

    Maybe i just simply need to watch our team again to get back to normality.

    Totally agree 'rpfc'...

    I think it will be a miracle if we get as far as tomorrow before it's called off.

    Players are not isolating themselves, I've seen selfies taken last night on Facebook (not our player but the way).

    ...and by the standard of the games to date it's pretty obvious that even though they voted to play subconsciously their heart is not in it.

    There's about as much pressure as you see in match simulation at training.

    That rises occasionally to the level of practice match pressure.

    I think we all need to be a little mindful of how we reply to other peoples opinions. For those that are cooped up indoors online chat might be the closest thing to an interaction they're going to have in the short term so slapping them down, even if what they say is a bit kooky, may not be the best way to respond. Just make sure you spell everything properly or I really will start to lose my sh@t!

    Now I've really lost it. You forgot the apostrophe in "people's"

    He's right. It's like being told that it's ok to have morning sex but not kiss the other person goodbye before you head off to work.

    • 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?
