    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.

    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: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
