this is the bad news message before they announce that the afl will be going 'full bernie' and taking all revenue in the game, distributing it evenly between 18 clubs in order for them to survive

about time the afl went full socialist rather than the half-measures of salary cap, soft cap, and other some restrictive measures

    Many would argue they were full socialist already 

    And thank Christ for that Moon. 

    Even embraced by ScoMo and his mates. Even The Donald. 

    Not a peep from the usual media bottom lickers. 

    Funny how we have half the population who now think that welfare is well.....fair, now they are in the queue or may be. 

    Suddenly free trade can be seen for what it is and protectionism does not look so bad. 

    Economic growth is one thing but humanity is another. If we do not have a society that cares for one another, we do not have a society. 

    Great to hear the AFL and clubs talking as one and supporting the unchanged state of the Clubs.

    The old die (redistributing wealth), universal basic wage of $1500 fortnightly, nationalisation of the private hospitals and now free child care!

    As I've said before: coronavirus has managed to do what Bernie Sanders could not!!! (albeit in Australia)

    I wonder what his view would be if Collingwood were not one of the favourites?

    Just say for example they were in Carlton's position...

    Would a navy blue flag have an "asterisk" Ed?

    We can only dream of having a comp as strong as the EPL .Not only are most continuing to pay all staff full wages the stronger clubs are paying match day staff (ticket collectors etc) for missed matches.

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/apr/02/pay-cuts-furlough-or-deferrals-what-are-the-premier-league-clubs-doing

    Of coarse that it helps that the government is paying 80% of everyone's wages for 6 months!  Then they have private owners with deep pockets.  But what I have read in the past that many of the clubs are massively in debt in the 10's of millions, so maybe not the best model.

    Yes, but the 50% pay cut so far is only for a few months, so his $1mill becomes about $850k.

    Poor guy... thoughts and prayers

    Forget about season 2020, at this stage there will be no season 2021, 18 team AFL is finished, the AFl will keep all interstate sides and maybe 5 Victorian sides and 1 in Tasmania, a vaccine is 12 months away, and another 12 months before enough are made   to vaccinate the population.

    Some people are handling this isolation better than others.

    My missus is becoming hysterical, running around the house and banging on windows and doors.

    Tomorrow, I might let her in.

    Give it another few weeks and people will not tolerate the destruction of everything to 'save lives'.

    If this goes on for even 3 months then there will mass civil disobedience. 

    First to mass will be football fans united to demand the government call off the collective social suicide for our own good plan which is working a treat.

    I'm elderly...over 60 ....I would rather die than see my club go under.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
