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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
