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.

    And lose about 50% of supporters.

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
