How many WA players do we have that are over there? I hope they will be making the best use of it they can.

    If we are serious about using the hubs to keep the players safe, then Darwin and Alice should be two hubs considering the virus has been pretty much eliminated here

    Has it really?

    Didn't realised that 100% of Territorians have been tested.

    The testing figures are not necessarily a true reflection on who actually has it

    Not necessarily, but up here they are due to the very small number of cases, all coming from overseas and having limited to no contact with others in community. No cases of community transmission here.

     

    but hey, be a [censored] about it

    Weren't the territory govt (and federal) concerned about keeping the virus out of vulnerable communities. Very tight control imposed to ensure safety.

    Still are, we have police and military manned checkpoints in and out of Alice, without the right paperwork you can’t get through.

     

    Had Uluru to myself last Friday, was amazing!

    Military armed? Some states and territories are really ensuring Collingwood supporters are kept out.

    Seriously, it is really necessary to keep indigenous communities free of another disease for which they have no resistance. Keep up the security.

    Yes, that's why a NT hub is highly unlikely

    A wonderfully cerebral article from the Guardian....

    The peak-end rule is a heuristic method whereby people judge an experience on how they felt at its peak and at its end, rather than some amalgam of the whole. Consequently, with the right spin, we may find ourselves so overjoyed at the return of sporting endeavour that it warps our perception of what preceded it.

    Don’t worry the league boys still have them covered. The Cleary story unfolding today has been hilariously stupid.

    No, military not armed, police and feds are to differing degrees.

     

    If it gets into communities, the death rate will be world news.

     

    that said, with precautions in place, anyone with a clue of this part of the world could see that it is an ideal location for an AFL hub, they could start this weekend provided broadcasters staff also go into hub!

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
