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!

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
