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!

    Sounds more like financial advice rather than medical advice.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
