Poor AFL just got reminded they arn't above the law,  by all accounts SA would have come to the party if the AFL discussed it with them.  But being the arrogant organisation they are they just assumed it would work out the way they wanted.

 

A good return to earth moment for the AFL,  in a couple of weeks SA will let them have the exemptions, just making them sweat a bit.

 

My opinion anyways

    What a mess... can't even get the training protocols in line let alone playing matches.

    AFL must be tempted to say.. everyone in Melbourne for the foreseeable future and we will review after six weeks.

    Otherwise it's a hub in Melbourne and a hub in Sydney or Brisbane for all interstate teams. That gets you seven weeks of matches before any team is required to move.

    Time to solve this fiasco. Gil... you are paid to lead.. there comes a time when consultation has to stop

    That is honestly one of the dumbest things I’ve heard from a politician, right up there with Trump. So his answer is that the entire competition and put all other 16 clubs into a quarantine hub just to suit his states rules and TWO of 18 clubs. 

    What a muppet.

    If he'd open up his borders then Vic teams would be able to go there, at the moment they can't.

    Do you really think the AFL haven't been in consultation with all state health departments?

    in reality probably not. To go to five states while you were working out the detail plus potentially Tasmania and NT would have been a nightmare.

    Sure they would have been working with Victoria on a model protocol which they would have then shared with the other states.They would have also been guided by the agreed NRL protocol.

    The first rule of coronavirus is that there are no more rules. 

    Its all one big learning curve,  for the world.

    And the 1st rule is to act swiftly,  do not wait to take measures to quell it.

    Also I would not want to spend 3 hours on a plane,  with someone who might/might-not,  be about to become A symptomatic.   Going over there or back again.

    Bring them East to settle for a bit,  and shorter/quicker travels, to & fro games.

    So does McGowan think that keeping WA borders closed is leverage for forcing all other clubs to form a hub in Perth, thus reaping the economic and competitive advantage?! And now he’s having a sook because no one’s buying it. If he just made FIFO exemptions for AFL teams (and SA), everything would be hunky-dory; but no, he wants to play brinkmanship. While they’ve been open the whole time for hundreds of FIFO mining and defence workers. What a fool- he’s now essentially forcing his two state teams into a situation they don’t want.

    I agree with him...

    The AFL talk a level playing field.

    Then they need to create a hub in a neutral region with all clubs in it together.

    Personally though I don't see the season being completed...

    No, I don't think he sees football as being his major objective even though he's had a shot at the AFL.

    He's thinking of the health and wellbeing of his citizens over the AFL.

    Good for him.

    I mean who would trust a bunch of footballers to abide by the rules????

    Just curious if people are actually looking forward to the footy coming back this year? Right at the moment I really couldn’t give a stuff about this year and the thought of watching Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond every week for the next five years is also sickening.

    Travy14 I think SA would be in if the stupid Adelaide players hadn't broken the quarantine rules. All Marshall is doing is punishing the Adelaide clubs. I say self inflicted wounds.

    On the other hand in WA, McGowan is setting out to prove what many really think about him.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
