    the AFL are going to keep the Docklands roof open so they don't fall foul of the 100 people inside an indoor venue rule.

    Crown casino considers each of its rooms a venue so you just put sets of ten people in a sponsors box and problem solved.

    If you're a MFC Member you should have received an email with a unique code and the offer of a Kayo Subscription for $2.50 a month for two months.

    there is a commitment in both directions. if it happened it would be the afl contractually breaking their commitment first. It's not a question of a state honouring a commitment but one of whether a contract has been breached.

    major effected place is obviously tasmania  and their new confinement rules means it won't get to that stage. this leaves darwin, alice springs and i think bendigo.

    But it Tassy denied us entry to the state, or NT dienies us entry..  then surely they'd be breaching the contract.?

    CHARTER FLIGHTS, MASKS ON PLAYERS FOR COVID-19 AVOIDANCE

    Fremantle players have been spotted wearing masks at Perth Airport, one of the many measures AFL clubs are taking to avoid coronavirus while travelling this weekend.

    Six clubs are flying interstate - Fremantle, Geelong, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney and Port Adelaide - and all have taken or will take charter flights to avoid exposure.

    They’ll also be housed on dedicated floors at their hotels.

    This is an utterly ridiculous situation. We will have a positive result from an AFL player inside of a week and a half and then the league will be suspended for a month at their own admission. 
     

    What gets the league back going again? Right now we should be ramping up testing and tracing and getting on top of this and then starting our bloody football games. What a terrible example for young people who will be the reason we may struggle to get on top of this in the next couple months.

    Are others struggling with this? The game is disintegrating rapidly.

    I find it a welcome distraction from the constant doom and gloom now being pumped out 24 hours a day.

    If anything it reminds me that it is merely a game to be enjoyed. Sure it probably will only last a few more rounds but lets savour it while we can.

    Had the same thoughts when they decided to go ahead with the season D_J. I’m glad some are getting enjoyment out of it so far, I’m just left confused every time I read an AFL article and how new protocols are in place after a game. Avoid unnecessary touching after exchanging sweat for 2 hours? 

    Maybe i just simply need to watch our team again to get back to normality.

    Totally agree 'rpfc'...

    I think it will be a miracle if we get as far as tomorrow before it's called off.

    Players are not isolating themselves, I've seen selfies taken last night on Facebook (not our player but the way).

    ...and by the standard of the games to date it's pretty obvious that even though they voted to play subconsciously their heart is not in it.

    There's about as much pressure as you see in match simulation at training.

    That rises occasionally to the level of practice match pressure.

    I think we all need to be a little mindful of how we reply to other peoples opinions. For those that are cooped up indoors online chat might be the closest thing to an interaction they're going to have in the short term so slapping them down, even if what they say is a bit kooky, may not be the best way to respond. Just make sure you spell everything properly or I really will start to lose my sh@t!

    Now I've really lost it. You forgot the apostrophe in "people's"

    He's right. It's like being told that it's ok to have morning sex but not kiss the other person goodbye before you head off to work.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
