this is the bad news message before they announce that the afl will be going 'full bernie' and taking all revenue in the game, distributing it evenly between 18 clubs in order for them to survive

about time the afl went full socialist rather than the half-measures of salary cap, soft cap, and other some restrictive measures

    And thank Christ for that Moon. 

    Even embraced by ScoMo and his mates. Even The Donald. 

    Not a peep from the usual media bottom lickers. 

    Funny how we have half the population who now think that welfare is well.....fair, now they are in the queue or may be. 

    Suddenly free trade can be seen for what it is and protectionism does not look so bad. 

    Economic growth is one thing but humanity is another. If we do not have a society that cares for one another, we do not have a society. 

    Great to hear the AFL and clubs talking as one and supporting the unchanged state of the Clubs.

    i didn't realise that socialists make every decision based on maximising profits ?

    The old die (redistributing wealth), universal basic wage of $1500 fortnightly, nationalisation of the private hospitals and now free child care!

    As I've said before: coronavirus has managed to do what Bernie Sanders could not!!! (albeit in Australia)

    I wonder what his view would be if Collingwood were not one of the favourites?

    Just say for example they were in Carlton's position...

    Would a navy blue flag have an "asterisk" Ed?

    We can only dream of having a comp as strong as the EPL .Not only are most continuing to pay all staff full wages the stronger clubs are paying match day staff (ticket collectors etc) for missed matches.

    https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/apr/02/pay-cuts-furlough-or-deferrals-what-are-the-premier-league-clubs-doing

    Of coarse that it helps that the government is paying 80% of everyone's wages for 6 months!  Then they have private owners with deep pockets.  But what I have read in the past that many of the clubs are massively in debt in the 10's of millions, so maybe not the best model.

    Yes, but the 50% pay cut so far is only for a few months, so his $1mill becomes about $850k.

    Forget about season 2020, at this stage there will be no season 2021, 18 team AFL is finished, the AFl will keep all interstate sides and maybe 5 Victorian sides and 1 in Tasmania, a vaccine is 12 months away, and another 12 months before enough are made   to vaccinate the population.

    Some people are handling this isolation better than others.

    My missus is becoming hysterical, running around the house and banging on windows and doors.

    Tomorrow, I might let her in.

    Give it another few weeks and people will not tolerate the destruction of everything to 'save lives'.

    If this goes on for even 3 months then there will mass civil disobedience. 

    First to mass will be football fans united to demand the government call off the collective social suicide for our own good plan which is working a treat.

    I'm elderly...over 60 ....I would rather die than see my club go under.

    • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

      The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

      It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

      The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

      The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

      Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
