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.

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
