    no contact outside your approved bubble. Every players living environment has been approved.

    Not sure if they are even allowed out for food shopping

    Would be tough on young red blooded men. I hope their visit to their ‘friend’ was enjoyable

    Its a strange thing when AFL players have to keep stricter rules than the rest of society. I just picked up daughter from her train trip home, we then went to the IGA to stock up for tonight's game, joining several other people who were doing the same... all legal I believe!

    Unfortunately you’re not a multimillion $$$ industry/game (lol) supporting thousands of people ww.

    If you loose an emergency player, aren't you allowed to replace them with another?

    I thought the team lists were relatively flexible until about 24hrs out from the match. Given the unusual year we’re having maybe we could ask for flexibility to make change particularly as it’s 2 players from the squad.

    Guys, he’s played one senior game. There are 21 other players out there, if we can’t beat the blues without him, we’re in for a tough year.

    They lost Silvagni too, it’s about the same impact. 2 goals a game.

    Their “mates” came up on an app, were hot, they swiped right (is that correct?) so they decided to go for a visit.....

    (not factual at all)

    I’m not complaining but why would Spargo get 2. What was the difference?

    So you're saying multimillion dollar industries are somehow more important than me when it comes to making laws to protect the citizens from Covid 19!

    Sorry to burst the bubble but it does appear so....

    Spargo went to his mates, then left to go to the servo for a packet of durries and went back again.

    Breach??? 
    16 Crows players all breached the rules as well as the coaches. Their excuse? None, “we got it wrong”.  And their punishment?? Be more careful next time.  It’s ridiculous 

  • Quote

    The club self-reported.  I wonder what the AFL penalty will be for those that don't self-report?  Footballers being footballers I can see a lot more breaches coming up for all clubs.

    I don't really get how they can play in the practice match? What is the actual reason for the suspension? It would make sense if it was the risk of exposing someone else and they were now isolating but this seems pretty stupid.

    I would assume the difference would relate to their respective ages and level of experience in a professional football environment.

    Spargo is entering his third year in the AFL- absolutely no excuse for being so blaze about the rules.

    Pickett can at least point to the stupidity of youth and inexperience.

    The practice matches unlike VFL are unsanctioned... you can't be reported etc etc

    Aside from covid issues, I hope the fags were just curiosity or temporary lapse. I bought a pack for the first time in 5 years last night after too many beers. Had a few predictably digusting puffs and then through the packet in the bin. Bloody waste of money.

    Spargo being a regular smoker might explain why he doesn't have the energy to kick it 30m!

    Smoking is now solely the domain of the super-wealthy.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
