    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • 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?
