    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: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
