I understand but i think it’s ridiculous. 

The players aren’t even allowed to take their kids to the park. 

It’s not ridiculous: it is sensible and necessary. What do you want the whole competition closed down again? Because that is what you will get if we have another outbreak.

 

We are not dealing with the flu or a cold here: we are dealing with an incredibly infectious deadly epidemic for which there is no cure and currently no vaccine. We are all vulnerable, and l for one am immensely grateful that our state and federal governments are following the science and the medical advice and taking the cautious approach. Obviously we have some Trump disciples in our supporter base. Fortunately sanity prevails....

    Well NRL fans should have one more game of kissing and hugging that they do before all their tests come up positive and that will be the finish of their season.

    At least our blokes aren't the vice captain of their Club and they also have friends to visit.

    Can a rugby player contract the virus by urinating in their own mouth?

    This game was already hard to call with 3 young kids selected to play and Harley and Joel Smith not having played for a long time. This stupidity has just made it so much harder.

    Gotta hand it to Spargo.

    Puts in a round 1 performance at a level not seen since Isaac Weetra circa 2008.

    Then coerced our premier albeit young small forward into attending a house party via an Uber during pandemic -  hence robbing us a key piece of the puzzle in somehow jagging our first win in 11 months.

    I don’t think we’ll be seeing young Charles for a number of weeks.

    YEP Average player at best.

    Weeks? You won't see him again for the MFC.

    They are paid a huge salary that we contribute to so follow the simple f k n rules that have been put in place for you to continue to work.

    The worst part is when we lose, by a goal when ANB misses a set shot after the siren everyone will blame Kossi. 

    No only a small majority of miserable whiners on this board, who actually call themselves supporters, could possibly contemplate doing that

    Gee the infallibility quotient on this board is amazing

    Not one person [censored] up in their late teens early twenties

    Don't watch the game, another problem solved

    Me, disappointed in both players, they have worn the consequences, new soldier into the team to play a team game

    How many breaches of AFL protocol were displayed when Selwood kicked that goal in 3rd Qtr? I wonder if Kozzie and Charlie cuddled their friends during their indiscretion.

    Many people throwing barbs when I dare say most would have been the first to whinge about being in isolation

    Throwing barbs? Here are the rules for you to get paid and play the game... don’t mess up... 3 weeks later let’s get in an Uber and go to a party.... pppffttt 

    Young people will be young people, still not an excuse.

    Chin up. The game will still be on and I hope you can find a lot of enjoyment from Jackson, Bennell, Rivers, Jones on the HFF and King Nev. Good luck on the home front. Everything will keep improving.

    Actually, bizarre error of judgement. They must have know what they were doing, and the consequences. Why would you?

    Nibbler seemingly could not get a 'grip' last season. But has shown some positive signs earlier in the pre-season. Statistically not the worst performer in round 1 against the Eagles in Perth. In fact recall him kicking a smart snap goal from a crowded pack. At his best a solid team contributor at the coalface.

    You know Vic bias and all.. ?‍♂️

    Yes. 16 Crows players on a golf course. The punchline to the joke was no penalty. AFL makes up the rules on the run and flip flops.

    It’s probably dumb and dumber. An Uber to a non essential gathering. Not a hanging offence but suspension was likely.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
