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.

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
