I agree that it would be fair for us to get the four points. Their player stuffed up. End of story. Could not get a more natural consequence.

That said i hope we don't because i want to watch us beat Essendon and build our percentage (note: i reserve the right to revisit this if we lose)

bombers mate of mine reckons dees need to call a wahhhhhhhmbulance such is our complaining when she spotted this

i told her to go inject a virus

Could not be more ironic given the whining from Matthew Lloyd about how unfair it would be for the bombers to have to play this week. particularly given the terrible circumstances they unwittingly found themselves in with all that nasty drug stuff. Poor things.

I haven't watched any of the footy shows this year, including FC (i have done previously). Might tonight to watch Matty cry

PLAN ?

Given it would appear the season will derail in the next 4-8 weeks, at that point we start again with all teams in a hub for two weeks, play AFL X style games on a round robin basis, declare a premier and give them a plastic trophy? 

At least you'd have a level playing field, with a justified winner; even if it would be crappy to watch. And we've got runs on the board already....

strangely enough if the AFL hadn't stuffed up AFLX it would have made an ideal comp this year at lower levels.

The current plan seems to be attempting to make the situation fair for Essendon and therefore (unintentionally) making it unfair for us. Why should we be disadvantaged by their mistake.

There have been enough mistakes on the part of Essendon, their player and the AFL to entitle us to the 4 points. If it happened to Collingwood, Eddie would already have a foot in the door of the Supreme Court over this.

This is absurd.  Practice in groups of 9 for tackling but be sure not to put all your defenders etc in a single group for fear they will all have to isolate.  Then tackle like mad during matches.  LOL

Call it all off...

I note in that AGE article it states:
The league also reiterated to clubs that games would likely go ahead even if clubs lost several players, effectively placing the onus on clubs to keep their players COVID-free by following protocols.

Following this policy, it seems to me that since Essendon effectively lost 22 players on Sunday, the game should have gone ahead, so we should have played and boosted our percentage nicely.

You know that policy is only for non TV rating clubs such as ourselves. Essendon etc are special

It's a bit like when a player like Selwood or Ablett is investigated for striking, and commentators fall over themselves declaring "aw gee, he wouldn't have meant to knock his block off". Then when May does it, it's "he's known for doing this kind of thing!!"

Some more Animal Farm for you: everyone is equal but some are more equal.

The Dons are more equal than us and the only remedy is to knock their blocks off, repeatedly.

not sure how this can work unless they let  "virus ridden" Victorian football teams in without quarantine.

No team could be expected to do a two week quarantine mid season...surely

I agree. We shouldn't be.

But i still want to watch us play the bombers.

I spoke to my happy Garry Baker avatar and he reckons the more games him and i get to watch this wretched season the better.

Lets say we play them on a Wednesday night. Play our next game on a Monday night and then another on the following Sunday.

It will be awesome. A Demon fiesta.

I wonder how much worse  a tackle is for virus transfer compared to handling an 'infected' ball.    19 touches worse than 2 tackles?

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
