I assume you already know the answer

I assume we have one Essendon player in 14 day quarantine which no one really knows if he should be or not and no effect to the general public, which surely is what Qld is about.

State premiers are running around behaving like despots. This is a complete farce. AFL teams get tested twice a week. Today the Vic figure is 75 and yesterday 49 in population of 6.6 million. There are 2088 confirmed cases in victoria and 3100 in NSW. It is a joke.

QLD are really starting to [censored] me off. Their premier is doing so much damage to their economy. She is a complete nervous Nelly.

 

And promoting coal mining through Adani and big Clive.  Ridiculously supporting burning fossil fuels !!  They just need to have Vic team fly in and fly out same day with compulsory testing for each day for 3 days and prior to game

Active cases are more relevant to the current situation.

I'll add this, I could understand the Qld gov. position if there was a reported case of a member of the public contracting the virus from contact with a player or official from the AFL but there isn't.

351 in NSW and 250 in Vic.

All sounds good but...

Check out what's happened with the Warriors.

...by the way what a class act the Storm are..

Have great admiration for Bellamy, Smith and Hoffman.

As an aside that was one of the most amazing things I've seen from a professional sporting organisation. The Storm really are a well run operation. 

I really wish it didn’t seem inevitable that we will play them back into form and lose by 5 goals. I really do.

Easy answer, just do the rest of the draw with 16 teams, leaving Brisbane and Gold Coast out. Let them take it up with their Govt

You are not alone Pman!

The obvious answer is for Brisbane & Gold Coast to move south for the foreseeable future - No games in QLD

 

 

Edit: If other state premiers play hard ball move all clubs to Victoria. They could play at MCG, Docklands, Geelong, Casey, Princes Park etc.

Edited by ManDee

If either side kicks 6 goals they are guaranteed the win

This is such a horrible event, we have people complaining the last couple of weeks about "chairman Dan Andrews" and how he has been too slow to "open things up again". They do that and cases go up again, while people are getting stuck into other Premiers looking after their states. They can't win.

 

It is so hard as there is just so much at stake from a jobs, livelihoods stand point but I'd rather be safe than Florida.

Would be a good time to get the Tigers IMO. They have been ordinary since the restart.

We will play them into form you can count on that

Of course some in the Northern states who can't stand Smith, Bellamy and Storm found it condescending.

Always looking for the negative.

It was a great gesture and I'm sure it was taken in the right way by the players.

only reason this season is going on is cos of broadcast $$ to keep clubs afloat

And that is why anything is on the table, as the season is on a knife’s edge. We are in the middle of the worst pandemic in maybe a century and we are trying to keep sport going. 

The other States offer crowds now whereas they are two months at minimum in Melbourne.

NT will pay money as would Tasmania for a few games in each Sate/Territory.

 

Gil has won the lottery if you think about it.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • 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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
