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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
