Another Covid breach by Richmond

The two players are obviously done for the year.  The AFL has been so soft on clubs that this will continue to happen.

They would have gone back to the hub so could have spread the virus through the hub potentially derailing the entire season.  can you think of a better breeding ground for covid than a strip club?

The Tigers should be punished harshly for this. Ralph playing the sympathy card of a poor coach will get sacked is BS. if they get a fine there is their fault, how they deal with this fine could be in many ways

Sidebottom for 4 weeks just for getting drunk and getting in an uber, visiting a mate.  this is WAAAAYY worse

After being in the strip club, goodness knows what virus, or bacteria, or even creepy crawly insects they could have spread.

How is this considered 1 breach?

I count at least 4 already. 2 players both going to a strip club and a Kebab shop (and probably other public locations already).

Only the AFL would try to clump them as 1. Should be at least 50k for EACH of those and points for every breach over 3.

Of course it is such typical AFL spin it could only have emanated from Gil

Am I the only one low key hoping this goes much deeper then just the 2 of them on this one occasion to the point that the club gets kicked out of season 2020?

Anyone else find it interesting that the AFL has apparently been investigating for a week but was able to announce penalties only a few hours after media got wind of it.

1. Had they already thought of the penalty and only thought to apply it once it went public (in attempt to keep it quiet)

2. Announced penalty quickly after media caught wind to  avoid further digging/questions/scrutinisation from occurring.

Something tells me that a lot more breaches have occurred and have been investigated with sanctions only occurring if they are caught out by the public.


Timing of these sanctions is way to convenient.

See above.  All spin and hot air.

think the whole 100k still comes off soft cap for fd regardless of who pays

the players can pay the club the 75k but the cap is still reduced

?

It's still a soft cap.. just a "tax" consequence

For a club like Richmond etc it's $1 per member

Take it out of the salary cap.... now that could be a penalty

taking it out of the soft cap means $100k less which probably equates to 1 less person in fd (or salary cuts spread across fd)

salary cap cut would certainly have hurt more

There's only one or two reasons to visit the Goldy.

It ain't Sea World and it ain't their crappy beach.

Doubt they will make top 4, Adam

Haha, I was joking. I think they're the most dangerous top 5 side, particularly as the Grand Final won't be played at Optus Stadium (ie West Coast).

His comments were pathetic. No accountability or responsibility.

Thank you, glad I was on the money because it honestly felt like I'd missed a crucial bit of info. 

I'd be hoping a leader in that position would slam that behaviour and not play the good bloke card.

There's a guy at my work who in just the last month has had the misfortune of twice getting a sniffle so mild that normally you wouldn't even crack out the Vicks. Both times he's done the right thing, stayed home, got tested, waited for the result. I would guess he's about $800 out of pocket for doing the right thing and nobody has issued a press release saying what a great guy he is and how he's really hurting.

Just sayin'

Exactly the issue. It's ridiculous.

And another Richmond breachriewoldt-reveals-tigers-were-worried-about-secret-covid19-breach

“I don’t know how this never got out and the AFL have done an amazing job of covering this up (because) at this stage we were wearing masks coming out of the airport, to the airport, to the bus.

“We weren’t allowed to come into contact with anyone, but next thing you know we were crammed like sardines into a lift".

Naturally the AFL says nothing to see, move on.  Of course they couldn't ban more Richmond players, could they?

Pity for all those who were caught/outed for a breach and had the book thrown at them. 

Lots more covid skeletons in the AFL and Club closets, I suspect

More important than doing the right thing is being SEEN to do the right thing.

Nobody believes the AFL actually cares about this stuff for any other reason than impact on the bottom line.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
