I listen to the Premier of Queensland banging on about social distancing, good hand hygiene, perhaps wearing a mask every day. Don't they? 

Can't see any of these things happening in a strip club for goodness sake. I hope they washed their hands before they ate the kebabs.?

Must be an essential service

My 70 year old mother had to get a special letter of exemption from the Queensland department of Health (which took her months) just to be able to visit my brother, who is dying of liver and bowel cancer in Brisbane. Then she had to do 2 weeks of quarantine by herself, where she got fresh air exactly twice in those 2 weeks (including doing a 9 day streak with no outside air at all).

I’m not allowed to travel to Queensland and may never see my brother again.

The Queensland government and the AFL needs to explain to me, my family, and the literally thousands of other people with heart breaking stories like mine why they are getting such a sweet deal - when they continue to prove they can’t even live by the most basic, community minded rules.

It makes me sick.

With all this talk of swimming pools and [censored]-bars, Jack Watts must be kicking himself right now for missing out on hub-life on the Gold Coast.

Christ, imagine if it was Nibbler and Spargo or similar. They'd be burned in a Wicker Man as half time entertainment at the GF.

Being Richmond players we can see the media/spin brooms out in full force, with Gil gleefully holding the rug up.

Nibbler basically copped the same ban (4 weeks) for a bit of bad luck in a tackle.

Sorry to hear that.   It truly is sickening what this country has become.

Can't wait for Caro (acronym for Caroline Wilson) comments vigorously defending her Tiger boys.

Oh I don't know what fuss is. They weren't playing the next day, and they're just boys releasing some built-up seed

Wow, built up seed, WTF, that's a new one?

And this lady is running their State........?

Not strictly correct!  She's only the Premier.  This State is run by a far more high-powered individual who bears the auspicious title (and the FAT pay packet to go with it) of "Chief Health Officer"

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?

Thanks for the kind words all ?

 I don’t take the jokes as anything but making fun of the ridiculous world we’re currently living in (some of them were hilarious).

Im just super annoyed that both the Queensland government and the AFL will excuse this all away - while paying lip service to the community. They should both fine Richmond $500k and donate the money to pay nursing staff in Victoria for the hell they’ve had to endure these last few months. 

As for my brother, he’s a Melbourne supporter, so he’s always joking that he already knows about pain and suffering ??‍♂️?

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.

Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
