SA in lockdown for 7 days.

You'd imagine Port V Collingwood will be played behind closed doors unless they can move it to the "savior" of football.

In non-outbreak settings the recommendation for duration between AZ is still 12 weeks, as it provides the highest efficacy in the long-term. 

The four-week interval is only being encouraged in Sydney hotspots right now. 
 

 

Do you know if there’s any middle ground? As in, six, eight or 10 weeks. 
NVM ima call my GP. ?

I shouldn’t expect someone else to do my bidding for me. ?

 

The biggest concern for the AFL is the woman in Queensland who brought it in from Victoria. If they get an outbreak and go into lockdown the season will have to pause. We are running out of states.

I wonder if the AFL is thinking of moving to hubs? And I wonder what that means for players who are in with no chance of finals. Would they go away for a month leave families again? Could be ugly.

    Hasn't rugby league just gone into hubs with families? Yes they have, families must quarantine for 2 weeks before entering bubble

    Might be a smart move to do it now whilst there's no quarantine in some areas....or some loopholes (NNSW)

    They should hub the rest of the season in Victoria. Majority of teams are here, most afl standard venues. SA and WA close borders at the drop of a hat. NSW is cooked. Qld will induce PTSD.

    I know we are isolated in WA but can’t see us escaping this one for much longer, but who knows.

    Surely the hubs are being discussed and/or the pre finals bye is under serious review

    Hearing rumours that this week may become a bye-round for all teams.

    Makes sense. 

    I don't think a bye for all teams makes sense. Things could still get worse, meaning it may become even harder to schedule games. The AFL should play whatever games they can this week, even if it is not a complete round. For example, surely there's no reason why Victorian teams due to play each other, whether this week or in rounds 20-23 could not play this weekend.

    This seems to be the AFL's position.

    Don't have a bye if the games can go ahead. If Port-Collingwood and Adelaide-Hawthorn can proceed in Melbourne, then they should proceed.

    Save the bye for a week where it's impossible, rather than just difficult

    The problem is that the harder it gets, the more unfair the solutions become. Having Fremantle host Carlton at the MCG is unfair. Ditto Port hosting Collingwood. Both are instances of one side getting two home games in one season against a particular opponent, with Carlton already having hosted Fremantle in Melbourne and Collingwood the same with Port.

    The AFL will say who cares, just play, but it's becoming harder and harder to justify that.

    No food or drink on sale inside grounds

    Does this mean I can bring in a turkish gozleme to eat and a six pack of Moondog Mack Daddy's to help wash it down?

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
