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?

    This virus ? is just getting started 

    and old Gladbag in Sydney refused to take it seriously ?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
