Things are becoming more convoluted by the hour for the AFL and the continuation of the competition must be regarded as in jeopardy.

In a worst case scenario and the season had to be terminated now, if the AFL awarded the premiership to the top of the ladder team, would you accept it?

ABSOLUTELY NOT

    Worst case scenario is that finals are moved interstate, which I think is still a real possibility. 

    Vic 22 today. This is results from infections 3-14 days prior yes? (Not sure of delta incubation to symptoms, so feel free to correct me). Will get worse before better.

    QLD or WA I think.

    Without a finals Series, we haven’t won anything. 
     

    it will be remembered as a “good” season 

    That can be satisfying to a point; if the rollover season for 2022 is more normal, that GF would be the one to win. We have had a season to prepare for a blockbuster 2022 one would think. It will never happen, but a great 2022 season would be very satisfying when it came around, almost compensatory.

    Agree

    The families of the Sydney teams are relocating to Qld today. They are required to do 14 days quarantine.

    This would not even be considered if they thought the teams might return to Sydney in the next 5-6 weeks.

    I am struggling to care about football at the moment. The chances of going to a game are close to zero and the Dees have decided to return to 2020 form and results. Reading has become my favourite sport and Monopoly with my GD is running a close second at present. 2021 is dead I am looking to a better 2022.

    I am not unhappy Mr. Leg just cannot find any joy out of watching football. The country is so messed up by the Covid problems that football seems unimportant.

    Agree, but you need a distraction from the current problems.

    The COVID stuff is draining but jeepers, "return to 2020 form and results"?

    We've lost a grand total of zero consecutive matches. One draw, the week after belting a top 4 side on their home ground. And we're top of the [censored] ladder!

    I have shut the door on 2021. Second jab on the 30th. Then isolation till some sanity arrives hopefully in future years. The only interest I have is my family.

    Ha, this country has not even had a pandemic. I have friends in other countries who have lost family and every single person they know has had the virus. This is nothing. Seriously, its just attitude.

    Be thankful you live in such a safe place.

    Look at what you have got and not what you dont.

    Once you have your second jab why isolate yourself. Life is for living OD. Get out into the world.

    Appreciate the honesty and having some other things to focus on is healthy.

    Just reading your posts in this thread is depressing.   Go play monopoly with your GD.....posting with such negativity about the Demons when they are top of the ladder and approaching finals IS madness.  IF you are not interested in the footy why are you on a football forum discussing your lack of interest?   Makes no sense at all.

    I for one are thankful we have footy to distract us in these times.   It is one of the few things that i find to be a healthy distraction from Covid....I am sure many other passionate supporters feel the same

    Go easy, mate. OD is venting and that’s one of the reasons we join a fan forum; footy or not. 
    I personally agree with you in that footy is a very welcome distraction from covid and all the other ills of the world. But I wouldn’t tell anyone else to feel that way or to stop posting if they feel otherwise. ?

    • 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.

      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?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
