Yeah, nah.

The Vic govt are rushing to convert one of the two ICUs at the RCH (Melb) into an adult ICU. Ward nurses at RMH are being retrained to work within their expanded ICU alongside the specialist ICU nurses. The old Peter Mac in East Melb is apparently going to be reopened for COVID-19. Sh#t is going to get very real in the next month. The introverts were spot on: stay at home, sit on the couch and avoid others.

Tend to agree. I fear by the end of this, footy may seem somewhat irrelevant and less important to many people Rugby league great Andrew Johns has suggested the NRL go from 16 teams to 12 in order for the comp to survive. The AFL may be forced to do something drastic as well. The money just won't be there.

There's a stack of info online explaining the reasons why CCOVI-19 is much worse than the flu. The fact that estimates of the number to die from it in Aus are 50k (best case) up to 150k (worst), should say it all. I heard today from a nurse at RMH that they were briefed yesterday and told the current curve is nothing compared to what's coming, and the peak will not happen until about the beginning of June.

Two posts above yours Luce

Like the comments Max made to the media? Or like those Jake Lever said late yesterday about player welfare? Whatever MFC, Norf, Saints or GCS say at this moment is hollow. No one knows where this is going, for how long, or to what extent it will impact our finances going forward (beyond massively, of course). Goodwin, Pert, Bartlett and the rest of the AFL are probably just worrying about their families, relos, friends and their own situation right now. And rightly so for a while. Goodwin is only on deck a couple of days per week, I reckon he'll put out a 'stick fat' Insta clip in the coming week or two. Isolation has only just begun. It's not a race to be first. I like to think I'm as passionate a Dees fan as most. I'm looking at no income for months and my super resembles a lead balloon, but I know others worse off. For now, I personally couldn't give a [censored] what statement the club puts out. But I hear what you are saying.

Not sure it really matters that we have or haven't been told. Surely it's a given that all clubs will stand down 70 - 90% of staff. Max has said that a lot of staff have been stood down, the press have been told that Goodwin is on reduced hours. We would certainly have very few, if any any media or membership staff left. Do we need to know more? Maybe down the track, but not now

I hear Alan Jones' ex butler is looking for work, with benefits.

I was devastated to hear about Eddie McGuire during the current outbreak. Apparently he's fine. I'll see myself out...

I thought you were The Bird finger? You usually are. mS

Just give it to Maximus!!!!

You know the tune....

Is it a good time to put a POTUS age limit of 70 years and reduce the minimum age below the current 35??? Coronavirus may say 'yes'

Wonder if Trump will try and postpone the US election until 2021. It's like the rule book for many things has been thrown out

Great thread. Thanks for starting it frankie. Take care of yourselves, your older friends/family and those you know in poor health. Stay at home, keep posting on Demonland.

Not making excuses, but both teams looked to me to be running at half rat power. Don't get me wrong, I would've loved a win. However I'm not sure we should lose our collective na-na about the result given the players knew they were effectively playing a dead rubber. Lots of players from both sides were walking around trying little and chatting to their opponent. There are concerns about our i50 entries, but not exactly sure that one game reflects where we are at. Not saying it isn't, just that it was a nothing game. I can't see the season starting up again at all this year. I suspect neither can the players. The outraged on here will disagree, of course. Meh.

Great handball from Bedford and goal to Kozzie. Something to look forward to.

Some players we will need to make some decisions about going into 2021: Jones, Hibberd, Spargo

Maybe Langdon's kicking. Certainly poor today
