How can anyone defend this gameplan. We have seven more inside 50's and we're almost 6 goals down

5 goals in 8 minutes to WCE... so familiar... game effectively over

Why does this game remind me of the orchestra playing on while the Titanic is sinking

Here in Malaysia there is a no movement order and other than going to the shops to buy food no one is allowed outside. The virus level is about the same as Oz.

As long as the TV companies will pay they will play the season even if it means them playing on Christmas day. The clubs are desperate for the money and it underlines how parlous the comp is relative to the big money comps overseas. If the TV companies void their contract then life becomes interesting.

I expect the AFL will give the clubs say a month's notice of an intended restart. Until then players will stay home like the rest of us. The May 31 date is just a guess as we all know

According to 3AW there's an AFL press conference scheduled at the same time as our game.

The South Australian border closure has an exception for professional sporting teams with an approved disease control process in place. We could still see the season limping on.

Time for today's game to be cancelled. No use risking injury to the players in an irrelevant game

well that season didn't last long. You wonder whether they will cancel the game this afternoon. It seems rather pointless given the South Australian lock down. WA will be the next one to announce similar rules and of course Qld.

The "rebuild" will also be in the environment of a new TV rights deal which may not deliver as much money as it has in the past. Channel 7 is almost broke as are the other FTA companies and Foxtel are tired of bleeding money.

Small thing... like many have had lots of flights cancelled on me recently and have been offered refunds etc but I had an internal flight cancelled in Greece. Because it was a budget booking I can only get a credit voucher to use on another flight. No refund option like all the other airlines. Strange... I thought the EU had all these wonderful consumer protection laws.

Good to see the Suns are aiming for another wooden spoon. We are safe from that methinks. GWS are good and Cats not too bad either. Very fast game. Hard not to see 0-2 coming up.

Pubs and restaurants closed from today in the UK along with gyms.

For remote indigenous communities this makes good sense but I'm not sure I agree with the wider bans especially for Australians.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/20/chinese-life-slowly-gets-back-to-normal-as-the-epidemic-subsides-coronavirus worth a read in these times...... For many in China, life is slowly returning to normal, giving other countries a glimpse of what might await them once the worst of the epidemic has passed.

F1 is holding an e event with "real drivers" competing. Sounds interesting https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/mar/20/f1-drivers-virtual-races-following-postponements-bahrain-gp-codemasters-2019

Hope our forwards are watching the frees being given in front of goals not to mention that if you are a forward you can throw the backman out of the way and not give a free. Two or three that went the Bombers way decided this game

No difference in quality etc... standard is 2 devices at once...premium is three devices at once

I quite liked Drysdale Demons post about listening to CD's while watching the games rather than the commentary. Any suggestions for Freo vs the Bombers. Perhaps some good sea shanties

Fibre is the way for domestic use for the next few years at least. 5G has a role but it will be in the internet of things and is really only for densely populated cities at least in the short term. The NBN has been a complete stuff up for so many reasons.

I find it a welcome distraction from the constant doom and gloom now being pumped out 24 hours a day. If anything it reminds me that it is merely a game to be enjoyed. Sure it probably will only last a few more rounds but lets savour it while we can.

I'm warming to a crowd of Mickey Mouse and friends at Docklands. I would give anything to see Scrooge McDuck yelling at the umpires !!!

Wagner or Gilbert and Sullivan

Noooooooooooooo please I am still having bad memories after a match between Colombia and ??? at last years World Cup
