What about it being essential to the employment of probably thousands

It doesn't have to be a ****ing hotel. They can stay a boarding house, a warehouse. Doesn't matter.
Keep that imagination it will work for you well in the coming months.

To keep it going travel should be minimised.
All games to be played in Vic.
SA and NSW teams to travel by bus.
WA teams to travel all together on a single chartered flight to save $$$.
There is no home ground advantage anymore.

Well the AFL continuously tell us about how they are an industry leader when it comes to being on the front foot about social issues, til it doesn’t suit them...

I reckon they’ll put some sort of submission to the government to get them through.
- 18 clubs based in Vic because it has the facilities
- play games at the G, Etihad, whenever else can work. Maybe Princes Park, Moorabbin etc.
- isolated training / admin base for each club (there’s decent VFL club facilities for interstate clubs)
- isolated accomodation and transport for players and essential staff with screening for visitors.
If the players are up for it they’ll give it a go.

My business has to shut its doors, I have to send employees home without pay. I may go bankrupt. How does that effect my desire to watch footy? I need footy right now to forget for a while.

So being a good role model is more important than sustaining the livelihoods of 1000s of people?
That's a massive price to pay out of principal.
Who understands that your use of the term is a hollow phrase. I don't look forward to seeing all the sick people without "associated conditions" (comorbidities is the term you're looking for), but it will happen.
If the players were all prepared to play under these conditions I'd support it. With the country slowly going into lockdown they may as well be locked down here assuming they want to play footy
A few weeks ago I was one of those thinking it was media hype however I was totally wrong and feel like Ann idiot for thinking that. We need to get serious as people can’t use their own common sense to stay home as indicated by the 1000’s of idiots on Bondi beach. Stay home and do your bit. I love footy as much as anyone however it’s time to shut it down, now.
Particularly after balances have dropped 30% to 40% in the past two weeks, and likely to drop further.
And it will be those who can least afford to access it, who will access it...
What makes them so special compared to other industries that are getting hit even harder? Qantas recently just what, axed 5k workers recently? Get in the queue.
It is irresponsible to have these players and staff jetting around the country during a pandemic when states are going into lockdown. It is inevitable that there'll be mass restrictions. At the end of the day, AFL is not essential. Know what is? Medical workers, the people who transport food and medicine, etc.

It is only 10k and the market has probably taken double that away in share losses in losses the last 2 weeks anyway.

Yeah let's get you straight into the PM role, because you obviously already have all the facts at hand and know what you're doing. Good on ya champ.

Can't see that happening. Would look a bit ridiculous if everything else is shut down except the AFL.

Yes but the AFL still playing isn't a sign of being slow to react. It's a sign that healthy individuals are allowed to continue working.
It's moot anyway, the correct decision has been made.

Staring into the abyss
Completely agree the mixed messages are just getting laughable.
I think the government have only contributed to the "Panic" in the community with "herd immunization"
I know even at state level security tiers were going up daily last weekend.
We won't close the airports to Europe, U.S now we will shutdown everything within a few days.
This virus is consistent unless extraordinary actions are taken early. Now regardless of the virus stats, fatality rate which I won't truck back over because they have been done at nauseam.
This country is already basically in recession it's been only "two weeks" since it began really hitting Australians hard.
Those implications alone in consideration to people's employment and the healthcare system it's enough right now.
We have months to go even if we could incorporate preventative measures right this very moment with vaccine & medicine it would still be a long haul getting it under control.
I can't stress enough this is going to take the world long time to recover from when we get it under control.
And I'm just hoping more than anything that we don't have a huge explosion. Because what we are doing now failed overseas because it was to late.
