[Woody15]

in Italy healthcare workers are catching the COVID19 even when wearing PPE. Not sure we want untrained AFL players in the way

I wasnt referring to the players.

 

[Bombermania]

So Essendon went one better than it did in 2000 with no losses..........!

He clearly meant the clubs medical staff, not players...

 

[iBeng]

Remove the interstate teams just the 10 vic teams play.

So, the VFL returns?

 

[boncer34]

Wrong, Italy's first case was 5 days before ours.

Italy's was 31st of Jan wasn't it?

 

[Topkent]

Why keep it going when you don't know that's not gonna happen in the future you moron?

Go back to your crayons.

They postponed it for 2 months, they can easily cancel it in 2 months if nothing changes.
Why cancel the season when the border restrictions might be lifted in a month. Go back to reading your doomsday articles Muppet.

Not sure where our next win will come from if we cant play the Suns.....


Nah **** it and call it off! lol

 

[mxett]

Yeah, got that now. The doctors would be of use, but the rest probably not.

Now is not the time to make jokes like this, mate.

But does anyone want to create a COD squad with me.

 

[Thrawn]

Do you know how viruses even work? We haven't even reached the peak of this pandemic yet...

 

[BACCS]

Hope someone creates a counter-petition to keep things in perspective.

Go play some video games or something. Ludicrous to have them even travelling around in the first place in these circumstances. The AFL does not exist in a bubble, contrary to the meatheads who are in it.

Have you got any comprehension of the mental health toll this will have on people? Footy is the livelihood for a lot of people, whether you think that is pathetic or not is irrelevant. It’s clear some of you in here are enjoying chatting about the doom and gloom scenarios, whereas some people just want a distraction for a bit to take their mind off how shit the world is right now.

Obviously the season will be postponed now, but they had every right to at least start it this weekend and give some of the public a bright spark, albeit for a short period.

But yeah, go and play a video game or something, great advice!

 

[Dez!]

So do they finish the round?

 

[iBeng]

Are they going to release AFL Evolution 2 and just have all the players play themselves from home?

 

[Chism]

Do you know how viruses even work? We haven't even reached the peak of this pandemic yet...

Agree and our spike is predicted to be late April into early May.

 

[Dewy006]

Until May 31 apparently

That’s very optimistic of them, in the height of Winter and the regular flu season. I’ll believe it when I see it.

 

[bullish23]

along the lines why so many of us wanted the season never to start. Unnecessary pressures on the system due to sport.

 

[Topkent]

Right. They postponed it for 2 months. Even if there's a 0.1% chance we can play again then why not keep the option open. Not like they can't cancel it in 2 ****ing months from now.

 

[RUNVS]

So, the VFL returns?

It is what Victorians secretly want.

 

[Topkent]

exactly the reason why so many of us wanted the season never to start.

The masks don't do a ****ing thing. Do some research

 

[mezaire]

Can someone tell my announce this now? With a game underway and another to go??
Surely wait till all games played or to tomorrow?
If points count, utterly unfair on the 4 teams not finished and utterly stupid!

Pretty sure the last games of the round will be played.

There is a shortage of masks because of hoarding and panic buying, not because an AFL club purchased a box

 

[BloodRet]

Why would they close down the league when no players have tested positive? AFL is just about the only thing keeping me sane at the moment. ****ing snowflake decision.

 

[bullish23]

The masks don't do a ******* thing. Do some research

they do nothing in surgical environments? Players also getting tested unnecessarily at the expense of others.

 

[ziad]

So, the VFL returns?

Broke again naturally.
