Unofficial Preview Rd1 Richmond v Carlton MCG 7:25pm Thursday 19th March Flag Unfurling²

[Rodney Dangerfield]

So if fans are not allowed to be around each other for fear of breathing on each other............................................

then why are 44 players allowed to play football when they tackle each other, wipe spit on themselves, wipe sweat, bleed and spit droplets into the air where other players can run through.

Apparently long periods near people is far worse. So they say.

Mod hat on
Please don;t abuse each other. EVryone is confused and probbaly scared and are dealing with it their own way.
Mod hat off

 

[tugga]

Yup! I reckon it will take some getting used to. It will keep feeling like practice games where you have to pinch yourself...no wait....it's Round 4!!

I don't think it will even get that far mate.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

THey wont' play next week mate.
AFL has some time to move more slowly than everyone else.
BY Monday or Tuesday the whole thing wiil be postponed

(just my opinion, no source)

Yeah that’s my belief too.

I believe you're right. Given symptoms are almost non existent in children and not too bad for young healthy people that age I think once enough of them get it, they'll probably just get over it and return playing. But who knows. I think you're right that at some point they'll be forced to stop or potentially don't start at all.

 

[Cotcho]

Thank goodness this virus didn't strike half way through the year 2017/2019. We have that to be thankful for. Imagine it happened in 2017, "Just our luck" Would have felt like a curse.

At least we have a couple of flags to show for it as annoyng as it is that we are in the premiership window.

I know Gill is on the nose with a lot, but he is a smart operator.
They will work it out better than any sporting organisation in this country.

I don’t know why they just don’t announce that now then .

 

[tugga]

I don’t know why they just don’t announce that now then .

They have time on their hands unlike any other sporting body.
They have the whole weekend to be informed and make a call.
This is changing daily.

Precisely. Fans are already locked out. So it doesn’t affect the general public

Wouldn't the TV network be having some say that they want it played for ratings etc ?

 

[Tiger Toffee]

Hope so, no fans no game, **** the broadcasters and the fact the AFL mentioned that in the press release felt like a kick in the guts.

They’ll still get their games just later and more condensed

Thats what i thought would happen, get rid of the 2 byes and then play some midweek games just like EPL does etc

 

[Dusty0004]

They did drop the clue about clubs needing to use more players etc in the press release

China’s claim of victory over corona virus I suspect may change some thinking .

I don’t think anybody trusts China though so that might be an issue.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

can you imagine!
