Coronavirus: could the 2020 AFL season be called off?

[Twodogs]

I thought of it myself, but as the umpteenth user of it, it looks like I my have to pay royalties for it like Men At Work and 'Down Under'.

More seriously, crowd numbers are going to hurt the AFEL. But Foxtel will make a killing. I'd be buying shares in their corporate overlords*.

Oh! That sounds like sound financial advice. I'm going to sell my house, cash in my chips and bet the farm on whatever it was you said to put all my money on. It was the fifth at Randwick, wasn't it? Number 12.

Yep, 12. One the nose. None of that each way shit.

NHL again, albeit with one club being curiously recalcitrant.

Blue Jackets continue to allow fan attendance, forgo state's recommendation

What could possibly go wrong?

Cant stand each way bets.

Always place it on the nose.

Yeah looking more likely I won’t be going Round 1.

If there is no lock down will you be going Easty?

I see there are 3 F1 team members in isolation with Coronaviris symptoms. But yay, all systems go for the Grand Prix

The Vic State Govt have let all of Australia down with this awful and pig-headed decision, and it will cost far more in the long run than the big cheque that the race will generate.

Probably not B4L I have been discussing it with my brother who is a Pies supporter. I love to go and really looking forward to watching the Dogs again. My grandma lives at home with us along with my folks so I just don’t want to risk it. I hope the whole situation can get better soon.

[GVGjr]

You're a good man Easty, impressed that you have made the right call by your Nan. You've been raised the right way.

The advice from Chief medical Officer is it is ok to go ahead.

If we are serious about Coronavirus and think it is an issue, then we should stop all flights/arrivals into and out of the whole country.

The F1 is only a small part of it.

Yeah my 80 yo mum who lives with us is saying that if we want to go then we just should go and damn the torpedoes, but I don't want to expose her when we can just watch the game on TV.

NBA suspending the season to coronavirus.

Tom Hanks, in Australia, tests positive for coronavirus.

Sorry, but this fails the sniff test and goes completely against everything that is taking place both in Australia and globally with regard to large gathering sporting and cultural events. Get ready for a sharp rise in cass in Melbourne next week that were "unprecedented" and "unforeseen" lol

Vic State Govt dropped the ball because this is a money spinner for the state and we are already bursting with massive debt on large infrastructure projects that are spiralling way over budget. The Vic State Govt has been an outlier in Australia by actually putting self-interest ahead of the general public's well-being, which no other state and territory govt has done, nor has the federal govt. The GP is a massive international event frequented by huge numbers of tourists from Europe and especially Italy, which happens to be completely in lockdown. It is madness that we are allowing this event to run without any restrictions.

US has banned European travel into the US for at least 30 days. After Trump's speech, our market is free falling. Interesting times.
