    I hope both measures become permanent.
    Disagree. Can live with it for now if they need to pack in more games.Wouldn't be surprised if it became permanent and they tried to extend the season to have even more games

    Finally the government has shut down our borders so we can deal with the people here with the virus.

    I watched bits and pieces...and I agree I just can’t see how it’s gonna get through this unscathed. Gill himself said that if one player gets it the AFL shuts down for 4 weeks. This talk of going into December is laughable, and after watching parts of the first 2 games, I couldn’t even fathom watching the GF with no crowd.

    When government are calling for social distancing, they (AFL) are letting 40+ guys running around a field, tackling everyone in sight. Go figure.
    I will never see #16 the same!!

    Players wouldn't high five after goals (not that the Bulldogs had to worry about it too much) yet they'd tackle the opposition. Just weird to watch.
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    As i keep saying in this thread, all the measures by this government are half arsed. People are still at work, schools are still running as is public transport. You can't blame the AFL for playing if everything isn't shut down

    Positive test for Collingwood staff member

    "The staff member who returned from overseas had no contact with anyone at the club. The person continues to be isolated until fit to return to work," the spokesman told The Age.


    The Magpies said the club had followed government protocols.

    Jello had it right more than 50 years ago:

    We interrupt this program with a special bulletin:
    America is now under marshall law.
    All constitutional rights have been suspended.
    Stay in your homes.
    Do not attempt to contact love ones, insurance agent or attorney.
    Shut up.
    Do not attempt to think or depression may accure.
    Stay in your homes.
    Curfew is at 7 PM sharp after work.
    Anyone gaught outside of gates of their suveillance sectors after curfew will be shot.
    Remain calm, do not panic.
    Your neighborhood watchofficer will be by to collect urine examples in the morning.
    Anyone gaught intefering with the collection of urine examples will be shot.
    Stay in your homes, remain calm.
    The number one enemy of progress is question.
    National security is more important than individual will.
    All sport broadcasts will proceed as normal.
    No more than two people may gather anywhere without permission.
    Use only the drugs prescribed by your boss or supervisor.
    Shut up, be happy.
    Obey all orders without question.
    The comfort you demanded is now mandatory.
    Be happy.
    At last everything is done for you.
