AFL Suspends games till May

[bornadog]

That is it season over for now.

Edit: Should have mentioned, AFLW finishes up with no team declared premiers. Freo unlucky as they were undefeated.

Wow looks like intentionally losing that game to Collingwood by 10 goals was all part of the master plan to get pick one and Jamarra. Bevo's done it again.

GVG, if there was ever a time you needed some sort of financial contribution from us, this might be it. I’m more than happy to donate towards your running costs to keep WOOF going and I’m sure I’m not alone.

Here I was thinking we should shut the forum down for a month or so given the news from Gil.

All good comrade and of course I'm very appreciative of the offer of support but it's covered nicely at the moment.

I suspect it's going to get very quiet on here though because without players training etc news stories which drive conversations here will just dry up

I'm just feeling for all the people associated with the industry, it's going to be exceptionally hard yards for so many people.Quiet times on a forum just doesn't add up at the moment.

Good to hear mate, maybe we can use WOOF in a way that will help people who are struggling. Set up some zoom calls, maybe watch some old games together, promote each other’s businesses or help uncover some opportunities for those doing it tough financially. Run an online book club, I dunno.

Coming together as a collective with a shared love of the Bulldogs is going to be important over the next few months.

Great suggestions there Comrade.

Ditto on helping out financially for the forum, if it is needed.

I think it’s only fair that the AFL also null and void all the Round 1 results and start fresh when we come back in May/June.

What's the traffic been like the past few days? I've noticed I'm on here way more - I used to pick up my phone as a distraction from reality, now it's the other way around - and WOOF is about the only site that doesn't stress me out!

Weirdly enough, I think I've been more active on WOOF in the past 2 weeks than I have in the last 6 months.

Like others, I guess I need the distraction.

Different for me.

Been somewhat overwhelmed with life outside sport and struggled to even bear to contemplate, particularly after the disaster we served up in Round 1.

Been ticking over nicely but you would have to expect it will get quiet when we get into winter. It's not just footy but all sports
Just to confirm we won't be shutting the forum not even for a brief period. Twodogs will kick me in the shins...of course in a socially distancing appropriate manner

I've just realised I don't need the Foxtel sports package now and can cancel the Telstra fee for the tablet that I normally take to the footy
I probably don't need the subscription to the Herald Sun either. That might save me $70 a month

Been trying to cancel my sports package with Foxtel on line. Won't let me do it. When I rang I was told there is an hour wait.

I reckon the shin kicking championships will probably get a run on fox sports over the coming months, don't be too hasty.

Just looking at some stats and unfortunately it's still a steep decline each year

During the month of March we started by having about 80 WOOF members logging on each day but the last week of the month we were down to just 60 people logging on and viewing the site. The volume of discussions are still mainly being generated by a small but highly enthusiastic group. Interesting is some people are logging on multiple times during the day (8 to 10 times) but they aren't necessarily contributing to discussions.

If I'm reading this trend correctly, and without footy being played to help generate discussions, it could get very quiet by the end of the month.
