infected fan attended the clash between Essendon and North Melbourne.

at marvel.

When they said they wanted to see something positive come from the North v Essendon game, I'm not sure this is what they meant.

Apparently we’ve got a case here in Ballarat.

We had an infected person come through Bendigo as well.

I also heard a footy club out Echuca way had either a case or has been in close proximity.

I don't understand why they haven't just pulled the bye round forward to this weekend for all teams and why the Victorian government haven't already announced a short, fast lockdown (like we saw in WA, QLD, and SA).

Apparently Eddie McGuire was claiming inside info on Footy Classified and that a five day lockdown would be announced tomorrow- with AFL games going ahead as planned without crowds.

Re: Coronavirus Info & Helpful Direction

Good idea about the bye, being brought forward.

I live in singapore, and there are 20-30 new cases reported everyday now, as the virus is in the community. We are back to stage 2 lockdown pretty much. Schools gone to home based learning, outdoor events closed, and no dining in at restaurants.
In hindsight, they should have closed the flights back in Feb. Social distance of 3m when out in public.



The strain from india is deadly, and it kills young people. My colleague uncle in india is a policeman and she told me all the cops had been vaccinated. Once of his colleague still died from it. When he goes out to work, he fears getting infected. This is a cop, fearing getting sick, which he has no control over. These are the stories you do not hear.

Everyone may have their own sense of response to this virus, but it affects the wider community once people get infected.

Just be very cautions and wear a mask. Once it gets out in the community, it could hit anyone.

Lockdown on its way with 12 new cases overnight.

What a shame.

Singapore and Taiwan thought they had the virus licked.

Taiwan has gone from zero cases for about a year to over 300 per day, we certainly don't want that. So lockdown inevitable.

I know footy is at the bottom of the list of real problems, but to have our top of the table clash wiped away from crowds is a real kick in the guts. We aren't often involved in such games.

I was so looking forward (as we all were), to attend this match.

Just make it a bye round.

I certainly wasn't!

Yeah this makes sense.

We can still have another bye round later in the season if the players really need it. The Grand Final this year is 25 September which is quite early for recent times. No reason we can't have a 2nd October Grand Final.

Re: Coronavirus Info & Helpful Direction

Given one game is already postponed a bye round makes sense.
Plus it gives Timmy another week for recovery
