40 weeks means they’re allowing for:

This is what happens when Richmond win too many premierships.
AFL releases new protocols on players touching after Tigers-Blues clash
The AFL is introducing new protocols on "social distancing" between players and others on game day following the constant contact between players in the Richmond v Carlton game on Thursday night.
Um it's a contact sport FFS. How on earth are they intending to police these ridiculous protocols!?
Right now footy is broken. Quite simply they should not be playing under current circumstances.
Im the total opposite.
Ive had a taste,
now all I want is the Covid-19 premiership cup.
I don't even really mind if they give it to us now, for being a game clear on top.
My ignition point to loot a bottleshop tis heaps lower these days than it was back in '17
couldn't disagree more.
Under the circumstances,
Uncle Gil has never had the game in better shape
Would be even better if these media scumbags postponed this paywall rubbish especially for more important news such as this.

One thing that puzzles me is why they would shorten the games instead of increasing the interchange bench and allowing teams to manage their players on the day / night?
Bear in mind there is no VFL, so players who aren't selected can't stay match fit. At least with extended benches, you'd be able to keep some game time into a larger portion of your list. As things stand, if players go down, they will be replaced by team mates who are doing nothing but training drills.

Good on you for doing the right thing TBR. Lots of selfish *smile* not doing the right thing WRT social distancing.
Keep in contact with friends and family, to maintain your social connections.
And post up lots of your opinions here for us to agree with or get shitty at

Collingwood staff member tests positive for COVID-19
A Collingwood staff member has tested positive for coronavirus.
The Magpies have revealed that a staff member – who has been in isolation since recently returning from a trip overseas – had returned the positive test but maintained that there had been no contact with the football department.
He is "recovering at home and being monitored by the Department of Health and Human Services", the club said in a statement.
"Due to quarantine requirements, the staff member has at no point been in any contact with players or staff members at Collingwood since returning and has therefore presented no transmission risk to the club," the club said.
"The staff member will not return to the Holden Centre until medically cleared to do so."

This isn’t grand final related but...
if a player tests positive to Covid19 why not just eliminate theclub from the 2020 comp.
They forfeit their games.
Any club drawn to plays them gets a week off And 4 pts.
Are we keeping our main squad of 26 or so away from the rest of the list?

Eddie just reported a Chokingwood staff member tested positive and has quarantined. That's it, cut them out of 2020. Only 17 teams left.
Like that is going to happen. Eddie Everywhere rules the roost as far as AFL is concerned. In fact he is probably the face of TV in this country. Can't not see him on every conceivable programme.
I was thinking they should stand out for 3-4 weeks till the are cleared or certain of the virus not being spread at the club.
Any games they miss the opposition bags the 4 pts.
Well if they shut the comp down today,
Its Port V Richmond in the first prelim (played on the MCG due the contractual arrangements with the MCC)
and
GWS V Collingwood (played at Spotless stadium to avoid illiterate Collingwood fans (who obviously don't speak Auslan) turning up to the footy)
my money is on another Richmond V GWS GF.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
With weaker clubs unable to take the economic hit of cv19 they should just fold Norf up now and prepare for a Tassie team in the comp next year.
Saints, Dees, Dogs and Suns can fold too. And *smile* off the Bumblers too, simply for the fun of it.

Season suspended until May 31.
Essendon supporters are happy they get a better chance of winning a match in September.
