Expect Richmond v Carlton to be postponed or the fans locked out

Yes Space, they can do a GP and cancel it right up to the point where the players are about to run onto the ground.....
I’m guessing they won’t cancel it, but Gil just wants to cover his a**e just in case...
If they could conjure up crowd sound effects on artificial cricket broadcasts in the 1930s would think they cloud dub in crowd sounds these days. Think the telecast is a couple of seconds lag from the live action.
Why not see what happens and postpone the games where clubs can't take field. In EPL fixtured games can be postponed due to weather a played at a later date. We might only get 12. Rounds eventually completed but the full 22 rounds is also compromised.
Postpone seems better than empty stadium especially for 2 large supporter based teams. But postpone until when? There's too much uncertainty on if and when this virus will hit, peak, come and go, not come at all......
Yep, too much uncertainty so I figure the AFL will be trying to get as many rounds complete as they can and hope they don't have to pull the plug at some stage.
Also, the TV rights contract would specify the number of games so there are big issues there.

Yeah no doubt the lawyers of all concerned parties have gone through the contracts many times. Who knows, the AFL might be waiting for the government to say "No games" rather than call it themselves to avoid a big financial hit

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
The AFL will get its wish for 12 months of AFL, with this year's season finishing just in time for next year's preseason.
Lucky the players didn't lobby hard for their pay deal to be a slice of AFL revenue. Oh, wait!
I love footy more than just about anything but I have zero sense of excitement whatever they do now.
Actually feel pretty sad about it all.
Personal opinion? I don't think they should play.
I hope common sense prevails & they postpone the game this week.
