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

Except things could be worse in six weeks, not better.

And even if things are better, grounds will not be available post football season.


If the epidemic gets worse then the season is abandoned. ...no likelihood of 18 functioning teams in that case anyway.
Wait and see.
After the season grounds can be found...play mid week, double headers, use lesser grounds more like Geelong.
Can be done.
Would love to see footy up till.Christmas.

Maybe, to stop the risk, we start playing games 1 on 1.

Reckon we're ok with Dusty as our 1
 
How’s Pickett going to handle this.
He’s so use to playing in front of 100,000 people.
Now it’s 0

Wonder about all of this Virus thing in Australia.

So far as at today, only 199 people have contracted the virus and according to figures I saw today some 40% have recovered.

Also, only three persons have died from that virus, sad though that is.

More people die DAILY from other diseases than the total of 199 to date.

Just asking. Is this an over reaction?
Thats a 41% increase over 24 hours, I think the sh!t will hit the fan over the next week

Funny watching the R1 promo on Fox Footy highlighting 'the roar'......which won't exist next Thursday unless the wind can do it for us.
 
CEO Brendan Gale was on Crunch time today so if anyone is interested here is the link.

Benny's tone of voice sounded a bit annoyed with this and had to comply with the master.

Lost count on how many "we don't know" he repeated.

The suggestion of a delay and then if possible a 17 round season makes sense to me. But gillon mcpoloponys priority is money so this is what we have. I reckon let card carrying, tested cheer squad members in. But doubt they'd do it.

Do you believe this? I think official numbers are going to rise quite quickly. Many are just not being tested. I personally know someone with it and I've never know anyone to win tattslotto. 3 out of the 199 are Dutton, Hanks and his wife, who else has it but doesn't know?

Edit: As of 5pm there's now 225 official cases

WHO says death rate far higher than the 1% initially stated. Closer to 3%. If a lot of people get it, that's a lot of dead bods.

Yes Italy's official death rate is sitting at around 7.6% of total cases. They do have quite an ageing population.
 
What I want to know is Who is going to throw the footy back when it goes over the fence?
