Footy to Return
- Thread starter Stig
- Start date
No issue. It happens all over the world. Players and their families should be expected to adjust and with the help of friends and family members, can do so easily.
Two blocks of 8 weeks possibly only one, in the whole scheme of things, is a minor inconvenience.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Stig you missed a roller coaster decade on PRE. But there are other footy forums in which you could feel more comfortable.It’s just game
Thousands are dying each day around the world and some want to watch footy at all costs
Interesting world we live in
Everyones superannuation has been destroyed , millions out of work . Interesting comments on this topic
It’s just a game people .

Been back 4 weeks
Might have to take another 10 year holiday
Super destroyed: you might be pleasantly surprised if you take a look at your balance. To end March great majority of funds are down 10-15% .. They would better placed today. But there is a very good case to say markets will trend down or even crash again... so you should act accordingly if that is your view.
My super has been "destroyed" 4 times in my working life and I am still too young to retire. If you are under 40 be ready for 2 or 3 crashes before you retire. But also look forward to many years your fund earns 10 20 even 30%.
Footy is a game but it doesn't have to stand in a queue behind more admirable pursuits before it resumes. If the world was truly fair the best nurse in Australia would be earning more than DMartin. The Dusts of the world will back earning their living long before the local cAfe can re open, and footy clubs will be re employing a good proportion of its staff whilst Flight Centre staff seek help from the Salvos. That isn't fair but putting footy to the back of an imaginary queue won't reopen the cafe or open the world to international travel one minute sooner.
There are a lot of things we can't have .. But can have in a modified form. I'm looking at H&A game we won in. A *smile* season and still getting worked up over umpiring decisions and enjoying the skills
First, there's plenty of people working - it's not like we've al downed tools. People are finding ways to do their jobs - anything that can be done to safely get people working is being done. So in this case, we have a method that will achieve getting hundreds and even thousands of people working safely. Why wouldn't we look at it?
"But if you are a footballer they should work or suffer the consequences?" what consequences? Making a shed load of money for kicking a footy around, and to do it you need to work away from home for a couple of months? Give me a ****** break.
Forget going to MCG, concerts or overseas travel until 2021: health chief
Victorians should forget about going to football, cricket or travelling overseas for 'some time', says state's health chief.
Let's see what happens over the next month. As the rate of infections comes right down we'll see restrictions eased.
I think the Hub idea is ridiculous, but the AFL is desperate.
Either find some way of playing home & away games or give it away for this year.

footy players owe us nothing. WW2 was was about 80 years ago now. Times have changed. There are so many industries around with people losing income, why is it up to footy players to play a contact sport to help people in there industry.
Very selfish attitude in my opinion.
I don't understand what you're getting at. It's not 'up to' the players to work for a living if they can, it's an opportunity. If there's some that are so comfortable they don't need the money, then don't make them play, no problem. But nearly all players and people employed within the sport DO need the money. If there's a way for them to safely work, why not? Being away for a couple of months is unfotunate, but shouldn't be a big deal.
How are the AFL and the NRL going to get around the social distancing rules.. Apparently Scomo is going to have a look at easing some restrictions in 4 weeks but lifting the distancing rules doesn't seem to be on the table. Could imagine umpires like Razor giving 200 are kicks a game for breeches
I pay about $1200 a year of their wage.
so I reckon im personally owed about 10 minutes of footy from Mabior Chol
Sounding more likely than unlikely that footy will return sooner than later (sans crowds still) after this morning's Victorian presser.

what was the gist Oldy (other than stated above?)
".. it will be a real boost if we can get footy going again, but it's got to be done safely" - Daniel Andrews
They've been talking with the AFL. I reckon the green tick is coming soon hence next week's announcement..
