Probably due to the fact we can’t be there, but geez this feels like the round 1 a few years back where we had to play the Suns , just doesn’t seem like the season should be starting

Very Good side named. I’m struggling to get excited about it at the moment to be honest ... anyway banking wins early will be vital so it’s a must win tmrw night.

Well I'm excited. I'd normally be there.

But at least there's footy!

Better than I was hoping.

Yawn fest.
A game/sport Without spectators
That's a joke..
# the only bonus about tommorow night is we might actually hear the crickets and maybe if the goal umpire Farts.

Yeah agree with this its hard to get into it too much as the veil of shutdown hangs over every other minute.

I wonder how they will keep the reserves match fit?
If, as mooted, they attempt to fixture 5 rounds into the first 3weeks, there's gunna be some serious rotation stuff happening.... for example, wouldn't be surprised to see our R2 game moved to Wed and so forth.....
No more 17 rounds Gilligan said.... think 153 games!
4 emergencies basically told you're up next etc

As to how the league work it out? You can be assured that Brad Scott is beavering away at his brother's joint working on a worst case scenario. ....for us!

Can't believe they've gone ahead with it TBH.

I cant see how it gets through to be honest, with everythig else about to be shutdown in the near future as is going on overseas.

Just wait for the cold and flu season to hit!! The panic and hystreria over this thing will go Nuclear, we havnt really even started with it all yet, remember the Northern hemisphere is coming out of winter and their cold and flu season with it we are heading into ours.

I just cant see the AFL making it through unscathed and that is what is tempering my eagerness to have the season back.

If one or two players get it their teams will need to be quarantined and that means they aint playing, so the likelihood is that the AFL comission is pissing into the wind.

They might get througha few rounds but once the cold weather hits I dont foresee it all progressing too much further.

Once the cold and flu numbers spike and everyone thinks they have Corona I think the hammer will likely fall.

I can't see why not. If 60 year old teachers can be squeezed in a tiny building with a thousand germ factories, surely 40 elite athletes practising the highest standards of hygiene can run around outside for a couple of hours.

I doubt the seasonal flu will be anywhere near as severe this year. Everyone hand washing, isolating, distancing, and then travel bans and there will be record uptake of the flu vaccine.
