AFLNT grand final day tomorrow?

12 March 2020 05:50pm
After consulting with the NT Department of Health, AFL Northern Territory (AFLNT) wishes to advise all matches and events planned for the Men’s TIO NTFL Grand Final this Saturday will go ahead as scheduled.
AFLNT has also been advised the Tiwi Islands Football League Grand Final this Sunday will also go ahead as scheduled.

yeeeeaaaaaah, nah...

If the season is cancelled, just think about how good the 2021 season will be. Everyone will be craving for footy wouldn’t be surprised to see 100,000 pack into the G for the season opener. 2020 Will be a hard year without footy, but just try think about the positives.

Go Hawks

Watching the cricket it just feels so surreal! I'd rather have the season postponed than play in empty stadiums

 

[Obeanie1]

So Afl matches can go ahead if the crowd is capped at 500?

Plus players and officials.

The problem is not just with bats- it's all their wet markets for all animals, & unhygienic practices.

Even reading that headline was distressing. I truly hate people who abuse animals. I hate them as much as I would hate a paedophile.

So what's that? Almost three and a half months from the outset. And that's with a country that could enforce shutdowns (albeit, they reacted a month too late). I wonder how long it will take in this country with some half-arsed attempt to shut us down?

 

[AFL4ME]

They should allow 500 people into each game, someone needs to yell green maggot

 

[Sttew]

Makes sense, they really should be postponing the season until late April and go from there.

I can live with that. Cats form in the preseason suggests they need at least another month on the training track

I'm glad there is an organisation that shut down these dog markets for human consumption what some of these Asian countries need to learn is hygiene and not everything that has four legs is eatable.

Cricket less surreal I imagine though as I used to watch state matches where there was no crowd.

AFL matches with no crowd will feel like watching an U18's NAB Championship match.

 

[Blue1980]

Is it ironic?

Like a spoon, when all you need is a knife

I don't trust anyone that values the lives of animals so little they happily torture them.

didnt think my 20,000 post on BF would be about a ******* virus but what the hey...

 

[UAWM]

I am hoping to see crowd-less games, simply i think it would be so surreal to watch something like that. Just having the experience of seeing it would be nuts

 

[WWSD]

How come Russia hasn’t had any cases yet?

Agree. It's the main reason I refuse to support the livestock industry in any capacity.

Being a bit rumply on the skin sounds like a symptom of a virus

Just watch the under 18s state comp

Dogs who are a kept in peoples front yards get kidnapped and taken to these dogs farms for slaughter make me ******* sick I want to kill these bastard

 

[NonPhixion]

Russia has 34 confirmed. Ukraine has 3.
mongolia which shares a large border with China only has 1 lol

 

[RUNVS]

Agree. It's the main reason I refuse to support the livestock industry in any capacity.

I know others disagree but there is nothing I want more than for lab meat to become financially viable. The moment it is, the moment lab meat is cheaper than traditional meat it will save so much animal suffering in the world. Not to mention the massive environmental advantages.

This is a very good explainer about the wet markets if anyone is interested

& "Ball!!!"

 

[Obeanie1]

I don't think there's a point in starting the season with no crowds. As soon as one player gets it - which seems inevitable - you have to shut down the comp anyway.

Why?
