But it was only one guy in Italy!

Frustrating

I was surprised by their views given they are in the dangerous age

I’m over the whole thing

I hope they delay the season - if I had a relative who was an AFL Player, I'd be worried about their travelling through airports - the number of people (incl players) and club staff they come in contact will.

NEAFL postponed until 31 May

I'd say this means Richmond and Collingwood would have 15-17 home games @ MCG

 

[caesar88]

17 rounds regardless makes me think they are going to go forth with this cramming multiple games into a one month span crap.

No NEAFL makes their idea of top-up teams absolutely laughable. "Hey what's-ya-name-who-hasn't-played-a-game-in-weeks, you free this weekend?"

Again I repeat, Gil is a dill

Everyone has to handle this thing their own way but I'm pretty much with your mum, I plan on not changing a thing in my life that I'm not forced to change and if I get it, i get it - I think I'm healthy enough to cope with it.
I'm very fortunate in the fact that my family are all very healthy and no one I'm close to has any health issues and I have no elderly relatives so it's easier for me to make that call.

Very healthy got nothing to do with it Jewelsy.

My brother currently in lockdown in Brooklyn due to a superfit 36 year old at his work coming down with it. That bloke is currently in Intensive care now hooked up to all sorts of machines as his temp hit 103 and his lungs shut down

Gil the goose

 

[The King!]

im looking forward to making my afl debut later in the year when called upon

 

[The King!]

right now hard to get excited about a mickey mouse season like it will be this oddity in the records, if you win the flag etc

need to process it

i can also see getting it in and pushing on if you can, i dunno

At least the AFL are trying to work through something that is out of their control. Compromised competition isn’t a big issue given you could argue it is every year. I’m not sure Gill is the dill in this scenario.

 

[The King!]

its not like he will push on regardless

but has come up with a plan to be fair

 

[Punts]

On hold for 24 hours wtf

 

[The King!]

Remember the good old days arguing over best 22s

 

[The King!]

buddys salary will still count in full in our cap i suppose

A corona virus effected season could be the best thing for us considering Buddy's contract. A shortened or cancelled season this year, a year we aren't expected to be in the hunt for a premiership, could give him a better chance of seeing out the couple more seasons remaining on it.

Silver linings.

 

[Punts]

1 player gets it at the season on hold for 14 days minimum

Just the waiting game

 

[The King!]

i think 17 is fine

just the idea of smashing them in multiple games a week is the part that im not as keen on

They won't. You won't see Rampe, Heeney, Parker, Kennedy, Aliir etc in multiple games a week. There would be a Swans side and then a Swans 2.0 side.

I'm average height and carrying some extra kg's around the gut. I reckon I could slot into a forward pocket no worries.

 

[Banyo Bloods]

Finally got a reasonable draw due to ladder position and the virus steps in and ruins it. Seriously though strange season ahead but all pales in comparison to making sure the family are safe.

and on that note hope all my big footy Swans family don’t end up personally effected.

 

[caesar88]

All eyes on Pendlebury I guess

 

[TheMase]

They won't. You won't see Rampe, Heeney, Parker, Kennedy, Aliir etc in multiple games a week. There would be a Swans side and then a Swans 2.0 side.

If they did that I would imagine they might also go with a bigger unlimited interchange, particularly considering state leagues have pulled the pin.

That’s the reason

I just can't see any clubs offering up their best players for multiple games in a week, regardless of interchanges. There will be two different standards of Swans games we'll see. One with the stars, one without them.
