It would seem the AFL are open to resuming the season when and if the circumstances allow and even if it takes the rest of the year to complete.

They own Marvel so I assume that would be available for use while any Sheffield shield matches around the country could surely me moved to smaller venues as they attract bugger all in terms of crowd anyway.

The big bash and international cricket schedules could cause problems with any AFL fixture however.

Cricket will need to do their part during this unprecedented period because simply put football provides the majority of the revenue that stadiums and broadcasters generate in a year.

Well they have Big Bash at Marvel

Find a Curer or Vaccine for it and there been some good reports that is heading in the Right Direction.


People catching the Virus goes down a Fair Bit.

I can still see us having a Season

There will be no vaccine that's widely distributed this year, I can guarantee it.

Vaccines need an extensive testing process before they're widely rolled out to the public.

You can't go from sample to vaccine overnight Dave.. it take a good yr or 2 to do that.

So we will be in Lockdown for 2 Years?
 
It might be wise for our club to get on the phone tomorrow and hire our players treadmills and home gyms to help keep fitness levels up if they aren't allowed to train together at our headquarters or have to self isolate at some stage.

If going outside is still allowed for exercise but we can't congregate then an individual exercise program can be devised by Kevin White.

If training has to be abandoned I don't see many problems arising if we take a professional approach to finding alternative options.

Could they still turn up at Olympic Park then for Training but go home After the Training instead of going inside?

Very disappointing but understandable.
I was super keen on our chances this year moreso after Friday night. ...

Obvious we were favourites. Even more obvious this is another AFL conspiracy to stop us winning the flag.

I think I have enough beer...

Mate! The impression I get from you is "enough beer" would be a shite load. Do you live in a brewery or something? I've just given up. Gunna get me one of those kobucha plants. Dunno if you can get high if you drink enough of it but I am going to give it a damn good go.
 
BringouttheGimp said:
Yes I think it's fair to postpone the season by 2 mths.. have the players train wherever or whenever.. and expect em to come out firing again in 2 mths time.. that is a complete joke as far as I'm concerned. Not fair on the players.. mind and body.. and not fair on us supporters waiting for an answer in 2 mths time.

Write it off ffs!

I agree Gimpy. Anyone that has had to train hard for months to prepare for a comp will understand how hard it is to (a) keep that high fitness standard for another N months and (b) maintain the rage.

If you ask the players though, I'm sure they wouldn't want to write the year off altogether. Those managing injuries will appreciate the extra rehab time.

If we can slow the contagion rate enough that things are under control by June, and the authorities have built enough capacity to treat the serious cases that will inevitably arise, I want footy in June. Even if that means in empty stadiums.

If we can't congregate.. have em stand trampolines on their side as team mates. Or the club can splurge their cash on artificial intelligence.

We are locking down to limit the amount of people that get it in the timespan that won't be as much of a threat to our health system (or at least less of a threat then if everyone got the disease at once)

This virus will be around for a long time. Clearly the country can't stay locked down for economic reasons. The government is preparing for a good portion of us to catch this virus. (around 60%)

Vaccines don't appear out of thin air.

I don't think it's right.

Not fair on the players.

If it fails to resume then the Draft order has to be a lottery system too.

Suggest be last season’s order. But without any priority picks etc.

That is fairest I’d guess.
