3 goals on debut not enough to warrant a pay check?

I’m glad we got one game in. I think common sense has prevailed here however, this is going to get a lot worse before it gets better
Did I just hear Adrian Barich say that “the Eagles looked like the next premiership winners” after beating Melbourne by 27 points at home?

Do you think Melbourne were going full boar after the news was dropped earlier? Having said that, I don’t think we will have a season the way it is going which means the ageing WC list will be a year older
Harry stop listening to that shit! I’m on abcnews as that jizz is better than seven west media which will below 10c tomorrow on asx

Longmuir spoke well in his press conference, hopefully now with the season cancelled the players can all get plenty of rest and keep their fitness up so they're firing for next year.

Talking footy spoke about the debutantes and had vision and overlooked Sturt. As they were going to the break Carey said "can't forget Sammy Sturt, he looks like a player".
The reply he got "yes Sturt from North Melbourne looks the goods". LMFAO

Lloyd brought up some debutants in Access All Areas and didn’t mentioned Sturt. Had to mention some blokes from Vic. Such typical ****. Don’t know why I even watch.

Bank of West Coast is tricky ground for AFL rescue bid
MARK DUFFIELD JON RALPH
The AFL faces a potential legal battle with WA football if it attempts to use West Coast’s $45 million cash reserve to help guarantee a financial bailout of the code worth up to $500 million. It has been suggested that the league could use the reserves of the Eagles ($45 million), Richmond ($24.5 million) and Collingwood ($30 million with a $17 million future fund) as part of the surety for a package they are seeking from the Victorian State Government or the National Australia Bank to offset the financial devastation of the coronavirus pandemic. The league — which has already told clubs to cut their 2020 wages bill by up to 80 per cent, cut their own bill by the same amount and demanded a 70 to 80 per cent pay cut from players — would scrap annual distributions to clubs and replace them with a scaleddown liquidity package as part of the proposal. It is also possible that the league’s stadium, Marvel, would be part of the bailout’s surety. Clubs have been told their football department soft cap would be cut by 30 per cent by next year to about $7 million in a bid to increase the viability of the code and all 18 clubs. But business sources which The West Australian spoke with last night said any attempt to use West Coast’s cash reserves would create a legal minefield. The Eagles are 100 per cent owned by the WA Football Commission which also owns their AFL licence. One source said Eagles board members could be putting themselves in an “invidious” position legally if they agreed to use funds from a viable financial entity to guarantee the bailout of clubs which may not prove financially viable. The crisis has forced West Coast, despite its cashed-up status , to take austerity measures . A significant number of West Coast staff were told this week they would lose their jobs. Others have been urged to take leave without pay until football resumes. Fremantle are likely to announce the extent of staff and pay cuts in the next few days. North Melbourne chief executive Ben Amarfio claimed clubs were banding together to ensure they had enough collateral for a bailout. “The AFL has asked all clubs for transparency over their cash flow but also their reserves,” he said. “It won’t be stealing their money, it will basically act as a surety for the massive loan the industry will have to take. “The AFL has told us already we will all get a liquidity package . “The old distribution is gone and replaced by a new distribution which will be a very small amount of money and we will have to make do with that small amount of money on the skeleton staff we have.” Meanwhile, Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett warned the AFL season could be cancelled and all 850 players stood down if they refused to accept the league’s demand for an immediate 80 per cent pay cut. Players are holding firm to their offer of a 50 per cent wages reduction until the fate of the 2020 season becomes clearer. A tentative restart date has been set for May 31. Talks between AFL boss Gillon McLachlan, who has volunteered to take a 20 per cent pay cut, and AFL Players’ Association boss Paul Marsh yesterday failed to resolve the stand-off . “I understand their concern but this is about survival between now and when the competition starts again,” Kennett, a member of the AFL’s emergency war cabinet, said. “And if an impasse cannot be resolved, one of the alternatives is the players don’t get paid at all until, and if, the season opens again. “No one is trying to mislead or gain here. We are simply trying to survive.”

It's a grueling sport physical Aussie Rules, 32 matches plus finals the games would have to remain some dramatically shortened version of what the game was.. Plus think how many dud dead rubber games there will be late in the season and rotating/resting of star players players. I know it's a media personality thing to do when it's quiet to float random wacky ideas but please, no Ross.
Would never happen but I'd almost prefer an 18 round season, play each other once plus a rivalry round.

Excellent. Sturt's going to get a few more articles written about him over the next few weeks than he would have normally. Now to get Valente out there once we get playing again who I also think will prove to be a good addition to the team.

Yesss. By next season expect Sturt, Valente, Young, Serong and Henry to be regulars. All better than average disposal. All seem professional and driven as individuals.

Would be nice to get Denver Grainger-Barrass at the draft (if there is one?) to add to that mix of talent

Four ways the shutdown could change the AFL
Football has a knack of not only overcoming shock and instability, but thriving in its wake. When we return, here are some of the ways the league could refocus.

Anyone got the text?
It's awesome to see Barlow and Daniels getting consistent columns. Might mean the West Sport will finally be a good read.
