They have been in a controlled lockdown since Tuesday.
No gatherings in groups of more than 2
No leaving home except for shopping,work,medical etc


Basically what we're all being requested to do, they're just fining people who aren't, we're not doing that yet.

90 days from today is July 1.

90 days of doing **** all is going to do my head in.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.

We both drink but the 4.5lt you can bring through has been good to us, 3 trips in the last 18 months means we stocked up and we tend to take pre-mix cans when we go to a show or BBQ so the bottles stay at home, we've got quite a few left. Mrs is in a wine club so that gets delivered and I do my U Brew It's, we'll be right. :D

Much the same.
I’m in a wine club and we get stacks of spirits duty free but usually take pre mix cans or beer if we go out so have a cupboard full of duty free spirits and a wine rack full plus a stack of boxes in the spare room

Caroline Wilson - April 3

The AFL will assume unprecedented control over its clubs as part of the revolutionary new rescue package put forward on Thursday night to the 18 club bosses.

In a receivership model that will essentially turn league chief Gillon McLachlan and the AFL Commission into the competition's banker, clubs unable to meet cash-flow demands will now borrow funds previously deemed extra dividends from head office.

The move has left the financially stricken clubs disappointed and demanding to understand how the gap will ever be narrowed between the rich and the poor. It has also left several clubs seriously questioning the future of their AFLW teams.

St Kilda chairman Andrew Bassat, whose club is in debt to the tune of $12 million, emphasised those fears in Thursday's telephone hook-up, pointing out some clubs would now find it virtually impossible to achieve success.

And to underline the increasing differences between the ''haves'' and the ''have nots'', the wealthier clubs such as West Coast, Richmond and Collingwood - disenchanted at having to follow receivership rules - have achieved a special clause in the new agreement. This will exempt them from having to regularly open their books to head office.

In a series of developments over the past 24 hours it has emerged:

Only four clubs - West Coast, Richmond, Hawthorn and Collingwood - could potentially survive a football-free season without borrowing from the AFL.

A handful of clubs, including Gold Coast and North Melbourne, will need extra funds within a fortnight to remain solvent.

The clubs were taken aback to learn they will have to cover their players' seven-figure marketing costs for 2020 - a decision strongly questioned by Hawthorn president Jeff Kennett on behalf of the clubs.

The AFL could further cut football department spending beyond the forecast $3 million and turn the soft cap into a hard cap.

Several clubs fielding AFLW teams are seriously questioning whether they can afford to continue in the national women's competition given the dire financial circumstances at a time they could be forced to cut their second-tier teams and academies.

McLachlan will also instruct the clubs to agree to a new cap on club administration costs in a bid to force all 18 businesses to cut more staff and additional costs.

While the clubs can loan money from the AFL interest-free until the end of October, borrowings after that will acquire interest charges of 3.3 per cent.

Wealthier clubs choosing not to sign up to the receivership model will pay a penalty should they require funds at a later date.
The final draft agreement was drawn up and delivered to clubs on Thursday night after significant disquiet among board members across the competition concerned at the implications for club directors.

Further divisions emerged with clubs questioning the unfairness of the debt-free financial circumstances of Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney, which are funded each year to the tune of roughly $25 million respectively.

Should the football season commence by early August the prevailing view is that Essendon, the Western Bulldogs - which recently sold off a large parcel of gaming machines - and potentially Adelaide retain sufficient cash flow to survive without borrowing from the AFL's $600 million pool.

The fact that only one-third of the 18 clubs boast bank balances that could take them through to the end of July has underlined the false nature of the profits announced by the majority of the clubs at the end of last season.

While several clubs sought independent legal advice, Western Bulldogs chairman Peter Gordon has engaged legal opinion that has been made available to all the clubs.

The AFL has engaged one of Australia's most respected lawyers, Arnold Bloch Leibler's Leon Zwier, who worked with the commission as it negotiated the $600 million NAB/ANZ bank loan and then advised on the complex negotiations with the 18 clubs.

Zwier, a litigation and corporate recovery services expert, previously worked with the Victorian Government as it negotiated out of the proposed East West Link project.
PAFC. Forever.

Seems fair enough from the AFL, they don't want to create a false economy.

However this part of the article shows how much Caro has lost the plot. She doesn't seem to understand that profits doesn't always = cash in the bank :roll:

The AFL Evolution 2 simulation of the 2020 season sees Richmond defeating the West Coast 127-63 in the GF but we lost twice to Carlton in the regular season and they finish 13-9. As if!!! Richmond would lose twice to Carlton and they would win 13 games. somebodies been into the COVID19 drugs but the last part is true about Richmond winning the flag and being a dynasty!!!!

FINAL LADDER at end of minor round

1. Western Bulldogs (14-8)

2. West Coast (13-9)

3. Richmond (13-9)

4. Carlton (13-9)

5. GWS Giants (13-9)

6. Melbourne (12-10)

7. Geelong (12-10)

8. Brisbane (12-10)

9. Hawthorn (11-11)

10. St Kilda (11-11)

11. Essendon (11-11)

12. North Melbourne (11-11)

13. Collingwood (10-12)

14. Port Adelaide (10-12)

15. Sydney (9-13)

16. Adelaide (9-13)

17. Gold Coast (8-14)

18. Fremantle (6-16)


FINALS WEEK 1

QF1: Carlton 152 def Western Bulldogs 97

EF1: GWS 133 def Brisbane 47

EF2: Melbourne 92 def Geelong 84

QF2: Richmond 62 def West Coast 42

SEMI FINALS

Western Bulldogs 98 def GWS 76

West Coast 122 def Melbourne 71

PRELIMINARY FINALS

West Coast 133 def Carlton 46

Richmond 128 def Western Bulldogs 117

GRAND FINAL

Richmond 127 def West Coast 63

It’s Tiger time once again.

Yes, after all of the crazy things in this simulation, Richmond just goes and wins the 2020 flag anyway.

They are confirmed as a dynasty.
2017, 2019 & 2020 PREMIERS
RICHMOND, RICHMOND, RICHMOND.


Let that be a lesson to you Sturt. You don't beat Glenelg 3 times in a row in Grand Finals and get away with it.
