Easton Woods premiership medal has been stolen... Pretty ironic cause he got the medal under the same circumstances

So many things. So many.

Is it just me, or do others not give a shit about footy happening this year? If there are to be no crowds, I have no interest whatsoever. If they do get up and play to empty stadiums, how irrelevant would the premiership feel to the supporters of the winning team. Just write off this year and imagine how bloody good next season will be. Make every week a blockbuster.

I know, I don't really have any interest in Supercoach or tipping comps now, either way it isn't going to be a "real" season.

Clubs such as yours will be disadvantaged IMO, with an older list the players and medical staff have modified trainings etc for the older blokes to manage them through the week, I can't see Gazza, Paddy or Selwood getting up after only a 5 day break on multiple occasions.

I'm happy to come bottom this year. Need some good draft picks and this is the year to have a shit year as nobody gives a toss.

Its not that easy, if there is no season this year in any form the game will take years to recover, and that impact will impact all levels of the game

Everything is going to take years to recover.

For these hubs to work health authorities will need to sign off on groups of 50 or more being allowed to gather. This won't be for months.

Genuine question

When would they breach the 50?

Is it true the AFL dont want the WA players to train in larger groups now they have lifted some restrictions as it gives them an advantage supposedly?

Couldn't be possible, the AFL put peoples health as the number 1 priority above anything else.

How dare a bunch of 17-35 year olds look to keep fit and healthy whilst releasing some mental stress.

What odds should Sportsbet offer that the end result of the hubs situation will be that the players will 'reluctantly' agree but are financially reimbursed for their time away from their families. The ALFPA wouldn't be doing their jobs if they didnt try and generate more income out of this situation.

I'm going with $1.40 favourite.

Agree. The Hubs is not going to work and wont happen.

I don't get why it has created so much discussion - surely it has been run past the relevant Health authorities in each State and they have been told how highly unlikely they are to go ahead??

Or its been run past the authorities and they have said what they want to see happen to allow it and thats what the AFL are working on.

What’s to say they haven’t?

Slightly off topic, slight relevant.

NRL players are refusing to train because of Covid-19.

Can my sportsbet offer stand for them as well.

Yet the NZ Warriors are about to hop on a charter flight bound for Australia to prepare for games......

Sorry i didnt read the article properly.

Its not because of Covid it's because they dont have a new pay deal.

It's pay and bio-security measures.

They wouldn't be going this far down the track without having the health authorities advice and support.

They would, they need a plan in place either way and if the have been pestering health authorities with questions and asking advice they should pull their heads in and let those people get on with the important things, like keeping us all healthy and alive, not worrying about some footy.
