What's the lights thing? I seemed to have missed it.

Many AFL games may be forced to play during the weekdays, so there will be more viewers during the evening hours. Weekend games, after the regular AFL season, the venues are most likely already booked out by other sports, so it only leaves the weekdays for TV viewing.

Seems like we'll know if R1 will really go ahead as planned tomorrow night.

That is called the infection rate.
Countries handling this well have that number below 1. Countries handling it poorly are running at 3 to 5.
Unfortunately Aus is A+ in some areas on this matter, But E or F on others. Because of this, until Aus does more, the number will be 2 to 3.

I thought the only country who has had a serious problem with this so far who has put the R0 below 1 is China and they got it to 0.3.

Basically as soon as the R0 is below 1 the epidemic will eventually be stopped.

Estimates I have read have the AFL & NRL clubs losing anywhere between $ 500,000.00 to $ 1,000,000.00 each game that is played behind closed doors.

Interesting, would be harder to put control measures in place for the VFL. Going to be hard to maintain match fitness for squads now.

Yeah I get this and it sucks, in fact I'm waiting for this to happen for a snowboarding trip I booked to NZ in July. I've paid $3.5k and because NZ and Aus have now imposed 14 day isolation periods my trip as gone from 10 days to 38 days. But because theoretically I can still go it'll be me cancelling the trip and losing the money. Sucks for me, but what do you do.

If ever we all needed to help each other out now is the time, we'll all need to take a hit in some capacity but seeing some corporates whine like @Darkie mentioned won't be looked at well. I mean at least Alan Joyce came out and said he wouldn't draw a salary for the remainder of the fin year.

Be interesting to see who is prepared to take a hit in a time like this and who will be a @%#*

I would be very surprised if those restrictions are still in place in July.... assuming the virus has spread (albeit hopefully at a slower rate that the health system can cope with), I wouldn't have thought this would still be necessary.

I can't see how the AFL season can go ahead now.

I am always amazed how easily humans are lead to Group Think. Couple of things to Consider.
Media Outlets all say the same thing. Saturation of Information is used for a reason.

And always remember Polititions Lie.....FACT.

Protect themselves from theifs and home invasions would be their thinking.

Glad I don't live in a country whereby that is a major way of thinking.

As Lewis Hamilton said the other day, Cash Is King!

Absolute last thing the AFL will want to do is not playing 198 games and 9 finals. They will put honouring that committment above health and safety of players IMO.

We don't have immunity to COVID-19 yet, unless you were sick and have recovered. And there is no vaccine yet. That is the crux of the issue

 

[Vicwood]

Has anyone bothered to type “ Coronavirus vaccine Patent” When you do scroll down a few headings and their it is WO1993 023421A1.
little bit of reading but you will be informed which company owns this.

Quoting a small paragraph, but I encourage you to read it all.

“The present invention relates to a universal vaccine useful to protect different species of animals against infection by different host specific Coronavirus.“

Now depending of which website your visit, the Avergae cost for immunization is USD115.

Do the maths.

But by all means keep getting your info from 7nightly news and the lying polititions.

 

[Herbie66]

Just heard on the radio that Round 2 -4 may only consist of 5 matches each ???

not sure if this means only the Victorian clubs will be playing those rounds or not

EDIT

But reading on FoxSports they are suggesting each club is playing 5 games in those 3 rounds

just hurry up and make a decision

Which coronavirus is that for?

SARS?
MERS?
COVID-19?
One of the hundred other types?

Surely, given how across you seem all this, you know that there are many different versions of coronavirus - as it is a class of virus, rather than a specific one - and they can be substantially different.
