Have I missed something or is 5:30pm AEST 5 minutes ago?

No one is there to man the camera =)

 

[NT.Thunder]

Starting

 

[Lost In The Sky]

Fixture remodelling, season to go ahead.

The Age reporting round 1 to go ahead, games reduced to 17 minutes plus time on with 17 rounds - what the deal with 17?

Contracting issue with broadcasters and league worried about losing money.

I hope the wording isn't true, lost me here with the corporate greed from all levels.

17min qtr's... I'd rather pospone the season than alter game length's.

Only 17 games mean some teams get unequal home games. Not a fan.

NicNat if he can string games together might be worth starting

 

[Feerits Elf]

17 minute quarters

And to think the naysayers questioned Greenwood's tank

Watch him average 150, losers

 

[Bomber18]

First four rounds as fixtured

 

[Herbie66]

How much more information could they possibly get from now until tomorrow as to whether to start the season on Thursday or not? Just push it back a couple of months and start it then if it's only going to go for 17 rounds anyway.

Players meeting phone hook up is on tonight , the majority could say no we are not playing , every other sporting code is cancelling/postponing so why are you making us play ?

Would you want to play with all the uncertainty around ?

 

[NT.Thunder]

Gill looks tired, understandable but I don't think the AFL are looking at this from a fans persepctive or the general public, too many dollars on the line, he can't hide that I feel they've got it wrong.

hahaha good one

Nic Nat could actually play 3/4 of a game

 

[Lost In The Sky]

First instance of a player contracting the virus, it's pretty much tools down Gil said.

Fair enough regarding the player meeting phone thing. I don't think the senior ones would be keen on playing at all, the younger ones may not care as much, perhaps the older ones with families etc will be more conservative about it. I just think there is no point to do this now. 17 minute quarters, no crowds, what's the point outside of trying to meet your contractual obligations with TV broadcasters (which they're not going to do anyway with a reduced season)?

 

[Bomber18]

14 day suspension of the competition minimum if a player contracts the virus.

 

[Dazza]

With a reduced season, will byes stay as or change

 

[Kidult]

They should reduce the 3 game price rise down to 2 given its 17 rounds so we can generate that cash asap.

Heard on the radio that somewhere in Denmark hand sanitiser was selling for $9.99 and the 2nd one for $241 or so, good way to stop stockpiling. Hope it's true. Should be introduced here.

It could be true, but I haven't seen it. I haven't seen any price gouging here, but that doesn't mean it's not happening.
My wife and I have been given 2 weeks (possibly more to come) off work, on full pay. We are doing the right thing, and self quaranteening. We stay home, walk the dog twice a day, and go to the supermarket 2 to 3 times each week.
We're in day 3 of this, and it is beyond mind numbingly boring, but we accept it for what it is.

On a side note, anybody got any suggestions for good HBO or Netflix series?
We seem to have watched most of the good ones!

 

[Bomber18]

They were looking into shortening games for greater flexibility for scheduling but nothing confirmed as yet

First four rounds as fixtured

So if the first 4 Rounds are as fixtured (won't happen I reckon), what does the 17 minute quarter achieve?

I hate to point it out, but there has been unequal home games for years now. This is nothing new.
