Totally agree Grump....on the money 100% there....as were those 3 points DD's source outlined in the AFL decision to lockdown the state leagues and not their own....not what folk want of course, but a decision of necessity none the less.

There are EIGHTEEN AFL Clubs who are ALL money hungry.
Not the Vic's, Qld's, NSW's and SA's BUT ALL AFL clubs who want to play this stupid season.. They should take notice of other sporting clubs in the world who have pulled the pin.
If minor clubs who draw smaller crowds cant play then larger clubs are putting their players at risk. Its just $$$$$$$$$$ & no SENSE

Bizarre decision but only one the $FL would make

I give it a few weeks before its abandoned.

After watching MAN U play at an empty stadium the appeal is minimal.

Agree fully, if anything this will damage the brand, the biggest comps and world have stopped but down in hicksville they play on in a half baked game with empty seats,,,give it a few weeks before they realise its a farce.

One thing my Ma in law (100 years old) has said is in previous times like this, depression, ww1/2 etc folk needed entertainment to provide a distraction.

I realise like she does that an infectious issue is different but she still reckons that having a distraction is worth the effort, yes it may fall flat but give it a chance to entertain us. The query for 7 is that will that broadcast more matches free to air so that more than pay for view customers (PFV) get a better service, not everyone has PFV or can afford it!
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so stupid people won't be offended

The start to the AFL season is imho very temporary, the virus will have the final say and as soon as it hits the players, it's pretty much all over. I'll just have to make do with my small collection of footy tapes and DVD's and YouTube.

Watching the game atm god it’s dogshit without the crowd. I don’t think this season should be called the premiership season it should be called something else and the winner of the gf, Brownlow etc shouldn’t be counted in history

I have to agree with you. :woohoo: An absolute shit game for prime time tv. No crowd noise makes the game so sterile. Said to the missus, I will probably watch the Eagles games, but that will be it. Very disappointing.
