Four options for the AFLW season too, they will decide tomorrow: 1. To continue the season as planned with no crowds. That would see two more weeks of home and away games followed by three weeks of finals. The AFLW Grand Final is scheduled for April 18, which is Round 5 of the AFL men’s season; 2. To cancel the season now. This appears highly unlikely unless the government steps in; 3. To play a Grand Final this weekend between North Melbourne (conference A) and Fremantle (conference B), and; 4. To start finals this weekend with a top four instead of a top six. This would see North Melbourne host Carlton and Fremantle host GWS. A Grand Final could therefore be played late next week at the earliest 1 please, even if they have to play the rest of the season/finals at the end of the year) or 4.

I expect them to push the start of the season back 7 weeks. Honestly, if we cant get things back to a working society in that period of time we are going to have a lot more to worry about then the footy.

Slobbo asking Gil if the Coronavirus could cost gil his job and how long it will take for the AFL to deal with Corona, seriously punchdrunk poo poo.

Just tuned into 360 because of those posts. Man, slobbo... I had a whole summer without him. Super majority of players have voted to play Round 1 this weekend. ~20% said no.

Never forget that players would sell their first born in a heartbeat if it was the cost of playing football

Seriously that Slobbo interview with Gil on 360 tonight was bad, even by his standards. How does he still have a job? Asking Gil how long the coronavirus will impact the AFL for and there’s just this awkward silence before Gil is like “I really don’t know, if I did I’d be advising Canberra”.

The players will happily play in the middle of a pandemic, in front of an empty stadium, because nothing else in their lives comes close to how much they care about actually playing, and they'll still demand their share of your ticket price while you're locked out

It’s a union they aren’t going to let the afl reduce their pay without some sort of push back. The AFL said they have 40 weeks to get 17 rounds out. If that’s the case then why not try to get the 22?

Solemn Sloth posted:Here’s a galaxy brain take for them: push for a 17 week season and say the league should absorb the hit not players Yeah that’s the ideal solution for them but it isn’t a very strong opening position because it just becomes a public sledging match about who is being more greedy and it is never the union that wins that debate.

The current pace is already hell on the bodies of the players, there's no way they can increase the cadence of the season, later in the year into the warmer months, without destroying their bodies.

I feel we’re about equally likely to drop out in the first round as we are to win the whole thing. Interesting to see if they go with round 1 of finals being inter or intra conference. Brackets will either be: NTH v COL GWS V MEL FRE V BRI CAR V GCS or NME V GCS GWS V BRI FRE V COL CAR V MEL
