I'd probably end up sucking in a stray bit of fluff while getting ready to unleash a tirade n choke myself to death.

I know a bloke who hasn't bought dunny paper for 20 years.
he has a 2 litre plastic milk bottle with a 5mm hole in the lid he squirts his date clean with.
shhhhhhhh, or there could be a run on 2L plastic milk bottles
Luckily man flu rarely kills ya, just sits ya on your arse for a couple of days of sookin n moanin. Couple of hot toddys of an evening just to help ya sleep n the world is all rosy for a little while.
Isn't this what the AFL and TV stations always wanted - no crowds at the footy means they can start scheduling games midweek without fan backlash and cash in on bigger TV rights and advertising deals. I remember years ago it was reported how the AFL/Channel 7 had toyed with the idea of faking the crowd by using crowd graphics on midweek telecasts so that the game was aesthetically pleasing and the audience at home still had the feeling of atmosphere at games. We'd end up random time slots such as Tuesday night footy with a packed virtual crowd, but in reality be played in front of no one.
I got my tickets and I'm going, reserved a good seat for Round 1 too, seemed to get a choice when booking Roaming Tiger seats.
But, I was thinking about the infection rate this morning.
- Victoria has, what, 5,000,000 people.
- We have, as of this morning, 21 cases of COVID-19 identified in Victoria.
- That would be 0.00042% of the population
- This means that, if we assume 90,000 turn up for round 1 there should be 0.378 people at the ground with COVID-19.
I'm going.

So you started it....those canny shoppers said that Spook only ever buys 6 packs ....look he has a slab today something must be up, we better stock up too.
They're presumably in hospital or home detention and not the ones you should be concerned about. Even after three months only 0.0056% of China has been infected.
Dragged myself along to a 2017 game with pneumonia (the horrible St.Kilda game). Maybe a couple of flags in the interim has made me less inclined to do stupid sh!t. Probability says you're very unlikely to catch it at this game, but you'd want to be sure of your variables.

Better share your Hot Toddy recipe TM, there'll be quite a few folks that'll need 'em soon enough.
The season could even be cancelled part way through. What if teams have to be placed in quarantine more than once over the season. What are they going to do extend the season to the end of October / November to allow those sides to get their full quota of games played and have the granny played in summer conditions. The season cannot be allowed to go on if all teams dont play their full quota. Say we miss the granny due to this scenario, whoever wins it will do so unfairly. It will bring the game into disrepute and the winner should not be acknowledged. Ive said it previously the only way our dynasty is going to be halted is through this caronavirus. Just our luck this happens in the midst of what could be our most successful era ever.
Was talking to a mate who owns horses about this possibility last week... could have the GF clashing with the Melbourne Cup.
Yes it's very bad timing for the Richmond FC. With our mature best 22, we might come back after a year without footy to find that the balance of power has shifted. Better now than 2017, though.
I'll be there too, David.
My rationale is that the 0.378 prick is sitting in the Scum cheer squad so won't be anywhere near us.
