When is the AFLPA going to come out & defend the WA&SA clubs players possibly being pushed into hubs like what’s happened for Cotch n the boys?Comment

The days of having your sport and despising another sport is dieing. Young people these days will look at you bemused and think your some old guy yelling at clouds thinking like that.
Young People watch Aussie rules, NFL, MLB, premier league, NRL, UFC, NBA etc all the time. They appreciate it & love all of it.Comment

When you look at the figures you can definitely see why the SA & WA governments will not open the borders for Victorian sides. Their community transmission is not great as well as the regular rise In active cases all week.
6,913 Coronavirus (COVID-19) Cases and 742 Active in Australia - COVID LIVE
As much as the commentary from the media is “it’ll be different come the start of the season” I can’t see them getting to that point in the middle of June.
A growth of 73 active cases in a week. Community transmission growth of 17 in the same period.
For the sake of the state and people I truly do hope they get it under control.

If the WA & SA clubs are expected to go into hubs. Will other clubs be required to do the same for a fair even playing field like the limit on 2 training rule so that everyone are in the same situation.Comment

Only WA needs a hub.
SA sides given a vague should be ok to fly out and back into SA again without 14 isolation on the basis they're only mixing with AFL players who have been cleared no virus prior to game time. SA open to visiting teams if their state gets cases under control which is not happening in Vic!Comment

In theory yes in practice what your saying is with a limited pre-season SA clubs will be expected to be on the road for an extended period. Can’t travel to WA, NSW or Vic. After the Queensland clubs what next? Which will then hamper their recovery a lot. Which will lead to a lot of injuries.
And as Gill said “What we’ve said for equity, training won’t start until each state has agreed they can go to Level B so that we actually start together,” AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan told Fox Footy Live
So for equity why would sides be expected to enter a hub but others can live as per normal.Comment

Clarifying - SA will not at this stage allow interstate teams into SA but the two SA teams are allowed to travel interstate for games and won't have to do the mandatory 14 day quarantine when they return each week from games.
This is different to WA who won't let WCE & Freo back into WA unless they do a 14 day quarantine. That's why they need to hub it in an eastern state. If they're smart they'll camp in Qld and avoid the Melb weather!
So early on all Crows and Port games will be in the eastern states.Comment

Quite enjoy talking to a few of the local 25 year olds that play for the local club. Better perspective on the real world.
Way better than chattin to a bunch of old farts living in the past. “Back in my day” ????????Comment

Covid 19 and footy - season suspended
True, and I did think of this after posting. Still I don’t think it’s necessary for the Melbourne cup carnival to change dates to accomodate the AFL GF, which at this stage remains unclear when it will be held anyway.
The cup still has a lot of interest outside of Aus, horse racing is a far bigger sport than Aussie rules.

When is the AFL announcing their plans?Comment

When the goal posts stop moving for them!
Seems some NRL players are refusing to have flu shots which is causing NSW and Qld health officials and Premiers to wave a big stick at them. Be interesting to see whether it's the NRL or the state governments that back down on this showdown.
Understand the Warriors were only let in after agreeing to the health protocols which included flu shots? Could be a different type of deportation to NZ!Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.

Anything deemed to be of Adult content or porn related nature will be removed immediately. Selling or offering of drugs, drug references, other than those openly discussed and identified in the press, will also be removed immediately. Breaches of this rule carry the highest infraction points and may result in permanent bans on a first offence.
10) Off-topic Posts
Some members prefer to just read Swans or footy related posts. This is, after all, a SSFC website. Ensure you post threads in the appropriate forum, or they will be moved. While threads will sometimes move away from the original topic, do not deliberately drag a thread away from its original subject.
11) Attachments
Attachments within the size limit prescribed are permitted.
