It's called risk management against a pandemic

Yes There was a case reported in South Australia today, so it is still travelling.

I will be in the minority no doubt, but I wouldn't want to be sitting in a crowd at all right now, it's bad enough going to the Supermarket!!

If it's risk management then Brisbane/GC would only be allowed 500 people maximum per game as well.

so why did they allow 1,000s at the gold coast on sunday? would it be because a qld team was playing?

Yes, you are in the minority.

I really don't get the 'zero' crowds at AFL games thing at all.

Yes, there may be 3000 people there, so theoretically I might have a higher chance than staying at home with my other 4 family members.  However I was probably only exposed to 4 - 6 individuals over the whole time I was there.  The crowd was sparce, I washed my hands well.  Probably the biggest possible exposure I could have had was if one of the food and beverage people were spreading it, but food vendors are still allowed to operate everywhere else.

I bet you would come into contact with a heap more different people on your supermarket trip than me watching the footy on Sunday night.  I'd be far more concerned about going out in Fortitude Valley where they allow big crowds of inebriated people mingling willy nilly with little regard for social distance, hygiene etc.

I get why it probably wouldn't be such a good idea to have a capacity crowd, but 3000 people in a stadium that holds closer to 30,000 isn't the drama you are making it out to be.  And there are stuff all known cases in Qld.  If there were Melbourne like problems I could see where you are comming from.

I respect that we need to take sensible measures because of COVID 19, but there is sensible and there is illogical.

https://www.afl.com.au/news/453826/queensland-crowds-are-go-2000-in-for-gabba-metricon

Article states that of the 2000 seats made available, 1850 were provided to Lions members and sponsors etc.  50 were provided to Eagles members and 100 to the general public.

So why the bloody hell should the MFC have to go 50/50 in only 500 available seats for our home game against Port - it's rank.

500 people is absolutely pathetic and insulting to the local MFC members in QLD.

Play it behind closed door so everyone can miss out as opposed to pretty much everyone.

It's like a teacher bringing in 30 chocolate bars into the class room and only 2 students getting a chocolate for no apparent reason.

Amen to that brother. 
 

How can the AFL expect to grow the game in Qld when they impose these ridiculous restrictions. 
 

I am lucki to see anywhere between 1-3 games a season and now my team is here I could potentially miss out on watching them at a ground up the road. What a load of [censored]. 
 

It’s really disappointing and frustrating. 
 

This season is NOT ABOUT THE FANS but rather about saving money for the AFL.

Qld based member here too. Went to Metricon on Sunday for the Lions game and had the same experience from the club and ticketmaster when inquiring about tickets to tomorrow night's game. Based on that, have real concerns about getting to the Pies game as well which I'd assumed I'd be able to get a ticket to.

Like most, absolutely staggered this is occurring. Massive opportunity to grow the game in Qld being missed. And on a personal level members like me who pay for a full membership every year despite never being able to get to more than 1-2 games are missing out on a rare chance to see a few more games.

Gutted.

You are obviously not in Melbourne, 3 weeks into a 6 week Lockdown

I don't want to be near large gatherings of humans right now.

Sorry if that offends you.

Rubbish, its purely financial

Given that they are varying the attendance limits there is no reason other than money save for the argument that they are trying to prevent event fatigue leading to staff and public apathy towards the various social distancing rules.

If that is correct they should lock down the stadium and have say two crowd events (one at each venue) each week.

Unfortunately this virus has a long way to run (six months more plus).

Where I am there has not been a case for three plus months but the government just mandated masks when outdoors for everything. Masks aren't pleasant in 30 plus degrees with high humidity.Haven't quite gone with the local trend of wearing them in the car.

Stay safe SWYL... perhaps enjoy some youtube travel shows.I find it quite soothing.

It’s not easy DJ. I would have stayed in Thailand if i had any idea this 2nd Lockdown was going to happen. 
$10 a night hotels in Koh Samui

SBS was good Last night. “Great Railways of the words” went through Thailand 

Gave me some good ideas for next year!!

There's a guy who has been doing motor bike tours through Thailand including Koh Samui over the last few months. Very watchable. I'll PM you the link if you would like.

The railways of Thailand are quite extensive and great value.

Have done a few car trips from Malaysia into Thailand and really love it when you get off the highways. Crossing borders with a car in Asia is lots of paperwork though.

As you say... next year will be different !!!

Can some please explain to me why they're opening the GABBA for just 500 people?

May as well save everyone the trouble and play it behind closed doors.

Yes yes yes. Game at Metricon was ok. Staggering of rows actually was good. The loss was disappointing but great to get to a game.  
 

AFL has missed a chance to promote the game.  Thursday night footy.  A quiet beer at the Pineapple and then wander across. Ffs.  Makes no sense to restrict crowd to 500. Better hope that Dees v Pies is setup for 10,000-12,000. Saturday night twilight blockbuster!!

Enjoy attending the game

I'm done with you

Well if I lived in Queensland and was lucky enough to score one of the 250 tickets allocated to Melbourne members I would. Being in Melbourne I'll have to settle with watching delayed with a scotch on the couch after the kids have gone to bed.

Nice knowing you too.

Not sure whether it was my whinging or not but someone was smiling on me today! I was one of the lucky ones that scored a ticket to the game tomorrow night! 
I feel very lucky and grateful to be able to attend two games in a row....first time since 2018 when I traveled to Melbourne for both finals and then Perth for that prelim we won’t talk about!

I’m a very happy demons supporter tonight!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
