I was lucki enough to get 2 tickets to tomorrow’s game and can’t wait. 
 

Have a feeling we will beat port and I normally don’t have these types of feelings, so here’s hoping I’m right. 
 

Tbh not sure how many games will have crowds up here thanks to those two useless humans who didn’t think isolating applied to them. 
 

Will be interesting to see what happens and how fast it spreads.

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.

SWYL, sorry, but read the tread - it's all about Qld MFC members just wanting at ticket to see our side live more than once or twice a year that we normally do - obviously we are not in Melbourne.

I really do feel for you and all my freinds and family back in the motherland in Melbourne, having to suspend key social/economic aspects of your lives again can't be much fun.  But your endless OTT comments about  COVID-19 are  starting to wear very thin.

I'm not offended, I just think your position lacks logic and common sense.  I'm not a science/COVID denier by a long shot, quite the contrary.  But to infer that people in Brisbane should all stay at home and not attend the footy, because Melbourne is having an outbreak and one person I SA tested positive is similar to saying the whole world should have shut down and gone into lockdown when parts of Africa had an Ebola outbreak a few years back - it's all about testing and risk management.  I was actually sick a few weeks ago, had a test and it was a virus - the Rhino virus, not the Rona.  Lots of people with symptoms up here are being tested and testing negative, so I'm not super concerned at the moment.  Maybe in a few weeks that will all change, but until then, it is what it is.

To me getting 500 people in a crowd creates a far better atmosphere than none and if that 500 can be 1500 to accommodate all the MFC Qld members that would like to get a ticket isn't really that much to ask in the scheme of things.

Anyways take care buddy and GO THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!

That’s what I would’ve said, make the cut off for buying the tickets Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning so it gives them the opportunity to staff the ground correctly. 500 tickets is a joke. 

Rules for different clubs again. 

Absolute joke. I’ve been to the two Carlton games that where held at the Gabba (father in law barracks for them) and had no dramas getting tickets with a few thousand there. Now the Dees (qld member) are playing here and they are now not releasing tickets! There are still other games listed at the Gabba which looking like you will be able to get tickets for. Absolute Joke

One outcome of the current outbreak in Melbourne is that, just as with other outbreaks around the world, it provides key data and information to build their understanding of how it transmitted, in what conditions and in what environments.

And what the evidence appears to be clearly demonstraing is That almost all transmission is occurring in clusters and is spread indoors and when people are spending an extended time together in tbat space.

In workplaces, family homes, schools, aged care facilities etc. Indoors where people spend a block of time together (ie close contacts).

Despite it now being clear there was community transmission when the black lives matter march happened here thete has not been a single transmission traced to it. And that is despite 2 people who tested positive who were there (And who knows how many others who didnt get tested).

And think of how many people were out and about in shops, supermarkets, malls etc just prior to lockdown when we now know there were a lot of positive cases in the community

Of course random transmission is posiible and like you im not downplaying the risk.

My family and I have followed every gov direction in this lockdown and the first one. And will continue to do so. I've barely left the house in weeks.

I work in community services and my wife in aged care. I know the impact this virus can have on vulnerable communities. Amd I fully support this lockdown and the measures that are in place.

But it seems pretty clear that the risk of transmission is low in outdoor settings, particularly if people are spaced apart. 

So in a state like QLD where there is statistical almost zero positive cases you could not get a safer place than at the footy in the outer. The crowd number almost wouldn't matter to to say 10, 000 as there would barely be any jams of people and once seated it only those in your vicinity you might have contact with.

You are at much greater risk in your office, classroom or family home. Sad to say. Though of course everywhere but Melbourne and Sydney that risk is currently extremely very low.

Have a great time at the footy. I have to say of all the things I missing atm - live music, catching up with mates, enjoying a punt and a beer at my local,  being out and about - the thing I miss the most is going to the footy.

So I will enjoy it vicariously though the dees fans there and look forward to hearing you all in the effects mike and reading your comments on dl.

You are our proxies! Go redlegs!

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
