Survey: Are you going to the G?

Late yesterday I received an email from the MFC re going to the G for games. As I have said here previously I won't be going this year. Well until July at the earliest. Interesting that it hit not 24 hours before the lock down. Show the state of the world we live in. I answered the survey. Wonder what the season will end up being.

    Didn't get that email OD.

    If there is little evidence of the virus in the community I don't have a safety concern.

    On the other hand masks, zones, entry times etc takes a lot of joy out of the exercise for me so I will not be racing along.

    Hopefully the grassed slopes at Casey along with my comfy chair is an option for me as the year progresses. Doubt that visiting the 1/4 and 3/4time huddles will be permitted.

    Yes of course I'll be attending the G but am fully expecting all the VIC clubs and Gil to be heading to SE Queensland in time for round 1.

    We (VIC) just can't take a trick with the handling of COVID.

    Will be there with bells on.  (And am fully expecting a deflating loss to start the season in true Demon style).

    Of course you are.

    100% will be there for round 1 if allowed. 

    I expect a long lockdown in winter as Vic can’t trace and control cases. So I’ll be going in April while I can

    I am in the kill zone BBP I am taking zero chances at the least until a large part of the population is vaccinated. Until then there is nothing that would get me to a game even if we are 8 and zero.

    Well, I haven't seen a family member in a tick over 13 months so the 'G isn't high on the list.  On the other hand, get some good vaccine coverage that successfully suppressed spread as well as controls symptoms in individuals and we're really in business and it is very easy to imagine the whole family getting a good screech going at the 'G.

    Dear Science,

    Please save us.

    Regards,

    Everyone.

    The lockdown will be longer then 5 days Dan the dictator already knows he will keep it in place for a month, mark my words, don't trust anything he says, he is a pit of lies.

    I'll leave this up as a warning to all to please keep personal politics out of the footy threads.

    Ok to predict we might be in lockdown for longer but let's not go down the political blame game rabbit hole. There are other venues to vent.

    Yes, haven’t seen a live win for nearly two years, not that we are a certainty but still. Glad at least some supporters got to witness a live win last season. 

    I’ve missed going to the footy and having a couple of beers with my footy mate.

    I will definitely go if it's allowed. My concerns about health and safety are there but minimal. If it came down to limited numbers I'd be happy to 'job share' with other members 1 game on 1 game off if something like that was put in place.

    Not sure if Round1 but would really like to see the Saints  Cats  and Tigers games. 
    All depends upon Travel Lockdown and vaccine Plus AFL strategy of course.

    Qld to Vic and return is very much like a Demons season ( of the past hopefully) plenty of highs and lows!!

    Really want to see a young side selected So we can grow over the year, as youth is the exciting growth pattern to hit our team if we are to succeed in 2021.

    OUT  (Depth and will get some games but not all in same team.)

     AVB ANB Jets Milkshake Jonesy ( still will get 300 though) .

    IN ( Opportunities early on for some but no restrictions over the season) 

    Laurie Bowey Rosman Jordon Sparrow and of course LJ Kossie and Riv. Even Nieitschke Chandler and Bedford are not without hope.
    BBB of course after Round3/4.
     

    Just hope we can all get there and celebrate these newbies combining with the old favourites!

    I’ll be there for sure as long as we get this latest (and any other for that matter) outbreak under control. I’m not in a risk category and have been bolstering my immune system with vit C, D and zinc so I hope I can fend off this virus if I come into contact.

    The best thing the govt can do now is move hotel quarantine to the regions and out of the CBD. This second leak confirms for me that leaks are inevitable so makes no sense quarantining in populated areas.

    We are affected by  incompetence and political play making on many levels during this time

    I cant believe what is being allowed to happen

    But like everything on here we all have our views 

    Next month we we will all be scared of the Brazilian  strain or the south African strain and be shut down. Maybe this  is how we intend to deal with this in the long term God I hope not!

    I wonder what the risk analysis really says. I will be definitely going tom the G whenever possible 

    I dont feel at any particular risk.

    If the vaccine is available before the 1st round or any round l will go with confidence  The vaccine won't be 100% effective however it will be  enough for me to be at the G.  

    Roll out the vaccine it can't come quick enough..

    Both my wife and I will be going (if allowed), we are 70 and we trust the science. The science of maths, at present you have a much higher chance of drowning than dying of covid 19.

    If you dont go when you can, how do you know if you will be able with all these rule changes. Take what you can because....... I cant say the rest as it would be deemed personal politics.

    Air travel will probably be out so I plan on jet-skiing it over from Perth for round 1. I’ll probably hug the coastline, have a pit-stop and refill in Glenelg, grab a sausage roll and an ice-coffee then continue on to the Yarra. Park up, walk to the ‘G, watch the game then head back.

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
