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.

    • Demonland changed the title to Survey: Are you going to the G?
     

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
