Relocation of North Melbourne Game?

It sounds like the North game will be relocated to Melbourne due to Tasmania requiring people who have been in Perth to isolate.

    Happy to take them on anywhere, any time but first we have a big game tonight. 

    Football’s all about one game at a time.

    You think the players are thinking about North??

    I couldn’t be happier if this turns out to be true. I just don’t want us to be collateral damage on another fixture problem due to COVID and end up paying multiple games under a 4 day break.

    So they’ll still cop a monumental thumping, only now they won’t have as far to travel to lick their wounds.

    Got my trip down there all booked for the game and was really looking forward to getting away, but now I'm concerned. I've got until 4pm Monday to cancel for a full refund, should I bite the bullet or risk 400 bucks, and possibly end up watching the dees play north at the MCG from a pub in Hobart????

    Would much rather play them at the G than that [censored] hole Launceston.   Looking forward to this game turning into a big percentage and confidence booster for the team.  Would really love to stick it up North.

    Marvel is free on the Sunday but MCG has Essendon v Carlton. 

    Marvel would be perfect.  We play great there and finally a dry deck for us to kick a mammoth score.

    I wouldn’t risk going to Tassie lest another one or even two Covid cases (!) sees you stuck there. Imagine that. The horror...THE HORROR.

    I feel bad for the people that have stumped up the cash and committed themselves to supporting the Dees in such a sh1thole of a footy ground.  Hobart is a nice place to visit, though.  It might be better for us at Marvel.

    covid sucks.

    Has this actually been said anywhere?

    Or are people just connecting their own dots cause Tas govt hasn't made a decision re Norf and Marvel is free?

    Not official but they were discussing it on SEN. Tasmania are requiring people who have been in Perth to isolate for 14 days.

    Currently only in a 3 day lockdown, so, should be back by Mid week.

    From what I understand they would have to isolate in Victoria for 14 days also. (This is under the 'traffic light' system and could change)

    The situation seems to be they're more likely to get a special exemption from that for Victoria than they are from Tasmania.

    774 said Marvel likely. Not possible to play in Tassie under current restrictions.

    If there’s more cases come up over here it’s bound to happen. 
     

    Stay tuned.

    Not sure if players just didn't read the ground conditions last night, but so many players from Victory and Wanderers were slipping over while playing there last night

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
