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????

You will have company we will be going regardless

I’m a Dees fan, FFS. “Humble” is my middle name. 

"Long Suffering" is mine... although some would say "insufferable"

I'm hearing talk that the venue for the game next week may be changed. To Marvel maybe?

Has anyone heard anything about this?

I see Dees are $1.02 to win!

 

Any idea when the AFL will actually make a call on this? It's orthodox Easter next Sunday so trying to plan lunch


If the game ends up at Marvel I wonder if they will still allow crowds as North will effectively be midway through a 2 week quarantine process, won't they ?

I don’t think so, i assume they will just test them.  They only left the hotel in Perth to play

Several reports in past hour saying it will proceed as planned in Tassie.

 North must quarantine for 14 days but have exemption to train and play.

Why would this game be re-located from Hobart.

It’s not as if the North boys mingled in the community I would’ve thought.

Tasmanian border policy - currently closed to visitors from Perth. We (Tassie) shut the gate completely every time there’s a COVID hot spot emerging. It’s been great for keeping it out but this is the consequence.

It’s hard to see Tassie letting them in however Tassie money will go down the drain and we all what talks the loudest.

But isn’t it the spread while in hotel quarantine that has been the issue?

Yep. They might make an exception if NMFC can prove they only did the airport-hotel-footy ground circuit and took all the precautions etc. I hope so anyway (as self-serving as it is to support hard border policy then suggest relaxing it when it doesn’t suit me). I really want to go to this game.

I can't see it happening in Tasmania tbh. Seems illogical and against public health advice for a group of people coming from a hotspot to not only be still playing and competing (albeit with an exemption) but to also be travelling to another state. Game should be at Marvel.

Who is the exemption from? The Victorian Government? The AFL? The Tasmanian Government? Sure Vic and the AFL might say it's ok but Tassie very well may not and that will be where the final decision lies.

We seem to play alright in Tassie anyway

We’ve played there 3 times and lost all of them by under a goal.

Agree. They will keep it as per normal and restrict Kangas players movements in WA and on return. Hotel quarantine in an IBIS HOTEL for Kangas ??????

It's the Tasmanian State election on Saturday.

Politics may end up being the dominant factor in any decision (i.e. is the government going to make an exception for a football club to enter the State when no on else has been allowed to in the face of state lockdowns?).

I wonder how long it will be before the title of this thread is changed to just Relocation of North Melbourne. 

 

I can't see how the Tassie government lets North in, unless absolutely everyone coming (players and staff) have returned a negative test.

If they do all return a negative test, I could still see them denying entry simply to show they're in charge not the AFL or anyone else.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
