Is our Match against the Swans in jeopardy this week?

If it goes ahead will we be able to attend?

** Please keep personal politics out of the thread **

I am living abroad. The covid case is in Sydney, so why is there a chance the game won't go ahead?

 

A lot of Swans live in the Eastern suburbs of Sydney, so I suspect they all will be tested. Real risk if the area is declared a red zone. 

Hopefully, if they haven’t been already, they’ll (Swans players and crew) be tested and head down to Melbourne asap.

The game will most likely go ahead. Sydney players and officials will no doubt be tested.

The big question is whether the Victorian government will (a) allow Sydney player and officials into Victoria from a red zone (if declared, which is likely given past history) and (b) if Sydney is exempt and can enter will the Victorian government allow a crowd to attend?

Not a returning traveller or hotel quarantine worker. Means he's picked it up in the community. NSW have been the best at managing these spot fires, tracing contacts effectively and adopting proportionate public policies. We'll have to see what contact tracing uncovers but he's been out an about for 5 days or so. Fingers crossed this outbreak hasn't spread too far and can be contained. We'll just have to wait and see.

Clearly we need to ensure no Sydney based fans attend the game

 

If the Swans can't come they should forfeit the 4 points.  ?

Or no Sydney fans, period. ?

Yes if they all pass i wouldn't be surprised if they are all here by lunch time tomorrow.  The risks of staying longer are too high.

The AFL should be getting the Swans players tested and on a plan ASAP before anything changes between the Melbourne and Sydney restrictions. As for crowd, surely if they’re tested and come back negative no need to worry about no crowd. 


Even if they do jump on a plane early and come into Melbourne, the Vic Govt can issue retrospective advice for individuals that have arrived from Sydney. Given the high profile of the Swannies and the WA precedent, my gut feel is that there is a very likely chance this game will go ahead without any crowds.

Brisbane were already in Melbourne if I recall correctly.

Yeah I think you are right. And WCE had chartered a flight over to Victoria before their case was discovered, right?

A questionnaire to be completed at every turnstyle by all Swan supporters. Fail, and there's no admittance.

Q1. What numbers did Stuwie Gull wear at South and at the Deez?

Q2. How many goals did you lose by in the 1987 semi final?

Q3. What was the free-kick imbalance in your favour in the 1990 round six game at the SCG which you won by a goal?

Q4. On a scale of 1 to 1,000,000,000,000,000, how grateful are you that Brasso saved your sweet backsides in 1993?

Q5. Could you please outline in an essay of no less that 1,000 words, where the estimated $350,000,000 has gone that's been shovelled into your club over 30 years?

Unlike the WA situation where there were local cases there are no local cases in Melbourne.  Sure maybe no fans down from Sydney but no (logical) reason to have no fans attend.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
