"Mr Merlino said there were no changes for the rules on sport crowds, major events, bars or restaurants."

he actually said the public events section of health were reviewing the rules but no announcement this morning.

I also assume that with roof closed Marvel is considered indoors.

My guess is 50%.. perhaps 65% at best

    This virus won’t go away. Make us wear masks FFS. I’d even wear full PPE.

    Thats a really good point DJ.

    The roof that is never open needs to open. It was built to open and in this case its public safety at stake. It should be law that it is open.

    AHHHHH FFS ?

    This can't be happening again, why is it always our games that are affected?

    Ummm with all due respect this is completely wrong.   Other clubs have been affected well before us

    I would assume that there will be a reduction across all games in Victoria this week and if the outbreak gets out of hand perhaps even the outdoor games might have no crowds either.

    The blockbuster between St. Kilda and North is being played at Marvel on Saturday afternoon will likely be affected too.

    Someone rang SEN this morning to say there is a problem with it and a strong chance it won't be open again.

    public gatherings have been capped at 30 people.  masks required indoors 

    I reckon we have no chance of seeing this game live

    15 months on Covid is still an absolute [censored] of a thing

    50% capacity is my tip. Just a guess.

    Crowd would only be 35K tops if 100% capacity. Marvel crowds have been woeful this year.

    If the prior games this year that were COVID impacted are any indication I think it is more likely to be no crowds than less crowds this weekend.

    To be fair that only happened in WA and we know they are panic merchants. 

     

    As much as I want to go to this game, I want to avoid lockdowns more. A wide long lasting lockdown would impact the season far more than one game with no crowds.

    Was literally about to say is there any chance that I dunno, the retractable roof they have on that stadium could be like, open? Possibly? :p

    A car load of us were coming down for the game, and I was all set to purchase tickets today. Due to some logistics, we had to make a decision today so we pulled the pin. Really peeved. I was really hungry to see these 2 go head to head live.

    Our delayed game vs essendon last year forced a cluttered fixture for us . One less game in cairns would have been helpful

    I don’t think we will get into the long lasting lockdown situation again. Snap lockdowns are more likely and I think we will have one by end of the week I’m afraid. But I’m just an armchair expert so take it with a grain of salt :)

    I doubt we'll be the only team affected by this outbreak. They can always move our game to the MCG on Friday night (if worried about the closed roof being an indoor venue) rather than force us into a compacted fixture situation later in the year.

    Apparently 4 more positives already today. Crowds look very unlikely. I'll be thankful if we don't go to lockdown!

    They should make tickets available for people who have been vaccinated.

    And only for people who have been vaccinated.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
