"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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
