"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.

How do you prove that binman?

AFL just announced sale of tickets delayed until further notiuced.

  • CASEY: UWS Giants

    The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

  • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
