I know right? Faark. Then I also would have had to worry if I can get out!  Ie if I could get bk to nsw without a quarantine. I canx the trip today. So disappointed 

Sorry to hear Wellsy. Here is hoping we at least get to play and then spank them.

 

I can handle not going to the game if it’s a snap lock down, which may end up happening.

But it’s a bit silly not having crowds but yet allowing everyone to sneeze and cough over each other at workplaces.

I’m stunned we’re allowed to go into the office today.

 

The powers that be need to get their act together and turbo charge the vaccine roll-out. Complacency is creeping back in again and we all know what happened the last time. The only way out of Covid world is by getting everyone vaccinated ASAP.

Their will always be vaccine hold-outs and cranks but it this instance they do have a point. We have no idea about the long term effects of the vaccines because the longitudinal studies which are typically done before a vaccine is approved have not been done.

I’ll be getting mine. I have to if I want to travel overseas but I’ll be keeping a close eye on the adverse events data for the various vaccines before I get my jabs.


The TGAs decision re Pfizer storage should make a difference apropos GP availability. There is a fair bit of Pfizer in NSW (I work in Health). More on way and quietly coming in

Yes!!! If it means more spectators allowed, defs it’s a yes. I can’t see any reason for keeping it closed.

just move it to the G and get everyone in

Yep, they could do a direct swap and play the Dees V Dogs game in round 20 at Marvel, which only has 2 games on that weekend in late July.

Having said that, it sounds like a lock down could be a possibility as it stands right now.

People wonder why the attendances at games are down. The cautious stay away and now their worries have been confirmed. I wonder how those who went to the pies game are feeling right now. 

This will only reduce numbers IMO.

I was at Adelaide Oval and they required everybody attending to wear a mask if they were not seated in their seats. If you were walking around the stadium or purchasing food or drink you were required to wear a mask. You were not able purchase food or drink if you were not wearing a mask. You were directed to wear your mask or wear it properly by every attendant or police officer around the ground.

In fact every establishment that I entered whilst in Adelaide whether it be a store or food establishment were very strict on no sign in no service.

Unfortunately this is not the case in Victoria and I would be more confident of a handling of an outbreak if I was living in SA than I do living in Victoria. This is not a political statement as SA is a Labor government and it would not matter if it were the Liberals in charge in Victoria based on some of the statements made from them during lockdown last year. We seem to be the only state that can't get it's [censored] together in handling this pandemic.

Isn't SA currently governed by the Marshall Liberal government?

I would say the key issue here is the Federal Government abrogating its Commonwealth quarantine responsibility, along with the continued insistence on high density CBD based quarantine facilities instead of facilities like Howard Springs, or the proposed Toowoomba facility.

The mismanagement of vaccine rollout also an issue.

You are correct. For some reason I was thinking of the Queensland Premier.

My experience in Queensland was similar to South Australia in regards to Check Ins. (Mask were not required). Far superior to Victoria. Both had better weather too.

It was quite startling the difference wasn't it Andy, from landing at the airport and people yelling out to sign in with your QR code to mask wearing everywhere required and being told to do so if you were not doing it (even if it was not fitted correctly ie a nose poking out). Standing in our Pod was fine to not wear one, yet as soon as we walked over the rope "mask on pal!"

Everyone making sure/checking you had scanned the QR code on entry/seating at a venue.

And how do you prove you have had it dc?

All vaccinations are recorded in the Australian Immunisation Register, and you can generate an Immunisation History Statement through the MyGov website or Medicare app. 

Looks like this...

Thank you. I will check it out.

 

So they said we can go and yet tickets don’t appear to be available. What’s the deal? Game is in two days. 

SA just closed its border to Melbourne

There goes my driving trip next week to the Red Centre.

Had even dusted off the tent I haven't used for many many years

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
