"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: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
