    I've been saying this all year. Why have reduced crowds only to pack everyone in together. 

     

    Went to Collingwood V Port last Sunday and the bottom level of the AFL members was pretty much full capacity, barely a spare seat.

    And yet the top level was closed off.

    I just don't get it. Prioritising reduced costs over potential health and COVID risks.

    There was a positive case at the Collingwood vs Port game. 

     

    There are always inherent health risks when going to a pies game.

    This means absolutely nothing if it can take up to two weeks for symptoms to show. That’s if you’re buying into it to begin with....

    Flew to QLD on Friday May 7th, there were two new cases in Sydney that week. A man who tested positive on the Wednesday and his wife testing positive on the Thursday. Upon arrival in Brisbane all passengers were greeted by members of QLD police and QLD health. I was simply asked how I was and if I had visited a hot stop, I replied I’m fine and no and was ushered past QLD health.

    NO TEMPERATURE CHECK

    NO LICENSE CHECK

    What if I was lying....Sadly incompetence runs this county. So many mistakes already made and no lessons learnt.

    Better beat the dogs this week and claim top spot before they all sheet themselves and call off the season.

    I had a similar experience returning  from QLD when the breakout happened up there pre Easter. Arrived in melb to the poorest checking I could imagine.

    It’s disappointing to say the least.

    Our public service at work. But I guess it is hard to be at the airport when you working from home.

    You obviously aren't really across what is happening in Health at the moment.

    It’s not surprising how we constantly find ourselves with outbreaks larger than any other state

    Honestly , how can you trust the people in charge when they name an incorrect exposure site and inform you of their bungle 3 weeks later?

    Will be very surprised if there are crowds allowed on the weekend...despite what his being said.

    It will take a lot of luck to get out of this one.

    It has a chilling similarity to Taiwan ( two air crew eating out) and then moving through the community. Cases which were previously zero now 300 plus a day. Singapore with 30-40 per day after being close to zero. Elimination is almost impossible.

    If you can get the jab asap. Got my AZ 3 weeks ago and no problems

    Most would, except the rollout has been slow unless you are in the vulnerable category.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
