    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.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
