Maybe the AFL can just give us the 4 points after initially taking it away from us last week.

Good luck with the latest lockdown, fellow Demonlanders.  Here are some tips from NSW:

Agree. I love the fact that i am lucky to live in a country where the overwhelming majority of people are prepared to honor their social contract obligations. Sure there are a very, very tin

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.

Didn't the original case out of SA Hotel Quarantine test negative prior to leaving HQ & then tested positive in VIC?

Best to keep them in Quarantine for a few more days and test again Friday morning.

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.

You sound surprised BBP. Money wins every time.

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.

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?

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

I agree. There will no doubt be more cases in the coming days and as soon as there are no links they will pull the pin and have a snap lockdown.

    HIGHLIGHTS/LOWLIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne traveled across the continent to take on the Fremantle Dockers in sweltering conditions at Mandurah south of Perth in a game that delivered the club both its highlight and its lowlight in the first minute.  But first, let’s start by doing away with the usual cliches used in connection with the game. It was just a practice match and the result didn’t matter. Bad kicking is bad football. The game was played in severe heat, the swirly breeze played havoc with both teams resulting in

    The Dees were blown out of the water early by the Fremantle Dockers before fighting back and going down by 19 points in their final practice match of the preseason before Round 1. Remember it's only a practice match if you lose.

    TRAINING: Friday 28th February 2025

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you their observations from today's training session before the Demons head off to Perth for their final Practice Match. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning, not much wind, more than a couple of dozen spectators.  The players were up and about, boisterous and having fun. One of their last drills were three teams competing in a hard at it, handball game in a small area. Goody

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom
