    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.

    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.

    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: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.
