So Jeff Kennett  has come out and said , it's all a disaster, too hard to make happen and we should call the season off.

I think he should be strapped to a chair and have his eyelids pried open and watch the Hawks 2021 season on repeat, for the rest of the year.

What on earth could the SA be asking for if they have agreed to FIFO for Collingwood.

 

Not much chance of the QB game at AO if that is how the SA are going to negotiate dictate.  Too much grandstanding going on by Premiers.

As I said in earlier post SA is a key reason why we in lockdown. 

They should stop being so stubborn and step, up not for the AFL but for Daniher and the MND cause.

    SA being absolute a holes. We are in lockdown because you stuffed up your quarantine. Not once have I seen them offer to help out Victoria. Bloody typical. 
    Thank god for NSW. One normal state.

    SA will allow AFL games with crowds once the Government there determines that the voting public prefers AFL games to be played at the Adelaide Oval to their fear of another Covid outbreak.

    I'm very fortunate that lockdown is only inconvenient for me - unlike for many whose livelihoods are affected or have kids in home schooling but ...

    On my morning exercise walk 1/3rd of people not wearing masks.  We have 2 Covid sites in the neighbourhood but about 20 people assembled outside the local cafe waiting for their take-away coffee - chatting, half a metre apart - no masks.  Multiply by a thousand Melbourne-wide.  Selfish, thoughtless people who think they are special and the rules don't apply to them.  This is a big reason why there is lockdown and extended lockdown.

    Don't get me started on unvaccinated aged care workers - what they're thinking beggars belief.

    "we are being guided by medical advice"

    Couldn't help but chuckle that Queensland Ana and her health advisor had not been vaccinated and then when they were publicly pressured they decided to get the flu vaccine first

    now suggesting in the Age that the extension will be longer than a week

    My guess is the Monday night of QB

    Would make sense. If they made it a week, it would lift Friday week. And then after 2 weeks in lockdown people are going to want to get out and about, including on the public holiday Monday.

    Very frustrating, but probably good risk management.

    Throws the bombers clash into doubt crowd wise

    The Feds should come to the party, get as much vaccine to victoria as possible and support the vic gov to have use the lockdown period to vaccinate as many people as humanly possible. use the army to support

    Starting with the poor buggers in disability accommodation, aged care facilities and all the related front line workers.

    Set an ambitious goal. Make it a war footing. And vaccinate Victorians.

    This is not state issue. This is a national issue. For Christ sakes we are a country, not a series of self governing islands.  The feds need to step up.

    Leaving potics aside it is an abject moral fail that the feds have not sorted the vaccination to the disability accommodation, aged care

    Seven day lockdown. 

    They already said no regional travel in Victoria over the long weekend. They might ease restrictions slightly.

    I think I find myself in a similar position Polly. Not being able to see my GD's as often as normal is my big problem. Your last line says it all " what were they thinking" I suggest not a lot. The other problem is we have moved firmly into the " it won't happen to me" phase. 

    PS I have 2 friends who yesterday told me they are waiting for the Pfizer vaccine. It is more effective and less chance of problems. But that could be next year! Yes but we don't do much we won't get the virus. So why have it all? Silence.

    Collingwood allowed into Adelaide, just when you think common sense has prevailed the SA CHO comes out with this pearler for those who will attend the match

    is that quote for real?    haven't they heard of "fleeting transmission" and "creeping assumptions"?

    Apparently, Case 5 who is the case zero in the current outbreak was eligible for a  vaccine but hadn't decided to have it. 

    I was told the Flemington vaccination hub, in the northern suburbs ie the epicenter of the current outbreak,  had been virtually empty as over 50's weren't getting vaccinated. 

    No wonder the vaccine roll-out has been slow - people choosing not to have it. 

    The silver lining in the current outbreak is that it has shaken people up and we are now setting vaccination records in Victoria.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
