    It's a tier 2 site. Level 2 MCC Members.

    Tier 2 means you need to get tested immediately and isolate until you get a negative result.

    So if anyone on Demonland was at that game, shame on you for wasting your precious life, but also, go get tested! 

    It takes humans over 20 years to get into Level 2 of the MCC Members. It took Covid just a few days.

    If that's not a justification for everyone getting vaccinated, I don't know what is.

    Are you suggesting our club spread Covid to Sydney?!

    No I’m not but it’s stories like these along with the NRL player who is seeking an exemption to watch his wife give birth today and travel to the QLD in his personal car whilst most people can’t get interstate to see a terminally ill loved one that have people asking why are there so many contradictions with the rules.

    So, logically, you’d have to think a hard 6 week lockdown for anyone who barracks for either of those 2 teams is the only solution.

    It’s for the good of the nation.

    Both teams should be removed from the competition for 2 weeks.

    No surprise. It was only a matter of time. The only surprise is that it took a day or two longer than I expected. 

    Yes, the fickle finger of fate

    It justifies my decision to stay away from the G until vaccinated. My second shot is booked for 30/7.

    This post nearly gave me a heart attack. I've just realised you mean there is a 60+ year old unvaccinated person in hospital. On my first reading I thought you meant there were now more than 60 people in hospital with Covid. As bad as it is, one person in hospital is significantly less unnerving than there being more than 60.

    AND as soon at it gets in, it kicks everyone else out.

    I for one refuse to go to any party that little [censored] is going to. Of course, being in Sydney that means I've literally left the house just three times in the last five days and only once did I actually enter any other enclosed space. Toilet paper waits for no man.

    I've got family down in Victoria who really shrink into themselves at any mention of another lockdown so like most people on here I'm clinging to the desperate hope that the current 'seven in one' cluster is as far as things go.

    There may be some satisfying irony in that once they go to jail they will be so hated in there they will have to spent much of their sentence in protective isolation.

    Restrictions are looming.

    Can anyone foresee the possibility of the 25K travel limit coming in but still letting people attend this weekend's footy, provided they don't travel more than 25K.

    WA shut the border to Victoria because they are literally the worst. Geelong KOD and now don't need to play Freo at Optus Stadium?

    I really really really really don't have enough bad things to say about the removalists who did the wrong thing and the family who came back on a red zone permit and went to Coles. I hope all these people rot in the pits of hell for eternity!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    If they cap the crowd this week then how about they do something about social distancing? Instead of cramming everyone into smaller zones make the entire ground available and have stewards requesting people give distance between the next person. It’s far and away the most baffling thing about how Australia has managed reopening of things.

    If they do cap the crowds I assume we will still be safe with 20,000. Doubt anyone is turning up from Hawthorn.

    Effective immediately, Victoria will be upgraded from “very low risk” to “low risk”, meaning arrivals from the State will be required to immediately get tested, self-isolate for a fortnight and be swabbed again on day 11.

    Virgin flight VA681 from Melbourne touched down in Perth just after 1.30pm this afternoon and another Virgin flight VA9001 carrying Geelong’s AFL squad from the city is already in the air and due to touch down at 2.45pm.

    The Cats are scheduled to battle Fremantle at Optus Stadium Thursday night.

    They just said on the news Geelong will be met by police, taken to be tested and then told to isolate until they return a negative test result.

    NSW may have done SFA for too long, but WA is another level of hysteria altogether. Absolute clowns.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
