COVID & AFL 2021

South Australia border closures:

"From midnight tonight, people coming to the state from Melbourne, Geelong and Bacchus Marsh will need to quarantine for two weeks.

Anyone coming from other parts of the Victoria will need to undergo testing on days one, five and 13, but will not have to isolate once they get their first test result.

The 70 kilometre border bubble with Victoria will continue.

Plans to lift border restrictions with south eastern Queensland have been cancelled, but testing requirements will be lifted for people coming from Townsville and Birdsville"

 

This adds further weight to the thought teams that flew to Qld today will be playing SA teams (and maybe WA) teams in SEQ in rounds 19-20.

My son lives in Poland (great vaccination rate) and right now he and his fiancée are holidaying in Italy. Italy!!! No masks, no quarantining, no social-distancing.

Actually, that's not at all true:

"Wearing a face mask is always mandatory in indoor public places throughout Italy.
Masks are no longer mandatory outdoors, but you must always carry one with you and wear it if you find yourself in crowded conditions that do not allow the 1 metre safety distance to be maintained."

As for quarantine, you only escape it if you're fully vaccinated, and even then, arrivals from some countries still have to do the negative test/quaratine routine.

Same as for most European countries.

St Kilda will probably have to fly out today.

    what is it about AFL players travelling on planes in winter in footy shorts.

    Noticed MFC last week travelling to Adelaide and other teams today to Brisbane.

     

    If you’re in Melbourne, go get takeaway from your local restaurant tonight and save the massive food wastage these businesses are about to have thanks to a last minute lockdown. Absolute balls.

    Sick of lockdowns being handled like PR exercises. leak the chance of a lockdown to the press, warn school. wait 3-4 hours for word to get out and everyone to emotionally come to terms with the chance of a lockdown

    Just [censored] do it already!

    The one highlight of this year with being unable to travel or book any events has been football. Being robbed of going to games is just another kick in the guts. 
    It’s getting harder and harder to find any joy in living in this state.

    It’s 3 notoriously headline seeking Medicos in the US who reject the need for randomised controlled trials (RCT) to legitimise drug efficacy. The entire medical model of medication-based therapy (prevention and cure) is based on RCTs. Ivermectin has not met any standards of efficacy in RCTs. That is science. Any quoting of its positive effect anecdotal, and we went down this route early with hydroxychloroquine. It’s a distraction to create notoriety and fuel spurious reportage. If only we could put all that energy into the KNOWN EVIDENTIAL SCIENCE - vaccination and effective quarantine , we’d be a lot happier and healthier. 

    University of Oxford have commenced a trial. It's properly supported and funded by the UK government so we'll soon know once and for all whether this drug is effective of not

    Are games in Melbourne still likely to go ahead...just without crowds? Sorry if i missed info on this already

    Haven’t mentioned footy. Assume the games will go ahead without crowds.

    *masked and within 5km. Don’t call the police!

    Chairman Dan has been babbling on for over half an hour and I still havn't heard anything about footy crowds or distances travelled etc. Presume it is the same as last time.

    Anyway the real guess is how long is this really going to last ? I am going to say 5 weeks.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
