I wouldn’t get to worried about it, there’s no way that is happening. Not only is it unfair for the people who haven’t been able to get vaccinated but vaccinated people can still get and spread it. 

Data is still shifting on viral loads in vaccinated v unvaccinated, as is risk. It is undeniable there is breakthrough in the vaccinated, so the question then is: why have a no jab no play policy at all? (Open question).

AZ is available right now to anyone over the age of 18.

Discl: I am vaccinated with AZ and am under 50. God, being unable to say under 40 anymore hurts, badly. :sobs:

Tom Browne's tweet is unclear. Is he saying the AFL could prioritise entry for vaccinated spectators in this year's finals series? Or from 2022 onwards?

After listening to the interview with Neil Mitchell and Pakula, both were emphatic that the no jab no entry policy should not and won't be implemented for the grand final.

Apart from any medical reason, it's a good marketing strategy. If people fear they may miss out on something that's important to them it might make them get vaccinated.

As long as it is within the official medical advice. ie a 25 year old should not be making a health risk assessment with their doctor RE the risk of the AZ with the "you need this to go to footy finals" over their head.

 

I had my second AZ jab this morning, just a few weeks ago I looked at the fixture and  I thought I might be able to see the last couple of games at the G. Well it looks the best I can do is perhaps get to the Casey games. Oh well there is still the tenth best option of watching again on TV I guess. Such is life in the 21st century. Oh forgot to mention when I arrived at Sunshine hospital there were 25 people in the Pfizer queue and Zero in AZ, I walked straight in and all was finished in 30 minutes including the compulsory 15 min wait after the injection. Young nurse told they have AZ shots come out of there ears.

I have that exact thought over my head (except for the 25 year old bit ?)

But as stated earlier, I can't see a "no jab no entry policy" into the footy until there is sufficient supply of vaccine.

So 2022 is the time.

How does this impact our game today and then the match in Perth next week?

Hopefully we fly home tonight and play West Coast in the safe haven that is Victoria ?

Will the Queensland govt allow a game to go ahead?

Will the WA government allow us into Perth if we’ve been to Queensland ??

Edited by DeeZee

How unlucky are we that this didn’t happen yesterday so we could avoid going there? Genuinely a [censored]. 
Absolutely over this year and this season.

Carrara is not one the 11 LGAs in lockdown. So maybe game not impacted? Crowd?

Both huge questions, I doubt WA will let us in now whether we play today or not

What if some of the GC players live in hotspots though?

Exactly, but lockdown doesn’t start till 4pm so they can get to the game then go home or some sort of quarantine team hub.

Assume ESS v Swans at Gabba will be affected too, game tonight.

Postponed.

Any chance we could get the Suns to Melbourne tonight and play them at Marvel?

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
