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: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
