It is being reported that Shane Warne has tested positive in London.  He has had both Pfizer shots.

A reminder that no-one is 'safe'.  And no vaccine is fool proof.  Not that anyone claims they are. 

I just hope Warne is ok and that it encourages people to go and get any approved vaccine.  It is the only protection there is.

so what are the actual quarantine requirements for the team in WA.

Are they stil training etc?

I think we are allowed to train, but that is about it.

    Strong chance Brisbane won’t be able to play anymore home and away games in QLD given the government just extended their lockdown. Good for us!

    I think Brisbane are cooked in terms of top 4.

    We'd have to go 0-3 to finish below them, provided they go 3-0.

     

    From The AGE:

    "Martin Pakula, speaking to reporters this morning, said Premier Daniel Andrews had already indicated the grand final would be played in Victoria at the MCG....

    “There’s a lot of work to do. We’ve got effectively about eight weeks ’til the grand final now … so we’ve got a little bit of time, but it’s creeping up on us.”

    He said it was safe to predict that the crowd measures at AFL games going forward would be “different” than it was previously, but “it is possible” crowds will return next weekend."

    My hope LH is that it stops me from dying all benefits after that are a bonus. Second shot last Friday no after effects.

    Well I hope the rest of the adult population is as diligent as your good self, od.

    The Qld CHO is not softening her stance on AZ and 'younger' people.  Terrible advice without context on risks for and against ,especially as the ATAGI is supporting it in NSW because risks have increased.  Terrible leadership. 

    Comes across as having drawn a line she (rather stubbornly in my book) is going to stick to it.  She only needs to look across the border at the number of under 60 yo who have died or are in hospital.

    Or next weekend as in 13/14/15 August?

    The article didn't say but I assumed 6/7/8 August. 

    Either way we can get to see Adelaide game at the G.

    Anyone know if the Eagles are quarantined for 7 days at the moment? I assume they are since they were in Melbourne on the weekend.

    I believe they are required to quarantine at home for 14 days, except training and games.  

    Last week a Freo coach was stood down for leaving home several times last week.

    Thanks LH. The 14 days actually makes sense. Not the pseudoscience, arbitrary 7 days of Victorian clubs.

    The vaccines were never designed to prevent infection just limit the incubation period, hence reducing the symptoms. Don't see how this information is suggesting that there is no fool proof vaccine.

    Snap WA Covid Presser has just been called. Get back on the plane Dees!
     

    Update: Case in WA low viral load, not that big of a concern

    Weak positive, I guess lockdowns/no crowds will all rest on those close contact test results. 

    Hopefully the game can go ahead without a crowd. Big stroke of luck for us if it does

    A postponement would be a bad outcome

    Again, 1000 to 5000 of the Grand final crowd is not hyperbole it's a significant risk.

    I acknowledge things have changed, but the median death rate late last year (about half way to where we are now), was  0.27%.

    For under 70s it was 0.00% to 0.31% (median 0.05%).  If anyone has current peer reviewed mutli sample studies I'd appreciate a link.

    Reportedly a teacher from Al Taqwa College Werribee

    Either that is super unlucky or people who work and attend that college have learnt nothing from last year. A super spreading community if ever there was one. Unbelievable.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • 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 final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
