    I've been saying this all year. Why have reduced crowds only to pack everyone in together. 

     

    Went to Collingwood V Port last Sunday and the bottom level of the AFL members was pretty much full capacity, barely a spare seat.

    And yet the top level was closed off.

    I just don't get it. Prioritising reduced costs over potential health and COVID risks.

    There was a positive case at the Collingwood vs Port game. 

     

    There are always inherent health risks when going to a pies game.

    This means absolutely nothing if it can take up to two weeks for symptoms to show. That’s if you’re buying into it to begin with....

    Flew to QLD on Friday May 7th, there were two new cases in Sydney that week. A man who tested positive on the Wednesday and his wife testing positive on the Thursday. Upon arrival in Brisbane all passengers were greeted by members of QLD police and QLD health. I was simply asked how I was and if I had visited a hot stop, I replied I’m fine and no and was ushered past QLD health.

    NO TEMPERATURE CHECK

    NO LICENSE CHECK

    What if I was lying....Sadly incompetence runs this county. So many mistakes already made and no lessons learnt.

    Better beat the dogs this week and claim top spot before they all sheet themselves and call off the season.

    I had a similar experience returning  from QLD when the breakout happened up there pre Easter. Arrived in melb to the poorest checking I could imagine.

    It’s disappointing to say the least.

    Our public service at work. But I guess it is hard to be at the airport when you working from home.

    You obviously aren't really across what is happening in Health at the moment.

    It’s not surprising how we constantly find ourselves with outbreaks larger than any other state

    Honestly , how can you trust the people in charge when they name an incorrect exposure site and inform you of their bungle 3 weeks later?

    Will be very surprised if there are crowds allowed on the weekend...despite what his being said.

    It will take a lot of luck to get out of this one.

    It has a chilling similarity to Taiwan ( two air crew eating out) and then moving through the community. Cases which were previously zero now 300 plus a day. Singapore with 30-40 per day after being close to zero. Elimination is almost impossible.

    If you can get the jab asap. Got my AZ 3 weeks ago and no problems

    Most would, except the rollout has been slow unless you are in the vulnerable category.

    • 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.
