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.

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

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

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
