Yep. Its funny spot up there on the bluff, but beautiful 

Am i going crazy? Am i right that Frankston are no longer in the VFL? 

What a powerhouse they were.

I think Frankston is back in along with another 2,327 teams from the rest of Australia.

A billion? Really?

Also, there's some suggestion the removalists did not break the mask-wearing rule which may have an exemption for professionals (for want of a better term) while they are moving furniture.

Dont really care just sick of the un hinged hectoring from politicians health professionals and media professionals

yes well over a billion dollars never said  the removalists did break laws what I'm talking about is the over the top reaction by the people running the show Police offficers giving health advice and warning us all of the consequences and risk of charges and fines when its a hollow threat

what we need is calmness and clear concise communication something that went missing when this Pandemic started

NT has opened its borders to Victoria. Do you think we play the Gold Coast in Darwin?

Seems the easiest path given both Qld and Vic can travel freely to from NT

I've gone from obsessively checking infection numbers and related info to refreshing twitter feeds and checking demomnland for any information on where our game in 3 DAYS is going to be played.

Please let it be Metricon

That would only happen if they rescheduled all the game timings, and have the broadcasters agree, we couldn't play at 3:10pm in Darwin - it'll be 32 degrees! Whereas at Metricon it's only projected to be 22.

Really hoping it's metricon as well, just so I can finally get to a game this year. I was in Melbourne for 2 games this year and couldn't go due to snap lockdowns

NT will be driven by money

If NT govt is prepared to pay Suns it's on.

I suspect NT is trying to delay game until next week so they can get some economic benefit from the activity.

Get ready to be shafted ... it's the Melbourne way

Games played in the southern states in late March and April are often played in temperatures of 32 degrees or more. I hope we don't have to go to Darwin to play during the night or day, but I'm not sure a 32 degree temperature in the dry season will be sufficient reason to stop it from happening.

The NT decision will also be driven by the broadcaster who may not have enough time to setup all the required camera equipment around the ground etc. given it's a non standard venue.

I recall last year they played Alice Springs and Darwin in back to back rounds and the Channel 7 team drove between the two grounds with all the gear and setup in the week in between.

Pretty sensible and logical view by the sports minister.

How can you implement a "No jab No entry" policy if there's not enough vaccine to go around?

And in a related point, if certain age groups have been locked out of the process until it's too late to be fully vaccinated before the Grand Final.

Round 1, 2022 is a different matter. I'd be all for it then.

I agree with you both entirely, but I can nevertheless foresee the government saying that throughout the pandemic different pockets of society have been impacted in different ways, that there is no universal fairness, and that it's in the best interests of the competition/economy/society generally if we have a Grand Final with 100,000 vaccinated fans as compared to 40,000 allowing unvaccinated.

It would disappoint and anger me unquantifiably, but I can see it happening.

Surely they’ll defer this policy until months after the additional vaccines come into Australia.

You can’t promote getting vaccinated but not yet have the product available for all.

It would be absolute discrimination for that cohort of society (under 40’s) to be excluded from the event and should be challenged.

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.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
