Oh how the tides have turned. This disruption so close to game time is not great. Given they have had the main run, what else is usually done around the club between main training session and game day? At least Doggies will be in the same position as us.

    Disruption would more likely be mental than physical.

    It hasn’t got a patch on round 1 last year though. 
    I think the players (like all of us) have become somewhat conditioned to dynamic.

    Rehab group still have contact with other players and staff who then in turn have contact with other players and staff.

    For this not to be an issue in regards to playing this match on Friday as scheduled it has to be a player who has zero contact with other players and staff or they all return a negative result. Having said that even returning a negative result might not be enough given that this virus sometimes doesn't show up till a few days later and presumably they've all be tested just today.

    Just ask Wollert man...

    Could they not have spared 700 vaccines and get the players vaccinated FFS.

    Exactly. However I was under the impression that he perhaps caught it in HQ after his final test on day 13.

    Thats exactly what it was.

    Why is everyone so keen for this game - and round - to go ahead? In terms of ladder position and outside of finals, this is one of our most keenly anticipated matches in years. Now both teams have had significant disruptions, and the match will be played in an empty stadium without a crowd. I've personally lost all interest, and I say this with having no prospect of attending the game live to begin with. 

    Why not just bring the bye forward and give it a week to see what happens, while also helping to minimise the risk of exposure to players - which could disrupt the competition to a much greater degree. ? Other recent snap lockdowns have proven successful, and we may just get crowds allowed in and $$$. Instead, our players have to wait till gameday to see if the match is even going ahead. I understand the AFL's get-as-many-games-done-when-you-can mentality last year, but this is a completely different situation.

    I agree. The game if it goes ahead will be more like an experiment or a circus.

    The AFL has asked Richmond to spend the next 3 weeks playing interstate, moving the blockbuster Dreamtime game to Perth.  The AFL would not surrender that game from the G lightly.  One could be forgiven for thinking they have a 'heads up' from the Vic gov't that this time the covid lockdown might go on for a while. 

    That we have gone straight to Stage 3 lockdown, which wasn't the case in the last two 'mini' lockdowns, also hints that this time lockdown might be prolonged.

    I can't see it not being prolonged. There is no way they will know in a week if the lockdown has been effective. Even if the case numbers come down or level out. They will need to wait a week or maybe even 2 to make sure.

    Agreed.  I was referencing to the poster's comment on success of other recent lockdowns with restrictions promptly lifted, implying the same will happen this time.  This time is different.

    I'm sure the government didn't announce a longer lockdown to not upset everyone. 

    This time we all need to get used to being locked up again for at least a few weeks.

    relax everyone I just discovered a bottle of Irish SM that will help.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
