Where will we play the Lions?

If we can’t play in Alice play it at the G and move another game of ours there later on in the year. 

[rpfc 29,030]

More likely that we don’t play in Melbourne than Alice. Lions would have to be kept away to keep the integrity of the schedule. 

Surreal times.

Hope NT lets us in.

There is the issue of Queensland not allowing Brisbane to travel to Victoria. 

QLD probably won't let us travel to QLD so is Sydney/Canberra the only option?

Our home game so we should get home ground advantage. Play it in Alice, have all the guys take a 2nd test this week if need be.

Hope they get to play it at Alice Springs, a Friday night top of the table clash will be great there.

Would suck to have to play at Sydney

No I disagree It makes perfect logic if we can get a crowd to play at theG.

Reduce  to 40% we get 35,000 snd make some money and transfer Hawthorn  game later in year to Alice.  Not Adelaide   Game. 

[Whispering_Jack 31,380]

Hope they play it at Metricon Stadium for the selfish reason that I’m currently hunkered down and doing it rough in the warmth and brilliant sunshine of late autumn on the Gold Coast while my thoughts are always with my fellow Victorians, locked down, shivering and huddled around fireplaces. I’m up for the challenge of single handedly supporting the Demons to a big win at Carrara if Gillon provides me with the challenge.

[Rod Grinter Riot Squad 5,681]

Play it in Alice and make it our hub!

Isn't it more a case of Brisbane not being able to return to Queensland or us to travel to Queensland?

[Jaded No More 68,976]

Would be a big financial blow if we can’t go to the NT. That game is worth $700k to us. 
I hope we can reason with the NT. They seem less insane than QLD and WA. Perhaps we can fly out there early, go into a mini lockdown, test and then play and fly straight home after the game?

This would be massive for the NT  i can understand their government's position its a shame they want to give up this oppourtunity prime time Friday Night, they have been loyal to us in the darkest of times. 

Would be extremely cruel to prevent them from such a marquee event one in which they thought would never eventuate.

I understant covid is the issue but the players, staff and coaches are quarantining at home and aren’t in contact with others from the public.

Whispering, I'm right with ya, hard to cop these winter temps of 22 degrees. If the game is down there I'll be right with ya. But unfortunately think we may bet our bye this week with a resigned schedule for later in the season 

[Diamond_Jim 12,779]

The best outcome would be a game swap. Move a future game against a lesser Melbourne based club to next weekend.

First question is who has the bye next week and are we scheduled to play them twice.

Sadly covid has compromised the financial position of most clubs . We sold our home games so we could reduce our losses as our games at G were often against interstate side at bad times( how many mothers day games did we get( excluding this year)  . A couple of successful years should increase membership . Not sure when nt contract expires but hopefully soon .  A 700k loss would really hurt us

[Tony Tea 2,816]

Play it at Brunswick Street or The Junction.

Case numbers in the next few days could be a factor.
