NT want their own AFL team but won’t let us play this Friday. What a joke!

They should put their hands up to hub a bunch of teams then. If they really want this then they need to grease some wheels.

    I can't see how these two matters are in any way related.  What's the "joke"?

    It is ridiculous that they aren’t allowing AFL players who are tested regularly to play at Alice this week. 

    And at the same time they are asking for a new team. 

    All take, no give.

    Again Fat Tony, there's no connection between the two. 

    One is a Government led health and safety decision for Alice Springs and its communities based on a little pandemic you may have heard of and the other is AFL NT's wish for a local team in the future.

    See my previous posts, the cancellation of this weeks game in Alice is understandable

    Plenty of threads I could put this but this is as good as any. I find it almost laughable that Europe is able to create a system that allows the Euro’s to take place with the players flying in and out and being isolated but Australia’s states after a year of this have still been unable to come up with a system to create freedom of movement to allow professional sport to continue. 

    The players and staff would be amongst the most tested people in the country, it just doesn’t make sense to me. With proper precautions and systems in place this match could easily have taken place in NT.

    Completely different contexts though pates.

    In Europe, they are travelling to countries where there are still thousands of cases a day. The sytems are in place to protect the players from getting covid.

     Here the systems are designed to stop the players spreading covid in states where there are zero cases and no community transmission. So the goal is to protect the population.

    Yep very easy to live in a small island state with close to 0 international arrivals, no interstate work force, very small immigrant population and low inner city movement with low population density. 
    Unless you live in NSW you have legitimately zero right to chest beat about the handling of Covid in your state. They are the only state with similar population movement, density and international arrivals to Melbourne, and they have nailed it without shutting their borders every 3 minutes.

    By every measure this states (victoria)response has been criminally poor and the government both bureaucrats and politicians should be condemned

    I was talking about Tassie. 
    NT has a federal government quarantine facility. The only facility in the country that is actually built properly. And if you want to talk about population density, proximity to other large cities, movement of people and so forth, NT does not come into it. 
    Their facilities are also half empty. 
     

    I think we have had our fair share of bloody poor mismanagement in Victoria. Our second wave as an utter joke. But this lockdown was caused by poor handling of travelers in SA where someone healthy was next door to someone sick. Like wtf?! 
    We should have gone to a snap lockdown after the first mystery case. We didn’t. Now we are in for an extended period of lockdown and restrictions, which is devastating for our economy, our kids and our well being. But this started in SA and they should take some of the blame for learning absolutely nothing about quarantine management.

    Don’t disagree at all. 
    We haven’t done a good job in Victoria. But I’m sick of small states with hardly no international travelers and little density having a crack at Victoria. 
    NSW is the gold standard. If we were as far away as WA, Tassie or the NT, if we shut our borders every 3 minutes like QLD, if we had the population density of SA, then fair point. But Melbourne is in a totally different category. 
    We have the highest population density, we have large movement across the city each day, we have large immigration population who live in large household setting. We also have large number of factories, processing facilities, a massive international port and so forth. We can’t be compared to other states except for NSW. I wish we could go into a government exchange program with them. But we can’t.

    Tickets on sale Wednesday apparently. If regional gets an unlikely exit clause on Thursday from lockdown, I might make a road trip up myself on Friday to add a few extra at the game. The new NSW travelled case of covid has probably ruined that chance though....

    Cheers legend.  Got myself my 6yr old son and a mate tickets. Picking young bloke early from school and on our way by 12pm Noon. Game on Boys....

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
