I don't think I've seen anyone mention this yet, but while I would prefer to see the game go ahead in Adelaide where it would be bound to have pretty close to a sell out crowd, would ND be in a fit enough state to cope with the rigors of traveling to South Australia and possibly being accommodated there as well (a return trip on the one day would no doubt be very taxing on him), which is logistically far more difficult than a short trip to the 'G'.  It would be a shame to see the event going ahead without ND in attendance.

    Probably more likely to do a live cross during the event with him.  I think from an MND fundraiser perspective it’s important that it remains flexible and agile.

    Perth is still bloody 21oC so they're out for the Freeze.

    Why not have it played at either Geelong or Ballarat, there'll be density limits, but at least they get a crowd of the teams supporters, not just a quarter filled stadium interstate. Plus if it's played in Ballarat then they won't have to worry about adding ice to the slide water, it'll be half frozen over already.

    Sutton hasn't ruled out crowds for Queens birthday and is encouraged by the data over the last couple of days.

    When asked he could've easily shut the idea down.

    If it ends up here in Radelaide then I will try my guts out to make sure the cameras see my #PositiveLingers shirt ?

    Wrong spelling of Sadelaide? Or is it Badelaide? ?

    And they want to blame Victoria for the latest outbreak after comments like that by the SA CHO. 
    If QB was to move I’d prefer Adelaide Oval.

    Definitely no to Sydney for the QB game. Not big enough of a crowd. SA are bastards I don’t want to give it to them. WA too far to travel altho we have a bye the following week. QLD not enough interest.

    What a pathetic statement. It doesn't matter what political party or State we are being run by a pack of morons.

    The Optus Stadium sellout for the Dreamtime game absolutely solidifies the idea of Adelaide Oval for me. Will potentially be a fantastic and unique event. Make it happen.

    Even worse is that the opposition parties at both Federal and State levels are totally useless as well.

    only if they guarantee the gate

    WA are equally if not more desperate

    Just throwing a (probably impossible) idea out there. If NT are banning entrance from Victoria surely by the time our QB comes along the players will have spent enough time quarantined from the outside world and away from Victorian cases that we could move the game to NT. Kill two birds with one stone as it were, and at least we’re not giving up a future home game that members can go to, and we get money from the NT agreement. 

    Unlikely, but just a thought.

    Not a dumb idea at all for me. If they can move a State of Origin game to Townsville in a sub par stadium where they have to bring in temporary stands. Not sure what others think I’m sure there’s some amazing cases to keep kicking the can down the Adelaide and Sydney road..

    What a [censored] embarrassment.  She's the CHO. 

    WOW

    I would love to hear the statement directly from medical professional who made that recommendation. It just sounds idiotic, particularly when you consider the dangers of someone not catching the ball and it potentially hitting someone vulnerable (such as an infant/child, the elderly, or a disabled person). I wonder if they will have the netting up behind the goals?

    so why extend the lockdown

    Why not tell us what the criteria are for ending the lockdown?

    Answer is they don't know and are flying by the seat of their pants.

    Not sure if the players are going to give Covid to the crowd, or the crowd are going to give it to the players! ?

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
