I guess that means we'll be playing in Adelaide too. *

* Unless there are more cases in SA or in Vic and the season is derailed.

Probably on the same plane as us though so if we're hanging around for hours before the game with nothing to do then so will they.

It sounds like Essendon v Adelaide is going to be the Friday night, which I suppose leaves us for the Thursday night:

11th v 15th? Sounds exciting!

wtf

[Megatron 886]

Official. Next week Thursday night fixture for Port v Dees ?

[DubDee 25,853]

5 day break? 

Brown in for Gawn against Giants

[Fat Tony 5,228]

We were pathetic on the short breaks last year. Time for redemption.

[Slartibartfast 17,265]

Are Victorians allowed into AAMI stadium?

Where is it official?

Yeah my bad. Jumped the gun of the official part. But Ralphy it’s tweeting it. I know he’s been wrong before but that’s on more important issues. I don’t think his sources would spin the truth on next rounds fixturing. Ah bugger it, I’m calling it. I’m going with Ralphy on this occasion ?

What? There goes my trip to Adelaide! Maybe.

For the life of me i wasn't been able to find any info about crowds at the footy in Adelaide (as i was planning on going). Not on the SA gov website or on multiple news sites

Eventually checked the Adelaide oval website. The crows lions game this weekend is capped at 25k.

No changes to restrictions today, so who knows how many will be able to go next Thursday.

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,817]

Essendon V Adelaide on a Friday night eh. Makes complete sense....

As this rate they'll be putting the Essendon V Sydney game on Friday night in preference to the Dees and Dogs in round 20.

[Slartibartfast 17,265]

It's a COVID restricted event so no chance for Victorians to attend, only 1000 allowed in.

not at present.

You can go to SA but you have to test and isolate until negative result on arrival and then for 14 days you are not allowed to go to any public events (more than 1000 attendees)

Could change by game time... who knows these days

Crowd is capped at 50%

And 25k can go

[Slartibartfast 17,265]

Not according to the Club!  I'll try and clarify.

That's for this week.  The Club is telling me it's limited to 1000 next week.  Who knows what will happen between now and then.

Maybe 1000 MFC members tickets?

Makes no sense that 25k can go this week, but only 1000 next week (unless they know an impending outbreak!)

We were always going to be the Thursday night game given the other options and assuming the AFL is trying to minimise five-day breaks and trying to avoid five-day breaks where the opponent has six or more days off.

Essendon v Adelaide on the Friday is unexpected given there is Bulldogs v Sydney, but if the rumour is true that the Dogs didn't want another five-day break, the only other option really is Carlton v Geelong and honestly, who wants yet another Geelong Thurs/Fri night game (tonight is their fourth in a row).

[Jaded No More 68,913]

That is rubbish. Why do we deserve a 5 day break and why do Essendon get a Friday night game? 

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,817]

5 day break into Port would explain why BBB didn't get selected this weekend.
