You'd think this would be possible.

The only things I can see getting in the way are:

Gold Coast being allowed to travel into Melbourne by Plane

How long do Melbourne need to quarantine before playing West Coast in Perth (Is it 7 days?)

They can push our game out to Sunday or better yet since west coast are here already play the game here?!

    Doubt it. Wouldn’t they have to also isolate for 7 days before playing?

    I’d say we’ll be playing GC in the pre finals bye if indeed we’re headed to Perth as we speak.

    Hopefully the game if that happens can’t affect our position and we play all our reserves and Suns players are in holiday mode.

    Plane runs out of fuel mid air. And this is how the MFC ends ?‍♀️?

    Not a problem, look who's piloting the plane

    I think it needs to be a hub from here on. No [censored] farting around with QLD anymore. Our game against GC needs to be in Melbourne. 

    Gc are a claytons team anyway.


    Not only our game but the two other games I was interested in watching are cancelled too. 
     

    man this blows

    I reckon they will try to play the GC match in Melbourne either tomorrow or Monday. Imo this is the fairest approach as the alternative to cram the remaining rounds and provide a bye provides an unfair advantages to the teams that can plan for their bye re training loads, resting players etc, where as ours is imposed on match day 3 hours before the bounce.

    Too much going on , 3AW mentioned possible Monday night game for us also. Time to slam some Jager Bombs at the local before closing that too.

    I have been sitting here looking for an up side. The power of positive thinking tells me I can relax now there is no game today, it should be a stress free day now.

    No they're supposedly flying into Melbourne today.

    This is an absolute mess really. GMHB stadium,  Marvel, and MCG are all free tomorrow.  We could have easily played in one of those venue's and then immediately fly out to Peth. We then push next weeks game to a Sunday due to the 7 day lockdown.

    The ramifications now of missing a game is potentially huge.

     

    Or just bring WCE to Melbourne next week as well

    Except we will have a five day turnaround the following game.

    In that case then that would be the worst outcome, all other final teams have a week of but not us??

    NO WAY HOSE!

    Not 100% sure, but I thought the rule was passengers weren't allowed to be on board during refueling.

    There is no reason why the players wouldn't be let off the plane as airports continue to operate even in a lockdown and unless the terminal becomes an exposure site the players would be fine re isolation.

    While there is a risk that GC players have been caught up in an exposure site since the 27th, which I'm assuming they have already been in lockdown protocols given there have been a small number of local community cases on Queensland over the past week, it shouldn't impact teams being given exemptions to play in Vic or WA.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
