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

If they keep next week’s game on Sat we won’t play Monday night. Was only mentioned as a possibility, who knows what next week will look like now.

    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.

    As you alluded too, AFL players adhere to different protocols. 
    That is what makes me think they would be restricted to the plane, especially when they are awaiting their next destination.
    To let people off the plane means when they get that clearance they have to go through the whole boarding procedure again where the pilots will generally rather keep the passengers on the plane, which I have experienced before with emergency landing/flight destination changes.

    But really, we are both just guessing here aren't we?

    Passengers on board during refuelling CAO 20.9 (4.2)

    The aircraft operator must ensure that AVGAS is not loaded onto an aircraft while passengers are on board, or entering or leaving, the aircraft.

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

     

    Boys, we have two options.

    Option one, disembark and risk getting covid.

    Option two, stay on the plane and risk dying in a fiery avaiation fuel explosion.

    Show of hands?

    Option one it is.

    Oh, don't bother waking tmac up.

    So if we play tomorrow it will need to be really early so we can get a flight to Perth to serve our 7 day quarantine in time for a Sunday night game the following week? 

    We should just stay in Melbourne as the Eagles are already here and play at their choice or venue in vic ;)

    I reckon the players would be pretty stressed out by this stuff unfolding. Hopefully the players can start practicing for the players revue items to keep everyone smiling! ?

    West Coast should just stay here.

    Perths government can react pretty quickly to covid cases and change everything.

    Can’t see WA government accepting if we play a qld team tomorrow that’s been in the community prior to an outbreak. Makes most sense to keep teams in Victoria especially if AFL is stead strong on protecting the pre finals bye . Bad luck west coast

    We might as well treat the next month as a preseason for finals. Doesn't matter where we finish, just get the squad through and prepare for a 4 week run in September.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
