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.

    Certainly easier to keep Eagles here and play the game here next weekend.

    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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
