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.

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.

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!

I like whatever ideas means we don’t have to go to WA.

Agree. GC at Marvel tomorrow. Bring WC here. We play next 3 here and last at kitty litter oval.

Keep the Eagles here after they play the Pies today.

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.
