Being in WA, this is nuts. 

Please Dees, please make the GF. 

I will represent you all. 

I will eat 50 pies, drink 4,000 beers and make a dozen cheese boards. 

 

Gillon on is naive in the extreme trusting McGowan - he who closed Optus as crowds arrived over one case.  
Rather like Biden trusting the Taliban to let anyone who wants to leave Kabul do so. 
Probsbly the most trustworthy would be SA or Tasmania (and better time zone too especially if he wants smother night match )

I wonder about how this works commercially? Has the WA Government had to make a payment to the AFL to be the exclusive "fall back" option or has the AFL had to make a payment to Optus Stadium as a holding deposit in case it needs to use the ground? I guess it could be both.

Or neither.

I like this.

WA has shown that it will turn up for non Eagles and Dockers matches so long as the occasion is right. See Dreamtime.

The only stadium in Australia that can provide an MCG like experience is Perth Stadium. 

While not threatening to his government, if he pulled a swifty prior to the match, it would likely hurt his astronomical popularity in WA (and I'm hoping the AFL have negotiated the clauses applying to potential shutdowns in case of COVID).

At least if Port make it to the big dance they won't have a game ground advantage.

 

Looks like even the Semi Finals and Prelims could be held in Perth too as the Cats and Dees are both flying to Perth after their games this weekend.

I’m sure the Western Demons will do us proud!

You behave now @Ethan Trembley!


Well this is a better option than the chance of playing port in ADelaide.

Just hope all the non mfc fans don't hate us for beating eagles and boo us to death.

Alice Springs would have been my choice but probably too small.

Still got one month…

need cases to be dropping, vax rates rising in Vic

expect only vaxxed supporters allowed in, entry times, etc.

cmon Dees, cmon the big V, counting on you both….

Unfortunately there is not enough time to get cases down to zero and also have a decent crowd for a finals like atmosphere. I know cases have slowly chipped down the last 2 days but we could be over a hundred in a day or two out of nowhere such is the unpredictability of this virus.

I think given Pfizer has just been made available to everyone this week, they can certainly make the game open only to those with one dose and a mandatory test 72 hours pre game and/or a rapid test on the day?  And say 30,000 capacity? 

It could be a good trial for things to come once we open up more. 
But firstly we need people to sit the hell down and stay home and stop waiting so long to get tested! FFS Victorians be less dumb!

I've resigned myself to the fact it won't be at the G and by some miracle it is at reduced capacity I'm not really in the position to afford what will be Astronomical prices . And if we are still in lockdown I don't give a flying F my parents and sister who I've been going to games with every week for 30+ years are coming over to watch with me.

One of the best ways they will get the final 20% to get vaccinated is to make it a prerequisite for entry into the footy and other entertainment venues.

However I'm pretty sure I've heard comment from the Vic Gov saying they weren't going to go down this route this year.

Next year I have no doubt this will be the case but they need the infrastructure in place to do it properly and not just flashing a card that can be easily forged.

I don't see why we can't hold it and just make it for double jabbas only.  Don't open any catering/bars and anyone in the toilets / entry points masked.  1/3rd capacity with distancing.  35,000 and open it up to members only.   NO CORPORATES!  I know it's not this simple and we have to make it of course but no Harmes in dreaming a little surely

I have not given up hope, covid numbers are going down, so fingers crossed it's at the G🙏

Happy Dance GIF by Rodney Dangerfield

Sounds like I immediately need to apply for a reverse financed internship in the match day roles at the club then aha 

This is the definition of optimism.

 

I bought a one way Flexi plane ticket to Perth leaving Sept 9 (with a 15 day window to the GF if it is on the 28th of sept).

I'll be double vaccinated by Aug 31 and I've told work if there's chance to get to perth, I'm gone!

 

Just rip the bandaid off already, Gil. 😞

Double jabs only would still eliminate people who have got their jabs as soon as possible, yet have to wait 12 weeks between shots. Like myself.

I’d be extremely peeved off if I couldn’t make it as someone one in this camp + premium reserved seat holder

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
