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!

I think Victoria is classified as 'medium risk'.  Does that not require an entry permit first then do the14 day quarantine?

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

Single jab would suffice surely with a negative test.

Just rip the bandaid off already, Gil. 😞

I'm not sure he can. Doesn't the AFL have an agreement with the State of Victoria that the GF will be at the MCG for the next 30-50 years? If that's right, I think the AFL needs the Vic Govt's approval to stage it elsewhere and possibly that approval has not as yet been forthcoming.

I'm not expecting the Vic Govt to be unreasonable. I just think they're not quite ready yet to concede.

I could be wrong but I don't think you can just rock up to WA from Victoria and just do 14 days quarantine for a holiday. I'd have thought you'd have to have a reason ie: moving to WA and not just to go to the footy?

If we’re medium risk by GF day, I doubt even the MFC board of directors let alone MFC supporters would even be allowed in.

That’s exactly correct.

Low risk means you can quarantine for 14 days in WA for any reason.

Medium risk means you must have a special permit to enter.

I think there’s going to be some influential Melbourne people that will miss the Gf, as well as the die hard supporters.

No we can't.  That is what I mean about needing an entry permit while we are classified medium risk.  And McGovern ist giving those only in exceptional circumstances.  

I was gently alerting @Doug Reemerto the fact he needs an entry permit from Victoria which he may not have considered.

They may not.  Mc Govern has made it clear player/staff families won't be allowed in and any VIP's must do the 14 day quarantine assuming they can get an entry permit.

I’ve checked the WA G2 pass website and you’re correct - as a medium risk you need to be an ‘approved traveller’ to get let in even to do hotel quarantine. This may change if we were categorised a low risk but I just can’t see that happening in time.

I am well aware of the WA permit situation. 
 

I read the entire thing 2 weeks ago. I bought the airfare for $300. It’s a flexi ticket. So if I cancel I can get a flight credit. At the time I was hoping the COVID cases would go down and hopefully VIC would be a low risk area allowed to quarantine for 14 days to enter.

After the price hike of the 2018 Prelim which I did not go to. I thought I would rather roll the dice early on. 
 

Think I may need a team of lawyers of the Mr Burns caliber to find a loop hole now though!

Vote 1 Rusty Nails for Premiere!

A month is early to be making plans for the GF but I get that they need to have a plan.

Back to Radelaide then i guess

Well if MFC potentially winning a flag for the first time in 57 years isn't exceptional circumstances, I don't know what is!

I honestly never thought I'd see one in my lifetime and now I have hope

*tongue in cheek


Imagine… cases go down in Victoria… WA has an outbreak the week after the prelim… GF back in Victoria. Bam!

Speaking of the G, we trained there today.

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. 

As another fellow WA Demons fan, it feels almost too good be true. 
 

Desperately hoping the inspirational power of Agassi and Giannis propels us into the GF.

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 need the fonzi shark jumping gif

taliban = this

okie dokes!

👀👀📡🏌🏻🧨🤷‍♀️

So McGowan has already gone back on his promise to open the borders at 70 80% vaccinated with other state dictators and now the AFL has given this clown approval by holding the Grand Final there. Disgusted.

Would've thought this inspirational power would be more suited to WCE. 😬

I haven't passed this with the MFC yet but I would be happy to take part in a recreation of the GF with the guys should they be successful? The medieval guys in the park look pretty cool.

I can do a pretty good "Dangerwinge" if Jack Viney promises not to bash my head in, any takers?

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
