I must admit I was in the no rush category to get vaccinated.

But now I have have had my first jab and scheduled for 2nd in a fortnight.

I'm much more concerned about missing a MFC grand final than catching covid.

I am getting jabbed on Sunday but due to the timeframe involved won't be double jabbed before any Grand Final, not that WA would let me in. If we do make it and win, would be happy enough for my GFG to be transferred into DemonShop Credit aha.

For those in Vic, are there any states that will allow you in? I’m thinking some of the VIPs could travel to an interim state, spend the required time there before heading to Perth. Obviously would only work for those who don’t have day jobs and would have to start the process before knowing if we’ll make it…

The only state that will let us in is NSW

We are high risk Do Not Enter status everywhere else.

Without getting ahead of ourselves, a question that should probably be considered is who will present the Premiership Cup if we were able to win the flag in Perth? That is, presuming Emperor McGowan maintains his current position of allowing nobody other than players and direct support staff into the state. 

Some possibilities include Shane Woewodin, Earl Spalding? Not sure of any other notable ex-Demons players currently living in WA at present... maybe Nathan Jones, presuming he won't be playing, but flies over as part of the extended squad? (that would be weird but not necessarily a bad idea)...

I like Jonesy if he’s not in the team. Deserves to be on the podium but probably won’t get into the team. Given the current situation this is the year you could do something like that and it not be weird.

It would still be weird, but stuff 'em. As long as Goody doesn't give his coaches medal away like Beverage did (not that he would - Goodwin has far to much sense for such a silly display).

This - why can’t proven double jabbers only be admitted? 
Medicare status is on my phone. Mandate mask wearing. 

Makes no difference Vax doesnt stop you getting Covid!

You've made your choice and that's fine but I would have been royally peed off if you were in the queue yesterday ahead of my 24yo daughter who has waited all this time for the recommended vaccination.

How about we deal with the misinformation without the aggression. I hope your daughter got her shot. We will all be getting booster mRNA's from early next year anyway. It would have been nice to have been told that earlier.

Really, I hadn't pegged you as ageist. Misinformation is everywhere and I think it is important to point it out.

At the very least, he would be at the ground. With WA Govt restrictions on non essential people (player's partners, non core club staff etc), he'd be available and a good option (if he's not selected).

McGowan can get stuffed. Don't host any finals in W.A. Come home after the game demons.

Surely while we wait to see what happens with these truck driver cases the teams should stay in SA?

Have given up on coming home, too many unknowns, and today the internet servers died at the office/guest house, limited bandwidth and no live game tomorrow, the horror, the horror….

Gillon the Gullible has been well and truly conned by the Emperor.

In fact don’t allow WCE or Freo to play at all next year without a guarantee of open borders and no lockdowns.  A 16 team competition would allow a more nearly equitable draw … and lessen the go home factor for Jacko and Riv 🤗

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
