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 🤗

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
