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.

    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!

    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

    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.

    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 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
