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?

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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?

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
