I don't see why the WA government can't allow some sort of FIFO arrangement for VIC based fans like the UK did for itallians in the euro 2020 final. Test before the game, negative, fly in shuttle to the ground fly out no contact with the public barring those in the stadium.

 

Because Mark McGowan.

Because macgowan wants to be reelected and he couldnt care about melbourne (non wa)supporters 

About 7 weeks ago I booked seat to Perth  thinking Gf was heading that way in case we were getting out of covid . About 4 weeks ago when donut day lasted 3 hours and we went from 1 to 6 and lockdown 666 came in , thought I was cooked . Sadly I will cancel in a few weeks

I don’t think I could seriously indulge myself in that. As my uncle who’s in poor health is living with my father, I can visit as a carer. Watching it with dad is more important than being there. Youngest brother wants to go, but won’t unless we make it for sure. Bit hard when you need to quarantine.

 

Luckily for me South Australians are now able to travel to WA without quarantining,

If we do make the GF the only issue would be potentially travelling with a plane full of Port Adelaide Supporters, basically hell on an aircraft.

The cost and inconvenience of doing that has ruled me out. How much did the hotel cost you for the quarantine period?

I had to quarantine in a hotel last year. All up $3600 for the fortnight. I did it in Adelaide but I’m guessing the cost wouldn’t vary much.

Victorians can’t even quarantine in WA for 14 days unless they have a special exemption.

Well there you go

I'm just hoping I'll be able to watch it with my mate across the road here in Melbourne. I really don't want to be watching the game at home with no other Dees supporters.

But if I can give my guaranteed ticked to a mate in Perth so they get to go it'll make me that little bit happier about me not being able to

 

Those of us stuck in Victoria need to accept that we won’t be able to attend the GF (should we earn our place).

A vast majority of GF teams supporters don’t get to go, especially interstate teams, so I’m not too upset. Can’t change what you can’t control. If we’re in it, I’ll happily be cheering on watching the TV. I’d happily sacrifice attending a GF, if it meant the Dees got to participate and dare i hope, win a GF.

There’s no “I” in team.

And if anything went wrong with the pilot you’d clearly have the responsibility of landing that big bird

But there is a “me” and me paid for a guaranteed ticket and me wants to go

 

Should we get in

I think WA will open the border to QLD once they go 28 days without community transmission.

I think you’re every chance.

At the moment you can at the very least do 14 days quarantine. VICs won’t even be afforded that luxury unless they have a special reason to enter the state.

Thanks BBP will further check tomorrow !

I have booked a hotel in Perth to quarantine. Not sure of logistics beyond this, but as a MFC/MCC Premium Member I get a guaranteed GF Ticket. I  intend to use it.....  even if I am stuck in a hotel for one week or even two.  Who is joining me?

Victorians are banned from WA.

Unless “me” is in WA, it ain’t gonna happen Wiz. You can thank McGowan, and more broadly COVID for that.

McGowan was just re-elected with a Massive Majority reflecting WA's approval of his approach.

Once vaccination gets to 70% and then 80% McGowan will be faced with some challenging choices.

I am a chance to go if we make it, I will be driving for about 2.5 days, arriving at ground, watching game and driving 2.5 days back, starting the evening after the game.

 

if I am to commit such madness, I will be hoping for some help getting a ticket here.

Why would they do this when they will easily sell out the game without any interstate attendees?

To answer the question in the OP I'm pretty sure Pert already answered this (or a members email) saying the GF guarantee tickets are strictly non-transferable meaning you cannot buy one and pass it on. Of course there are probably ways around this but I assume the main reason is to stop scalping (what's to stop members buying a ticket and then selling it at an exorbitant price and then claiming they gave it to a "friend"?)

The plus side is if you are a member and can attend in WA you should be able to get a ticket as the majority of MFC members would live in Melbourne and so we would be unlikely to fill the quota of MFC member allotments for the GF in Perth.

To be honest I doubt that that will change his mind, fortress WA.

Anyway, if we can't get to the GF in Perth this year, we can watch the next two at the G

As a WA member I'm just hoping I'll get a look in at tickets to the Prelim and beyond!

One would assume afl will want ground filled with  as many club supporters of competing clubs  , mcg normally is 20k per club for normal membership . One would assume wa members of clubs would get an offer before general public . But who knows and good luck 

 

No Victorian resident will be allowed into WA for the GF unless the state's status changes, and that ain't gonna happen 😪.

  • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

  • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
