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.

    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

    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 😪.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
