Hats off to Kate Roffey. Kate will not be going to Perth due to the limited number of MFC people allowed into WA. I am sure Kate could have found a way to be included in the party of 55 but she put others ahead of herself. A real leader.....

    Is the 55 inclusive of players and coaching staff? If so then, i dont think she really had much of a say as they would have absolutely had to have priority.

    Can the club out source people from  WA if we are short staffed eg. Trainers/masseuses?

    If needed, I would be surprised if Freo and Eagles staff don't offer to help.

    When the northern states had to leave their state this year various clubs lent them equipment,  physios etc.

    Hats off to Kate and an absolute shambles that only 55 can attend.

    No doubt blokes like Eddie McGuire, Tom Browne and Damien Barrett (who's already quarantining) will somehow find their way over there.

    It’s one gesture, but it speaks volumes about her character. And that’s a reflection of the culture of our club. I feel sorry for supporters of other clubs who aren’t in a position to be proud of their club’s admin. as we are. (I don’t really feel sorry for them. 😏)

    maybe she can make it for perth?

    I assume our ex president will be there, as he lives in Perth?

    I also heard it was 75 to WA and 55 to SA, hence why half the squad flew directly to Perth instead of jumping off in SA.

    Still, 75 is not a lot when you take your whole list, plus coaches, plus medical staff, plus media team. It leaves very little room for anyone else. I wonder if Pert went. I assume he has.

    I'd be flabbergasted if Pert didn't make the cut.

    Having said that he's not the one kicking the footy or moving the magnets, so you can never be too sure.

    If the president of Melbourne didn't make the cut, there's absolutely no way that any other MFC member from Victoria will be able to get an exemption to isolate for 14 days.

    It is impossible to get an exemption.

    She inherited an extraordinary position. Outside of her connections with the Dan Andrew's Government at a time we are pleading for a club centre, she offers nothing. No loss.

    I'm genuinely asking how you come to that conclusion? No agenda, just curious.

    That’s a different commentary  to what is being said here GNF. you’ve normally got great mail.

    Kate sacrifices her chance to be at the GF even though her team is still in the running. 
    On the other end of the scale Eddie McGuire has been knocked back by WA in his application for a permit. He plans to re-apply since he doesn’t accept the refusal. He was refused a permit because he was, in his capacity as a broadcaster, deemed non-essential. 
    But what riles me the most is that his application included his two sons whom he listed as “producers.” Give me strength. 🙄

    McGuire received a personal rejection from the WA Chief of Police. 😂

    I thought you would have stopped after your trading debacles over the years, but lols... I hope you enjoy attending the game.

    Can someone tell me why Tom Browne's getting an exemption.

    Does channel 7 Perth not have a sports reporter that Melbourne's channel 7 news can correspond with?

    I was thinking about this, I know he probably wouldn't be up for it, but any member of the previous successful era, starting with RDB31 should be given a ticket and some grace to be there. I would dearly love to see Ron hand over the Cup to Max.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
