You can bet your bottom dollar that there probably have been many other breaches that haven't been caught. These two would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for the brawl 5 metres from the cop station on Orchid Avenue.
Shouldn't be a problem. We went to sleep at 4:40pm.
RIP The Kebabs.
Exactly. It does not matter who instigated the fight or even what time it occurred. The only relevant issue here is that they were out of a strict quarantine hub. Who knows what they could have caught outside the hub and potentially infected everyone in said hub. That's the reason they have these hubs isn't it. Otherwise they'd all be allowed to go to day spas everyday.
At times I think he's frothing at the mouth to be first that he posts like a dyslexic drunk with a broken keyboard.
Perhaps the fine should be taken out of the Total Player Payments and not the livelihood of a staffer/coach.
This. Premiership points is the only deterrent. What do the players care about a fine paid out by the club? 8 premiership points puts the Tigers battling it out for a finals spot and impacts their peers.
Premier will stay silent. They don't want the Grand Final going to Adelaide.
If it was Dusty, Riewolt & Lynch then the strippers would be the ones getting the fine.

Admittedly I don't know how the hubs work but I guess players aren't just allowed to waltz in and out. This strip club is in the heart of Surfers Paradise. Where are the Tigers staying? Presumably they aren't in the heart of Surfers so the players would have had to have taken a taxi/uber. Surely they can't just leave the hub in a taxi. I don't care what the COVID numbers are in QLD. This is a serious breach.
A little bit of escapism from 2020 Demons reality.
Having fought back into finals contention, the Demons had it all before them when facing a lowly Sydney in Cairns. But in typical Melbourne fashion, they threw away the opportunity to cement their spot in the eight with a clanger of a game. Right from the start, there was little to enthuse from the Melbourne players, who appeared to think that they only had to turn up, enjoy the North Queensland sun, and take away the four points. Compared with the furious ground wide pressure of the previous game, this was a return to “bad” Melbourne. Compounding the situation was the poor conversion in front of goals, evident even in the first quarter, and ultimately costing the chance to pinch the game in the final stages. With a wind favouring the end to which the Demons kicked, they simply failed to adapt and utilise the conditions. They conceded two goals to the opposition before they troubled the scorer with a major. Then they watched Sydney take full advantage in the second quarter with five goals straight, while Melbourne failed to score a major — a not unfamiliar story to the supporters of the club. The forwards with the exception of Mitch Brown, probably could have remained on holiday in Alice Springs, such was their lack of presence, effectiveness and desire in this game. Sam Weideman produced a miserable two possessions for the game, and failed to provide contest pressure or second efforts. The addition of Alex Neal-Bullen to the side was another clanger, as no amount of running compensates for football skills when needed. Jack Melksham continues to avoid scrutiny, zero tackles again this game combined with a refusal to contest the ball in the air, only looking for the cheap kick out the back. Worse was the situation down back where the addition of Joel Smith ripped apart a solid defensive structure. His first two “spoils” sent the ball directly to Swans players and resulted in goals. Unable to stay with his opponents for the remaining part of the game, he was finally benched in the final quarter. The frustration of Steven May was evident as holes were left with unguarded players taking easy marks. He was forced to move left, right and further up the ground to cover the clangers of others. In a desperate move to provide some measure of forward target, he was moved in front of goals and took a telling mark and goal, to provide the Demons some hope in the final quarter. Oscar McDonald had been sent there earlier, and it was a sad indictment that they were able to do the job, when the regular forwards hadn’t. The mids were beaten soundly again this week, the third time it has happened in a row. Clearances both in the middle and around the ground were won by the Swans, despite Max Gawn easily winning the ruck contest 37 to 19. Again, the mids produced a solidary goal between them, and questions must be raised about the contested nature of the group, when they don’t produce. To top of the clanger situation was the inept performance in front of goal. Melbourne had at least 5 set shots from inside 30 metres, two from Ed Langdon and Bayley Fritsch and another from Gawn, all of which not only missed, but barely made it through the behinds. Should those easy chances have been converted, the game would have been won. Melbourne have now conceded their spot in the eight and the two teams above them in GWS and St.Kilda have their next games against Hawthorn and Adelaide. The Demons face Fremantle who are in a similar ladder position near the bottom, so we should get a good gauge on which side wants to play in finals in coming week. A similar type of performance to this game, will not only result in a clanger of a season, but without suitable changes, both at selection table and on the ground, will see the bell toll for more than the players.
