Yes.

We've followed regional VIC in pretty much every step out of lock down 4. Therefore, I can't see how they'll allow anything more than 20% this weekend which was what they had for Geelong V Dogs last Friday night. Next week V GWS, I'm sure they'll allow 50% if we continue this positive trend of 0 cases or 1 linked case a day.

Therein lies the problem. I think it is for some.

No, but I reckon they'll give the majority of members tickets to the home team.

The journo's have gone with 15-30% since yesterday for both venues. Hopefully it will be 50% for our GWS game the following week, although we could probably accommodate everyone at 25% if we're being honest for that fixture.

I'd be amazed if Dees V Dogs isn't on Friday night, and I reckon you could pretty much put that in the diary with certainty...unless we fall off the cliff over the next month.

Thankfully Brian Taylor isn't on the Saturday night roster for Ch 7. Whilst we've had our fair share or FTA games lately, we've also had more than enough of BT.

Would that be Drake? They were on board in the 1980's through to 1991. 1992- Snowy mountain spring Water 1993 - Pioneer Homes 1994 to 1997 - Tooheys 1998 to 2003 - LG 2004 to 2008 - Primus 2009 to 2011 - Kaspersky and Hankook 2012 to 2013 - Opel & Webjet 2014 - 2017 - AHG 2018 to 2023 - Zurich We got a good run out of LG in the late 90's/early 2000's.

Absolute guess here but if it's 30,000 maximum (30%), the allocation could be spread as follows: 6,000 MCC members 4,500 AFL members (Ess and Melb support packages with priority) 18,000 Essendon members 1,500 MFC members. A lot of your rank and file MFC supporters will need to wait until the GWS game next week.

It was a very poor win off memory. The Dons were horribly out of form and we had finals on the line. We cruised to a 34 point lead in the 3rd quarter only to somehow find ourselves only 7 points down in the last quarter, in shortened quarters.

30% crowds next week is the latest goss according to Jon Ralph.

Sounds like it’s not a question of whether crowds will be allowed in Melbourne next weekend, but a question of how many? Really hoping it’s 50%.

I could probably think of one club that would be capable of pulling off that disaster.

As unfavourable a result as it was (and it’s only June) if Geelong and Dogs finish 1st and second, I’m more than happy to finish 3rd or 4th and play either of these mobs at the G. We just need the Lions and West Coast to stay out of the top 2.

Credit to Goodwin. He wouldn’t be carrying on like a pig chop and banging windows in the coaches box. Control your emotions a bit, Scott.

Yeah he’s a dud off the field if the reports are accurate.

Shades of our 2018 game down in Geelong when we couldn’t hold on in the dying seconds. Anyone who continues to bag Gary Rohan has no idea. He’s a far better player than given credit for.

Full credit to the Dogs. Won’t go away. Back in front. 4 mins left

Does a draw help us?

I’m currently writing a book on BT’s gaffes on Friday night footy. Tonight’s entry - “7,000 packed into the ground tonight” WTF is this man doing calling the premier game of the weekend?

I wouldnt get your hopes up. Geelong bat at about 90% down there. (Strangely Carlton beat them there last year)

So the VIC government are paranoid about having crowds at games. And when they finally do allow crowds they put 3,500 people on each wing with absolutely no social distancing. Makes perfect sense.

Absolutely agree. It's totally irrelevant having separation from 1st to second but hugely important to have separation from third. Tipping 3 boil-overs this week in Dogs to beat Geelong, Carlton to beat GWS and Hawthorn to beat Essendon.

The ins and outs are very easy. Viney for Sparrow (Melksham for Sparrow if Viney not ready yet.) One of the Browns for Mr 4 handballs.
