Jaded No More

Yep I got mine. Was in at 12:00:01. Got 2 tickets in M35. There seem to only be 2 bays allocated to Melbourne members which is M34 and M35. I'll take what I can get at this stage. Super happy we got tickets!

In a prelim final to play an enforcer role and smack around anyone who tries to hurt our star players. Gets us into a grand final, gets suspended for 10 games, goes out a hero!

I suppose that is true, but there is no need to give us a 5 day break, so why do it? Plenty of ordinary games next weekend to schedule on a Sunday. Plus with bigger capacity planned at the MCG next week, financially a Saturday afternoon would be a lot better for us than Sunday.

Waiting patiently for 12pm.... I hope they left at least a few tickets for us home and away Melbourne members with reserved MCG seating. I only need 2 tickets this week, so fingers crossed I can get something.

I’m going to assume we play the early Saturday slot vs GWS. Our game against Port the following week will be prime time either Friday or Saturday. So can’t play Sunday.

Yep Scott will complain that people are booing Selwood, that they have to play away from Geelong and that quarters are just too long to get the best out of a team of players eligible for the AZ.

Yep restrictions ease midnight tonight. Should be allowed a crowd. Not sure of capacity. Probably 26.5% if you’re standing upside down with 3 masks on.

God it’s a pleasure to watch Geelong lose. I hate them. Our [censored] percentage is going to haunt us. Time to start smashing some teams.

A nice Covid outbreak in Geelong only prior to round 23 would be handy ?

Ugh I can't support Geelong. And I really like the Lions. Would be great for Dogs to lose as well. Gives us some breathing room.

To be fair we have only lost to bad teams this year. This is a danger game! (Hello to anyone from Bomberblitz reading this, I hate your club!)

Well it would be nice to know when we play next weekend, given we can actually attend. Really annoying they won't even give us 2 weeks notice, when you are trying to plan other things around the game.

I wish. I'm too young. No Pfizer for me.

I haven't received an email and I am a home & away member?

I have a feeling they drop Weideman and we play with Tmac and Fritsch as the main forwards. BB will be made to prove his fitness at Casey I suspect.

Surely now we know the capacity they can at least release next week's fixture? You would assume the SCG game will not go ahead at the SCG. But other than that, it's straight forward. GWS is already hubbing in Melbourne, they can stay an extra week for our game. Problem solved.

The issue isn't the 'roadmap', the issue is that we are going from 25,000 to 85,000 in a week. Who is the genius that decided this weekend 25,000 is safe, but next weekend 85,000 will be fine. It just doesn't make sense. They should have said 50% capacity for the next 2 weeks and then we assess. 25,000 is not enough for most games, and 85,000 is basically too much for 99% of games. Again these 'health experts' make decisions based on nothing.

10am FRIDAY?! Why so late? Why can't tickets go on sale tomorrow for gods sake? Will there even be any tickets left by the time MCC and AFL reserve get theirs?

So this week its 50% at venues but up to 25,000 only. Next week we return to 85% capacity. FOR GOODNESS SAKE WHAT SENSE DOES THIS MAKE? What makes it safer next week?

Which makes no sense. Marvel isn't even really an 'outdoor' venue if the roof is closed.

I assume the announcement will come at today's press conference. 0 cases and strong testing numbers today. If they allow the same number of spectators at Marvel as they do the MCG, you just know they have no common sense.

Total trash. Another weekend down the drain of seeing my team play. Living in this state is getting really tiresome.

100% correct. Just as funerals can't be postponed, weddings can't be changed at the drop of a hat. For most people weddings are planned a year or more in advance. To make an announcement on a Wednesday is literally no help to couples due to get married 3 or 4 days later. It takes a lot longer than that for venues, vendors and guests to be organised. And lets not mention the fact that we as Victorians can go to New Zealand tomorrow, but Queensland won't let me in. What a total joke. A bunch of nervous nellies. I bet NSW doesn't go into lockdown and still manage to run their latest outbreak to ground without total panic, because their government is not run by a bunch of bed wetting losers.

Oh FFS as if anything will change tomorrow. Just make a call. Such gutless leadership! I feel so sorry for people trying to get married. Fancy being at the mercy of an [censored] who thinks it's 'easy to push out a wedding', but allows 300 people to go to a religious ceremony!
