Ah yes, the mythical health advice that the directions are made from, the advice that no one has seen over the whole pandemic..Spot on.
We (I live in these days) in Melbourne know right this second we're still in lockdown, we have rules stopping us from doing a lot of things. My family are in Geelong, they have far less restrictions right now. Come Thursday midnight Melbourne was supposed to "catch up" to regional. Today is Monday night. All this proves is that not only will lockdown continue past Thursday night for Melbourne, but clearly also additional rules for regional areas like Geelong.
Evidence one asks...well, this decision the AFL has had to make days early based on current so called advice.
This state will take over a decade or more to try find its feet after all this. Regional areas just had a terrible weekend thanks to extended lockdown (so much for circuit breaker) and now our club will also suffer, and likewise the Bulldogs.
Members can't blame the club, but have a right to be pi$$ed off.
This isn’t a COVID or political forum....
Signed guerneys were only going to certain categories of membersJust spoke with the club, emails to reserved seat members should go out this week for collection of signed jumpers. I can only assume non-seat members would then follow.
Apparently they were all set to go the week lockdown set in, so they had to hold off sending off the email.
Also
Clubs would have the names and addresses of members, so would have to match that criteria to be considered -probably also be ID checks at the gate
Hopefully we can know by tonight in case tickets need to be retrieved like earlier in the year.Waiting to find out
Or you're so chuffed with the fantastic journey the club has taken us on over a decade or more you show your 'thanks' by sticking with it during tough economic times for it.So what kind of compensation can I expect now that my membership has decreased in value by a game, an equivalent refund, a voucher or the more likely option that club simply ignores its members and does nothing.
They're probably also working with the Bulldogs to see how many of their members fit the criteria because the 7000 tickets is meant to cover their members who live in the eligible areas alsoI think no matter what the club chooses to do they'll get criticised, despite they're also the victims here. On the news tonight Cook stated some fans are better than none, but the club will lose around $800,000 thanks to this restriction. This doesn't include the money a home game also brings to Geelong businesses pre and post-game.
The "fairest" thing they can arguably do is cut up the 7000 into pieces, and say "right seated members, you've got access to 3000, regular members 2500, general supporters, 1500". Here are the staggered "on sale" times. etc etc
If they're clever they need to work through the night, email & text members, and do it tomorrow and or Friday morning at the very latest.
Either way you look at it, it's a sh*tshow courtesy of bureaucrats that can't make pragmatic decisions with the information at hand. So much for a circuit breaker.

admission should be based on how many beers and pies you pledge to buy.....
I went to the Gold Coast game and was furious to yet again find the food and bar section behind our seats (top level of players stand adjacent to premiership stand) to closed the entire game.
This is not a "covid" thing as this has been happening well before the pandemic. Stand was full, and whenever they ARE open the lines are long, so it's not like they don't make money. I would love to meet the people who get to make that decision.
