Grand Slam Australian Open - Day 5

[nobbyiscool]

Don’t know what the point of this is to be honest. As if the fans will get within 5kms of home by midnight.

Some will try to stay and watch the screens at Grand Slam Oval.

I doubt they kicked people out and left the screens on and the bars open.

Still... whether you send 5000 people to Richmond Station now or in an hour doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.

They were taking photos of all the crowd leaving, hope you smiled for the camera lol

I left after set 3, knew I had to be home.

 

[2Knights]

So am I. Really intriguing to see what happens

If the ferals aren't home by the stroke of 12 -

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Weren’t you saying before that crowds should be allowed?

If they are going to call out during points I’d rather them not

 

[JamisonRun40]

Sorry I don't find Nic Australian nor can I relate to him. And he doesnt have a coach, I think it is his physio or fitness person who are with him.

Anyway when I see young players like Rublev (who is my fav atm) the Canadians who have a desire to win and even the fringe players it makes me like tennis even more.

Hopefully the AO have some contingency plans and can set up virtual crowds like they do in the NBA.

1000 cardboard cutouts of Chompers, Karl the robot and BASIL ??

Fair enough...

Why? The NBA looks silly doing it lol

 

[Plugger35]

This Fritzl v Joker match now sounds like a practice match on the outer courts.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Fair enough...

Glad to get out at 8am tomorrow morning, be in Sydney by mid morning

I mentioned that as a talking point about the Kyrgios fans before and you insisted that they should still be allowed to go.

I can't believe how quickly the crowd was moved out. That was impressive. Good luck Victoria over the next five days, hang in there.

Doubt it. Supposed to be quiet throughout most of it with tennis.

Welcome to the next 5 days of silence.

This ain’t the WWE

And fake cheering. Call in the AFL.

For the game tonight had no issue but there’s a line. Don’t call out during points

 

[eddiesmith]

Because it’s the rule. Have to be home by midnight

Actually they don't have to be home by midnight, no dumbass curfews this time. If someone lives within 5km of the stadium there is no reason they can't stay!

 

[Plugger35]

Why? The NBA looks silly doing it lol

It actually works well, gives the games atmosphere and covers the empty stands.

Better than watching a game in an empty stadium.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Least he seems a fraction more free he’s hit a few forehand’s

 

[Bungeye]

Australia has become a laughing stock on social media

Atmosphere lol I watch the NBA as I bet on it but pull the other one.

I think Andrews cleared this up before.

There are only 4 reasons you can leave your home. Entertainment is not one of them. So even if you are within 5km of the stadium, you cannot be there.

Victoria has the best Premier in Australia though. He is keeping us all safe.

Give me our one thanks. No lockdowns that aren’t completely necessary.
