Safe to say GWS v West Coast, if it goes ahead, will most likely be played at Blacktown or Giants Stadium.

Now, there is a precedent. The Attorney General has been granted an exemption in Canberra because he tested negative and didn't visit any of the problematic locations in Perth. He is classed as an essential service, however!
I reckon the Crows should apply for exemptions on similar grounds to above. In reality, they are more of an essential service than the AG attending some irrelevant ceremony.

Agreed - the girls flew in Saturday morning, and probably didn't leave the team hotel in that time. They also returned home before the border shut.
They should be at least allowed to train as normal, as that poses no risk to the community

It's a bit rough that SA requires the Crows to isolate for two weeks, while NSW only asks 5 days for GWS. SA going well over the top again! This has to be changed: the AFL shouldn't allow this. However, in the meantime the AFC itself should go hard for an exemption: there is too much kow-towing going on for my liking.

They did a rehab session in the morning at the beach in Perth before they flew home didn't they?

Don’t know why Adelaide and GWS couldn’t have just played each other this weekend.
Only reason they wouldn’t schedule Freo and West Coast against each other this weekend is because they probably still want to get a decent crowd in at Optus for financial reasons.

Probably can't anyway as all the players in SA have to be in self quarantine for two weeks, that doesn't allow for a game on Sat.
Going to have to hope the SA government relents or our season is now over pretty much. Going to miss two games, no idea how you make them up in such a short season and the players wont have done anything for 14 days.
AFL dont want other season without a premier and so they will just push on and sadly we are just going to get sacrificed so it can happen.

Didn’t WA allow Collingwood and Geelong to play each other while they were in isolation together when they arrived in WA during the AFL season, wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary
But both teams were already in a bubble as such, all in a hotel quarantine as teams. Clearly that is not the case here. And the AFL clearly are not going to spend the money to do that for the girls.

Element of truth there, also thinking the Crows and GWS would’ve probably had more leeway if they flew in, flew out and didn’t stay in a Perth Hotel over the weekend, with the 10 months of no community cases in WA the Crows took the risk to stay the extra day and go to the beach for recovery, as in hindsight they really should’ve flown out straight after the game like it had been the case with AFL teams playing interstate last year.
Again they didnt have a choice it was a chartered afl flight so both team could come back to adelaide together. Nothing to do with the Crows.

Well that’s even worse if it was done by the AFL that way, just another oversight when it comes to this competition, it really was a stupid exercise all round sending them to WA with all the border issues originally plus I still don’t understand why WA doesn’t have a ground that can hold games under lights rather than play in 35+ degree heat in the January/Early February WA afternoon sun.

I think the lights at Mineral Resources Park are suitable for night game. West Coast played a night pre-season game there last night, and I believe Perth played a number of home games there under lights in the WAFL last season
Not in this moronic world we live. Them girls running around together in a park is so dangerous. Maybe if everybody else were kept away...err..derrr.. they will be kept away..see it's all soooooo Moronic.. better they sort out their weak Q hotel problems

We have a match! We're playing GWS on Sunday at 4:40pm Adelaide time
R2 update: Three new clashes, WA teams in limbo (womens.afl)
Unfortunately it's away, and it's closed to the public, but it's something at least.

What possible reason is there to have it closed to the public?

Common sense prevailed in the end, there was no reason they shouldn’t have been playing GWS in Sydney once the NSW Government’s 5 days of isolation rules were put in place and the AFL got off their arse and sorted out logistics
So only Forth and Gould available to come in to the side if they make a change as they were emergencies last week with Phil confirming the rest of last week’s non-playing list stayed separate. Extra ruck in Gould to ruck with Metcalfe against the extra height of Erin McKinnon from GWS might be one they look at.

Hard border down?
Does that mean West Coat and Fremantle can travel here without quarantine now?
