"Not yet"
I appreciate your acceptance of the inevitable.

BBQ is back on!!!!

But I've already microwaved my membership.
Can I still come?

 

[Mr Bultitude]

Playing Freo in Rd 1 means no WA hub for us...cop that Weagles.

EDIT: Although I feel for WA Bomber fans who would actually be able to go see us play.

 

[citizen-erased]

surely we stay in a Vic hub now. Who would let us into their state

Worsfold:

“We get the opportunity to change the groups after we get the results of each test back and those groups have changed multiple times over the last five or six weeks and they’ll continue to change,” he said.

“It really comes around where the maximum benefit in terms of benefiting the team is while taking into account the possible risks.

“The groups are changing constantly so the groups well put together for today and tomorrow’s session may change for Friday’s session.

“There’s going to be a risk in whatever way it happens. Ultimately the best way to avoid that is to not mix the groups around to where you think you can take more risks.

“You’ve got to make sure that if you get a positive result anywhere along the lines, you’ve taken all the precautions that the spread of (the virus) will be minimised.”

I suppose that since we have already played Freo we will not be one of the teams hubbing in WA.

You reckon there'd be any states keen to let us in at the moment?

Hoping that they come up to sunny Qld.

Happy with that. Hopefully we can atone for that disaster class we dished up last year

I'm still trying to forget that disaster to be honest. With Dunkley out, that helps a bit, as from memory he murdered us last time.

Haven't beaten them since 2014.

There is some chance we could be part of a rolling hub with Melbourne in Perth where we could play the Melbourne game and Fremantle - Or possibly we could play Melbourne in the NT.

These hubs in WA or whatever are errant nonsense - We have an AFL industry working in a confined bubble with twice weekly COVID 19 tests, so in effect a secure environment - Yet they can't fly in and fly out for games where they have no contact with the public, YET soon WA will allow 60,000 into a stadium.

Just tribal point scoring from McGowan really; ‘dem dirty Vics! Stick it to the VFL!

AFL players doing FIFO Airport to Crown - Optus - Airport would have to be one of the lowest risk groups possible.

Heavily tested, little to no contact with anyone outside of the Crown / Optus bubble, no contact with the public.

We've played Freo already.

We've played Freo already.

I understand we have played Fremantle But at some stage we have to play Melbourne - So it could be that game is in Perth as part of a rolling hub.

No it can’t, it will only be clubs that can play both WA clubs plus the Melb club. He may go to hub in another state.

It is a still a possibility because you can have more than 2 teams in the hub - NT could be a possibility seeing that Melbourne has an annual game.

Media coverage of anything is so polluted I now demand laughs with my scepticism. Right or wrong give me someone like Jimmy Dore any day over anything coming out of mainstream media. His recent YouTube "Dr Fauci Lied about facemasks' at least brightened my day a bit.

 

[boncer34]

Here we go again.

 

[pepsi]

What are we hearing? Lockdown by this weekend you'd think.

 

[ant555]

****ed my week. No chance of camping at Winton for the Supercars and catching up with some family I have not seen since 2019

 

[Zach Package]

Confirmed positive case attended the pies game on the weekend

[Dave]

Supposed to be flying to Brisvegas tomorrow for a crossfit comp (not to compete!). Think that's buggered by the sounds of things.

Am very prepped for this to be at least a couple of weeks.
