How can the AFL possibly justify having Adelaide play West Coast in Brisbane in Round 6, when there are no restrictions to be able to fly back to Adelaide from QLD?

 

[glengowan]

Why are the Crows and Power even still in the QLD hub? So much for fluidity.

And in Round 7 both sides go to Melbourne then back to Adelaide.

I didn’t think that had been released yet? Surely not though?!

Because they can?

Eagles' next opponent revealed

Round six of the AFL season will see West Coast face off against another 'hub' club.

Interesting article on the WCE site...What a shitshow to adapt to this year is for some clubs

Hub diary: Power, Crows, Eagles ... are we really on the Goldy?

That is what Travis Auld was saying on 360 last night. I thought it might have been better for both to go to Sydney - Port play Sydney whilst Adelaide plays GWS then back to Adelaide.

Get ****ed!! Why are we not playing games in SA? What is blocking this?

 

[Thetrader15]

Get f’ed!! Why are we not playing games in SA? What is blocking this?

If we head to Melbourne, let's hope the SA Departmnet of Health makes us quarantine for 14d when we get back, including no games.

That will show the AFL what dropkicks they are, and will also reduce the chance for the rest of the state of catching the disease off those Melbournians

Good to see they are only 15 hours behind. Well done 5AA.

 

[Big Gazoongas]

Get f’ed!! Why are we not playing games in SA? What is blocking this?

Well if vic teams head to SA the SA Govt will require them to rightly be quarantined. I actually don't want them here, SA is in a good spot we dont need vic potentially spreading the virus to support their egos.

This season is a farce anyway.

Keep SA clean.

 

[jackster83]

Confirmed we are playing North Melbourne in Covidistan in round 7.

The actual * are our admin doing not jumping up and down about this? We should be playing them at AO in front of 25,000 supporters.

 

[brucetiki]

If we have to play North away, I'd rather play them in Hobart. At least that way there's less risk to the side.

This is just madness from the AFL is sending both Port and us to Melbourne to play after spending 4 weeks on the Gold Coast. Also, as we're playing in Melbourne, does this mean we'll need to get an exemption from SA Health to not have to quarrantine upon our return.

I would imagine so. And I'd hope the request for an exemption would be swiftly denied.

If we have to play in Melbourne then we can't play anyone for a minimum of 2 weeks afterwards.

 

[conVINCEd]

We should be returning home just like the Eagles and Freo.

Yet another example of being walked over by the AFL with our club leaders failing - can anyone explain how it isn’t?

 

[crows dude]

We are back at Adelaide Oval

Fixture update: Crows return to Adelaide Oval

The news we've all been waiting for

[Scorpus]

Really strange turn of events. No SA hub but we can play St Kilda at Adelaide Oval?

Also we are flying back to Adelaide after the Fremantle game, then flying back in for West Coast at the Gabba

 

[spexau]

I think the timing works out that they are out of Vic for 2 weeks before coming in to SA?

 

[crows dude]

Then back to the Gold Coast Hubs for 12 teams and the others in Sydney

Fixture rewrite: Vic clubs forced north for R6-7, return date unknown

Melbourne's footy stadiums will be vacant as teams head north for rounds six and seven

Yeah it sounds like we might be flying into the hubs, and teams flying to us in Adelaide, for the next few rounds.

So we can't host Vic teams directly but we can host Vic teams based in a hub after 2 weeks

 

[Jack is Back]

I considered St Kilda could be a danger game. It’s a tough break that we will play them in Adelaide but at least their confidence will be high.

#pick One

Correct. We can effectively FIFO our matches for the rest of the season after this weekend, as can Port.

It'll be interesting to see if FIFO or a hub will be a better routine.

Call off the season, Gil.
