News No More Games In Victoria (GF TO BE IN QLD)

[69vintage]

Wasn't the talk last night about having all 10 Vic teams in Qld? Could use Southport Sharks Oval at a pinch. Probably the only other Oval I can think of aside from Gabba and Metricon, so WA offers many more Ovals of suitable quality I would have thought. Talk of taking games to the NT as well. Gill and co earning their keep well and truly atm.

There will be games in Qld ,Wa ,SA ,Tassie ,NT and maybe NSW will get lucky .

Yes the only certainty at the moment is constant change! What's said last night becomes something completely different today - being capable of just going with the flow (which incidentally is a lot harder than most people think) will have massive benefits for the players and clubs best able to utilise those skills.

Every car except QLD number plates is being spoken to by police but that's slowing up the whole process.

Plus from what I hear the police are not being given any extra resources to counter the additional work load so that's not helping either.

My favourite quote by The Prince!
It should be borne in mind that there is nothing more difficult to arrange, more doubtful of success, and more dangerous to carry through than initiating changes. The innovator makes enemies of all those who prospered under the old order, and only lukewarm support is forthcoming from those who would prosper under the new. Their support is lukewarm ... partly because men are generally incredulous, never really trusting new things unless they have tested them by experience.

NSW is the interesting one. They appear to be throwing caution to the wind and perhaps doing a little bit of Sweden.......

And so they should, sly cunning little suckers they are

On the contrary. As soon as there was a spike in COVID cases, authorities tracked the cause ~ the carrier. And there has been talk of tightening of numbers of people at pubs etc

Didn't say exactly 'Sweden', just a little bit - so they still have people in close proximity, pubs open, people are still free to move and congregate, just in smaller numbers (heard that was mainly to try and make the contact tracer's job easier).

I have a preference for that too - but it's not about me. Whatever works best for the team and the comp! Be a logistic nightmare - I'll keep digging my ditches

Only certain parts of Sydney are a problem, and Qld Govt is banning anyone from these postcodes from entering Qld. If anything the Giants game would be rescheduled to a safe place in Sydney. Next choice, move it to Qld.
