Fixture Queen's Birthday Game: The Big Freeze

[Leeda]

Wow.

If that doesn't capture the South Australian vibe in a post I don't know what does.

No one gets a SA...sack

How many would Adelaide v Fremantle get as a stand alone fixture at the MCG? This is basically the equivalent.

It was the following sentence that really captured the vibe.

 

[Olian]

Sydney as our COVID rules are non existent as we aren’t required to duck for cover if the ball comes near us.

 

[FS25]

Nobody in Adelaide would care. The Neale Daniiher factor might convince some, but outside of that, there wouldn't be much interest in Melbourne v Collingwood. Adelaide isn't like Perth, we already have old buildings here and don't have a desperate need to want to be like Melbourne. Play it in Sydney. People in Sydney already think Eddie is a fat clown, they could promote it like a circus.

Perth has noticeably less old buildings does it? Genuinely curious. I thought it wasn't established too long after

I get the feeling SA won't be too keen to grant any more exemptions after the blowback from the last 2 days so I imagine this is either going to Sydney, or they'll try and postpone it to Round 14 and hope for either some crowds in Melbourne or borders easing so they can get into SA easily.

Move it to WA and declare a public holiday to accommodate it.

Don't worry about the old nuffies that bitch and moan. Send to SA, we will even offer to throw Kane Cornes down the slide. No charge for that one.

That’s correct.

 

[Jibroni]

Glad its in Sydney and not Adelaide, our media would not care for the game unless the Crows were involved.

And with the Daniher family being from NSW will hopefully create more interest.

because they obviously couldn’t find a bunch of people willing to slide into ice for a good cause outside their plague infested borders.

What a f***ng joke. this is the sort of event that NEEDS a cheering crowd. but noooo, the Vics just can’t let it go.

AFL has officially confirmed the SCG will host the game.

What Ch 7 affiliated Sydney based media personalities would be willing to go down the slide though?

does it need to be channel 7?

we have lots of AFL people, lots of other sports people, other tv celebrities, some movie actors, you could even scrape the barrel and throw a politician down the slide. Lots of options of people not from victoria.

btw. Sunrise with Kochie is filmed in Martin Place, so he’d be around. that’s a channel 7 & AFL personality - double whammy.

What is the point? Just play it at the MCG FFS

It would be in front of zero crowd. They might as well give the NSW based Demons and Pies fans a chance to go to the game.

 

[Inspector Malceski]

So game in Sydney but sliders at the MCG!

Whats the point; no one in Sydney will care now. I will go if sliders are in Sydney but they are not, so I'll pass

Who cares they'll get 5k to the game. Better for the players to stay in Vic and play at the G.

 

[Whiskers]

Can’t the SCG just be on standby?
Our lockdown ‘hopefully’ ends next Friday so can someone explain the actual issue?
Is it precautionary? Why can’t there be a crowd once we reopen again? The sliders are clearly allowed to travel to the MCG, so why can’t fans?
Having no sliders in Sydney is just a waste, why can’t they travel?

 

[parano1a]

The sliders are clearly allowed to travel to the MCG, so why can’t fans?

Television production is exempt from the restrictions so the sliders would likely fall under this category, whilst the crowd would not.

The lockdown will end but Melbourne wilk remain in tight restrictions, they wont allow crowds.
