News Time for the Vic teams to leave Victoria - EDIT: Hawks to Hub in Barossa, 15 teams in QLD

[FreeTK]

That's all pretty convenient seeing this outbreak has come after the exact incubation period from the protests. Either way it is a travesty to have allowed the protests to go ahead.

But I bet you were gearing up to go to the footy, but that's a different story....

 

[Run n Spread]

At worst, it'll be another year of hubs IMO. After that, either vaccines will be out, or we'll accept that we'll have to live with the virus as it is. I can't see interstate travel for pleasure being effectively banned into 2022.

I'd just do that now tbh.

AFL fixture boss Travis Auld told ABC Grandstand the league has guaranteed Victorian clubs they'll return home after round nine regardless of whether border restrictions have eased.

"I think you'd look at a bye or a split round of some sort to find your way through that," he said.

Then that will be end of season. End of story

So the incubation is four weeks or more? not even that is correct. And do the BLM people come form the housing commission towers and vice versa?.

It really is long bow and surprised its still being quoted

From midnight tomorrow, only South Australians returning from Victoria will be allowed back into the state.
Victorians will not be allowed to enter SA, regardless of if they have undergone a 14-day quarantine period.

Does this also apply for Victorians who skipped town into other states ( afl teams ) or just the currently held hostage ones.

3 or 4 cases came from protesters (of which they suspect they had it before the protest anyway). It's a massive stretch to link this current outbreak of thousands of active cases to BLM.

Perhaps it is linked to the loosening of restrictions which occurred a couple of weeks ago? Nah, that cannot be it.

If they spend more than 14 days in a COVID free state they will probably be able to enter SA without quarantine after July 20. I’m not certain about that but that’s my reading of the situation

Confusing if its a new rule. Reinforces why AFL chose Qld and NSW, they could operate totally from there.

Sounds unenforcable too. Crows and power have significant numbers of Vic origin players

And Melbourne is now back in lockdown

 

[Hamez]

6 week lockdown for metro Melbourne

 

[Sterge]

This campaigner making exceptions again, just do it properly or stand down and get someone who will

 

[Black white]

Why would anyone want to go to South Australia?

This!

It’s not hard Dan just do it right and do it properly

Have you been there? Beautiful getaways there. Go to the Barossa most years

 

[Black white]

This will kill so many businesses.

 

[banzai]

I think there will be a break in the season, and then the VIC clubs will go back to QLD to finish the season in a short amount of time. They will possibly have to move every team to one location and maybe play the last 7 rounds in 5 weeks or so.

 

[GCS in 11]

So the Vic teams can’t return for 6 weeks basically. That’s 6 rounds of football away (which is what Port/Adel has done). Will any team refuse to stay?

Are you as thick as our premier?

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Unfortunately yes that will happen

 

[Balls In]

I don't get all this defense of the BLM protests. Bottom line is they shouldn't have gone ahead, the medical community warned against them and now there's a major outbreak in Victoria. There's no justification for them and should never have gone ahead.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

I love going to SA. Underrated part of Australia.

 

[iameviljez]

I'd just do that now tbh.

That'd kill a pretty large number of people, though. If we manage to get a vaccine in the next 12 months, that's a lot of death that didn't need to happen.

So much for being agile! Oh, but that was different when it wasn't Vic teams who were going away

 

[iameviljez]

Of course it will be banned. All the pubs and restaurants that have reopened in WA, NT, QLD will have to shut again or operate with heavy restrictions if they let it go open slather with travel.

If we go long enough, we'll have COVID outbreaks in most capital cities across Australia. At some point, if there is no vaccine, we'll have to make the call to resume normal life again.

 

[Thetrader15]

They travel well. also Hawks and North have experience of Tassie, where they sometimes camp for a few days. Port go to China. Gold coast spent half a season travelling 2 years ago

Could it be some of these clubs will flourish?

I can't see Carlton winning another game then...until they play the Crows that is
