NO CROWDS.

What a shitting shitter.

Really??

 

[The 747]

Well that sucks for WA fans and the viewers.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

Not surprised honestly

 

[Electronic_Renaissance]

Really??

Yep, what timing. Why bother trying to do anything in this state at the moment?

McGowen has credits in the bank but they are fast running out.

Where's it being reported?

 

[Wosh]

Really??

 

[Bush_Chook]

Big out for the eagles, how can we expect them to boo at home with every umpire decision?!

I kid,I kid,suckish decision for all fans but a necessary one

 

[Plugger35]

It's going to be weird watching a Derby with no crowds, it will seem more like a pre-season game with the lack of atmosphere there.

 

[Farang83150]

Freo won't notice the difference crowd wise!!..(jokes)

 

[W.C. Fry]

As soon as he said they were Ubereats drivers I knew it would be shut down.

Sucks, 2nd year in a row no home derby. Freo v Lions next week probably locked out also one would think.

It is impressive how each State government and our Federal government fail to learn from each other's mistakes.

 

[MadMundy]

I'm happy about it. Would have preferred going into lockdown though.

I'm guessing it was actually the cooking class that broke the camel's back.
Either way, this was always going to iffy due to the timing so I was mentally prepared.

Freo next week should be more cut & dried as the contact tracing & test results come back during the week. I think it's a good chance to be at least a 50% crowd for that one if there are no more positives.

How's that? Hotel security guards can't have housemates either now?

Business as usual for Freo then?

 

[Asapartyhat]

Sucks because it's an Eagles home game and I can't go now .But crowded public transport to and from ,busy bars etc it is the right thing to do and its the way it goes in this sad and tragic world we live in at this time.

Us Eagles supporters having a bit of bad luck atm.I will go get some crafty beer sit in front of the tv and fall asleep before the game starts Freomaniac style.

 

[dean33]

Shame no crowd, always a great atmosphere these games but no crowd makes it hard to watch.

 

[CakeEater]

I like Margetts in for the Eagles.

He tends to make good decisions under pressure for the Eags.

Hopefully he doesn’t give you another dodgy free on the final siren to get you guys over the line

 

[JHF1870]

There was a post from the stadium stating no fans in attendance

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

NO BOOING SUPPORTERS, NO WEST COAST !!
Seriously, really disappointing news about no crowd.

 

[Quokka]

that's a potato list in comparison

Yeah but replace the roast spuds with boiled cabbages and your dinner is still the sh***er for it.

 

[coastalpipeline]

Having 45,000 people in the one location and all of a crush of getting into the stadium, we judged was too high a risk," McGowan said.

Sorry Eagles & Dockers fans but this is absolute bullshit!

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Jon Ralph just said having no crowd for the Derby will cost WCE 1 Million Dollars

 

[Sully90]

What? A few guys who have barely played in two years and your 5th best mid vs 4 All Australians, our captain and our full back. We might as well list Rioli, Hutchings, Venables, Cameron etc too. You’re having a laugh. Ryan I’ll give you but apart from that you’ve got your best 22 out there today.

You have one reigning all-australian out. The others haven't been at that level for a number of years.

Overall in terms of importance to their respective b22s, the injury lists are pretty even.
