The club said "the full playing list" went to Sydney, and is going on to WA.

Oh yes, Lloyd actually mentioned Stewart walking up and down the aisle in the plane
Sorry forgot my minimum positive post quota is low this week. My mistake. Will rectify.
Fort surprisingly has been solid in the past two games. Maybe i was a tad wrong about him.
Playing in the perth hub could actually bring the players together.
Menegola is a decent flanker to have in the team.
It will be good to watch the team play in front of crowds in perth.

so much for all in it together :
Families of Collingwood and Geelong players blocked from entering Perth hub
The families of multiple Geelong and Collingwood players have been blocked from entering the Perth hub as the two teams begin their lockdown.
Club officials were on Saturday night scrambling to secure special exemption, but were all but certain some players’ partners and young children would have to remain in Melbourne.
Those affected include Geelong spearhead Tom Hawkins and superstar Paddy Dangerfield, as well as Collingwood fathers Adam Treloar, Scott Pendlebury, Travis Varcoe, Jack Crisp, Lynden Dunn and Will Hoskin-Elliott.
It means the players and coaches will almost certainly have to complete the two or three-week Perth hub and then contemplate an extension of the road trip in another interstate hub without their families.
The only Collingwood and Geelong players who have so far received special exemption for their families to self-isolate in Perth either have medical reasons or Western Australian family.
Geelong duo Sam Menegola and Rhys Stanley and Collingwood’s Chris Mayne were all granted permission to bring their family members across the Nullabor as they have WA-based family.
Jordan Roughead also received permission for his partner to be part of the Perth hub after a recent health issue.
It means Geelong and Collingwood players could be asked to play more games in Queensland or New South Wales after their Perth hub is complete.
But, unless their families are permitted to join them in the next hub, some players who are fathers may instead elect to return home to see their partners and children in Melbourne.
The Cats landed in Perth yesterday and will stay at Crown Perth, but have to catch a bus to a small area where they can go for a walk outside.
They are otherwise confined to the hotel and their hotel rooms and indoor common areas when they are not either training or playing.
The Perth hub is far more restrictive than the situation facing other teams in Sydney and Gold Coast.
Clubs sent to Queensland have been able to bring their family members and drive around in cars.

WA premier is a flog and not doing the state any favours in respect to hosting a GF. Either they are confident that this hub is secured and no risk to their state or not? If they’re confident having a few family members confined to that hub makes no difference whatsoever! Then to let WA born players have special permission for their families is a further contradiction bordering on discrimination!

Thats a shiity outcome once they arrive there.
I mean I get the goalpost shifts and changing rules and environments... but FFS they knew as of Saturday they were coming - a week ago.
To now change the rules is shitty.
It upsets kids, families and players.
And it sounds like the lockdoen for the players is far more draconian than first presented.
Im not ecxpecting much from us on the back of this news.

So After the Pies, apparently we will play Freo on a Monday.
That'll get the player rotations going.

Guessing the extended break ahead of round 8 is due to the 14 day quarantine requirements that have to be met by Geelong & Collingwood before they're permitted to interact with anyone outside of the Geelong & Collingwood bubbles
The Sunday may have been the earliest that either of the round 8 WA matches could be played, so it's toss of the coin as to whom got Sunday & whom Monday

11 day break that's a slice of good fortune.
