Get the teams out of Qld, pay it at Metricon or the G or Kardinia.

the players have that many tests I can’t see how it’s an issue really

NSW have done a great job…….

We don't even need to speculate. Look at the UK that has large percentage of their population vaccinated and are seeing a rise in cases. Was always going to happen when you get people mixing again.
What are the chances our state government allows hospitalisations in the thousands?

Negligible. We only have around 2,000-odd ICU beds in the entire country.

Once you account for the usual heart attacks, accidents, strokes, surgical complications and other reasons people end up there, the remainder of those resources will evaporate real quick.

Heaps of time - if they play tomoz arguably better prep than a 4am
Fly in fly out scenario

 

[backtozero]

Just play in Adelaide. Oh wait, Saint Nicolla won't allow it.

 

[JimmyBC]

We need sterile corridor exemptions from hub to hub rings of steel.. am I doing this right?

 

[davesnothere]

Wednesday onwards Adelaide oval would be ok I think?

Reset. Festival of football over the next few weeks. Same format as last time shorter quarters etc. Get the home and away season out of the way asap. Then reset for finals.

 

[raptalia]

They literally can't, they've banned professional sports.

Has anyone posted a reference to that restriction? Not saying it isn't a fact but I did not hear it said at the Press conference and I cannot find it in any of the network updates.

Outside of NSW case number are so low and the testing and controls regime strict enough form the AFL it would be a miracle if an AFL players or associated staff got covid. They should be smart about doing their risk assessments. The people want their footy while they can't do much out of the house.

 

[PAFC66]

Does Christmas Island have an Oval?

No they've thrown asylum seekers on it.

[PAFC66]

Up to 153 infectious in the community if we include the numbers of partially isolating cases
210 cases, 2 more dead, all roads into Sydney CBD closed, Army on the streets and no Premier. Lol

Can we just take the game to the country rural areas to play the footy?

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Every club will get a bye now. We will make up the giants game in what was meant to be the pre finals bye

St Kilda cheering that there Monday will happen a a week early

 

[davesnothere]

NSW teams families?
Where are they at present?
Is this another issue have we stranded them somewhere?
If so if I'm a Swans/GWS player that's getting sorted before I'm going anywhere.

Many thanks for that 66. This bit is ominous...

The AFL and NRL are yet to make an official comment on the situation.

 

[PAFC04]

Why?

Create a hub in the country and not in the cities, we are not playing these games in front of people anyway. Less likely to be get the virus to stop the season.

How much has this cost thus far flying and hotels?

Mini "Las Vegas" in the outback......

 

[Cuzz09]

LoL hilarious.
