More than 2 for sure...and it's really just one club who are in Perth!
The risks of a a group of 25 players plus staff transiting through airports, buses, being put up in hotels that all of a sudden are flooded with members of the public (EG Richmonds stay in Adelaide hotel), playing and then transiting back.
All without serving any quarantine. Just taking extra precautions......which were found to fail at various stages.
How many players were done for covid breaches? How many didn't? You keep on with a FIFO schedule eventually something goes wrong.
The WA guidelines were tougher for sure. But they had less room for error. And they were proved to be workable...........certainly not unworkable nor impossible.

That’d be right. You can sit in lockdown by yourselves just don’t train in groups of ten if we can’t!

That’s a good point. I guess that’s one of the things about being autonomous. There’s pros and cons to everything.

Not many Melbourne clubs wanted to hub at all until Covid forced them out

You can also not lockdown states over 1 case. Don’t expect other clubs to cop it because your leader wants to lock down the state every case that arises
I am sure they were more then happy to hub Qld , nsw , SA it’s just like Melbourne clubs wanted no part of Western Australia hub unless if they really had to

Is that you Trent?
Hahaha, here we go again, with a little twist.
Got the proof of that?
You really struggle with facts don't you.
Hint: Not 1 Melbourne club said they would not hub.
Some players said that there would be players who might say no to hubs, in the worst case scenario that was put to them, but not 1 club said they would not hub.
What's next?
Surly you guy’s will be getting out of your lockdown sooner then Friday another day of 0 cases

No, they didn’t want to hub to kick off the year, so it was left up to everyone else after whinging over the afls initial proposal. Already shown you the report on that one so not digging it up again
while the rest of the clubs would be hubbing it up for an uncertain length of time, the afl and Victorian government were trying to bring down borders so that the Victorian clubs wouldn’t have to hub at all
‘Bit rich’: WA premier whacks ‘pampered’ Victorian clubs
Mark McGowan couldn’t resist taking a pot shot towards Victoria as he made a major AFL announcement.
7news.com.au
While McGowan is not willing to grant border exemptions, he instead continues to push the case for some of Victoria’s 10 clubs to relocate to a quarantine hub in WA.
“The two-week quarantine arrangement needs to stay in place, the integrity of the state borders needs to stay,” McGowan said.
“It appears to me Victorian clubs aren’t willing to leave their comfort zone and come over here to hub in Western Australia, yet they expect our teams to go over there.

You are a full on liar.
No club said they would not hub, some players (not all Vics) said there would be some who would not go in a worst case scenario.

Players predominantly from Victorian clubs refused to hub under the AFL initial proposal. Fact.
They were more than happy when the next proposal involved everyone else going into a hub for an uncertain amount of time. Fact.
The afl and Victorian government tried pressuring other states to bring down their borders. Fact.
victorian clubs left Melbourne only when there was positively no other option. Fact.

Real accomodating of him there.
See your 1st one is wrong again, they didn't refuse, go read the quotes, they said, "there would be some players who MIGHT not go into hubs"
Now when the hubs started, guess what? some players didn't go.
As i said, you are unable to comprehend what a fact is.
Now, your initial statement was "Melbourne clubs refused to go into hubs"
Not 1 club refused, comprehend? probably not.

Melbourne players chucked a tantrum when the afl presented their first hub proposal in a zoom conference. So it was scrapped for one which proposed everyone else to go into a hub, which they found much more appealing. Better?
The state of WA is not locked down. It is Perth, south of Perth and North of Perth. The hot spot designated area, not the entire state.
Similar to when Brisbane was locked down. The rest of QLD was not.
