    Lets say it was closed down for two or three weeks, that would give Treloar more time to recover and Dunkley more time to iron out any challenges.

        Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

            Forget a couple of weeks bringing in Treloar, Martin, Wood plus Naughton & Dunkley.

            Darcy isn’t playing his way into top pick.
            Raak isn’t playing improving the chance he slides to a free hit
            MacPherson isn’t playing improving the chance he slides down to a free hit
            Draft rules might have to be eased again if too much u/18-19 footy is missed, that gave us Jamarra for bigger all, give us Darcy for bugger all
            VFL is playing to offset and players to get traded hurt their trade value. Known quantities value improved


            There’s a lot to be gained with multiple weeks off.

              Happy to have AFL all played in QLD again I saw loads of footy last year. Will be there on Sat and who knows, maybe the next couple of matches.

              But really, my bro and family is in Melb and sis-in-law in Sydney. Lock downs suck!

                    All of a sudden, my missing this week's game due to a camping trip with my mates may not necessarily mean I don't get to see the Dogs play again this year.
                    It just doesn't seem right though to be thankful though.... I just can't wait til we're through all this. I think I read a quote from a returning WW1 soldier in 1918...that said 'pandemic's suck balls, there's only so much time one can spend at home on the internet' Legit quote.

                      How can Metricon get 4 games this round and the GABBA none? The surface is a cow paddock at its best, will be a minefield by Sunday.

                      Is Brisbane under restrictions?

                        Yeah. We are, restrictions just extended for another 7 days... Apparently people don't travel from. Brisbane to Gold Coast...
                        Coronavirus doesn't respect state borders, but does hold intra state protocols in the highest of regard!

                          We now have new cases, new exposure sites and a strain of this virus that is wildly infectious. We’ve seen this strain before – and you probably already know what we need to do next. Victoria will not wait to act. We know that not much good comes from waiting. Waiting could see more people infected and the number of exposure sites explode. If we act now – while we’re right on the heels of this outbreak – we can give ourselves every chance of getting ahead of it. If we wait – we lose that option.


                          Statement From The Premier
                          15 July 2021

                          We now have new cases, new exposure sites and a strain of this virus that is wildly infectious.

                          We’ve seen this strain before – and you probably already know what we need to do next.

                          Victoria will not wait to act. We know that not much good comes from waiting.

                          Waiting could see more people infected and the number of exposure sites explode.

                          If we act now – while we’re right on the heels of this outbreak – we can give ourselves every chance of getting ahead of it.

                          If we wait – we lose that option.

                          Which is why, on the advice of Acting Chief Health Officer, Victoria will go into lockdown tonight, meaning there are only five reasons to leave home from 11:59pm on Thursday 15 of July 2021.

                          That means you can only leave home to get the food and the supplies you need, for exercise for up to two hours and no more than 5kms from your home, for care or caregiving, work or education if you can’t do it from home or to get vaccinated at the nearest possible location.

                          These restrictions will be in place for five days.

                          A list of authorised work and workers is available online here – but you all know the drill.

                          If you were an authorised worker during the last lockdown, you’ll be an authorised worker this time around. Everyone else must work from home.

                          Last night we announced that face masks must be worn indoors at all times (except at home) and outdoors when it’s not possible to physically distance.

                          Under today’s announcement, face masks must also be worn outdoors at all times.

                          We know this outbreak didn’t start here in Victoria. We know that wearing face masks can keep us safe and stop the spread.

                          So please, follow the rules and wear a face mask at all times.

                          For those that have returned from a red zone on a permit – you must follow the requirements of your permit.

                          That means going straight home to quarantine for 14 days and only leaving to get tested.

                          And we must be clear. Quarantining means staying at home.

                          If you need help getting the food and supplies you need to quarantine at home – call the coronavirus hotline on 1800 675 398.

                          We are counting on everyone to do the right thing.

                          For our families, our businesses and our state – stay at home and keep everyone safe.

                            Interesting comparison between VIC and NSW. Will wait and see how quickly or otherwise this outbreak in VIC can be quashed.

                              Had my first Pfizer jab mid-afternoon today. Arm's going to be a little sore and I was fatigued this evening after work to the extent I napped, but I've managed not to do a autism yet and the 5G towers aren't talking to me so things seem to be going OK.

                                Had my 2nd AstraZeneca shot yesterday. Bit of a sore arm and a “burning” of body within, but no real fatigue which is good.
