I can't believe they didn't call a snap 3 day lockdown a few days ago. The QLD government locks down after someone has sneezed. I think it works to minimise transmission while contact tracing happens. 3 days early beats an extended period later. Plus there would be a crowd at the G this weekend.
correction: the Qld govt locked down and closed borders in the lead up to an election.
now, we dont hear the 'keeping qld'ers safe' bite so much, and there seems to be much less snap Covid decisions.
there will be no crowds. 5 day lockdown coming. Benny Gale to confirm we are playing in Sydney
Quite ironic given it was a critical failure in SA hotel quarantine that has led to the outbreak in Melbourne. Now we miss out on a home game. They’ve *smile* us both ways.
Looks like the game will be in Sydney.
I love Anastasia. Without her no footy and no flag for Tigers. Might have kept the Vic riff raff for most of the year out but small price to pay.
We need to just check with our medical/conditioning people first - maybe a 4-6 weeks pause would suit better
maybe we should forfeit the season. Peggy phones Gil and says 'ya'll go ahead without us, we're just going to consolidate our club and try pay off our fines and donations and try and get on top of the new rules'
remain undefeated b2b premiers for another year

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
If the lockdown is more than 7 days, and spills into the following weekend, then the silver lining could be that Dreamtime can take place in Darwin again.
Lockdown...
Just hearing that word makes me depressed again.
Hopefully Richmond can create magic for us again. Only the biggest club can have the biggest effect on the most people during tough times. It’s their ethical obligation to keep winning premierships!

Not sure that's right. We had snap lockdowns with a couple of transmissions just before Easter and another lockdown in January on the back of the first UK strain hitting the community. Both lockdowns were swift, short and sharp and seemed to limit transmission (or maybe it was just a coincidence).
I'm definitely not an apologist for QLD ALP / Annastascia Palachook (I just wish the LNP could put up a viable opposition) but I can't fault the way they have handled COVID. I was back in the office in July last year, eating out, watching the footy. Meanwhile poor Victorians were stuck at home.
So if we play in Sydney forfeiting our home game, do we get compensated later in the year with a home game to make up for it ? Or is it just a case of bad luck & this is the times we are in ?
This is Richmond...can't believe you need to ask the question!
