Plus Melbourne’s lower humidity and temperature are conditions for higher rates of transmission, so you’d think Victoria would have a lower threshold for snap lockdowns than QLD. Snap lockdowns have been shown to be effective around the world, so I agree with you about our fairly slow reaction for this one.

Someone told SHocking we have lost our last four at Giants Stadium.
Yeah - surely this could have been moved to Brisbane - they haven’t closed the borders yet have they.
Yes qld has implemented 2 week hotel quarantine for Vics.
No way we can play there at present.
Someone brought it back from India because they wanted to attend a wedding or some such. Count the cost...
They wouldn't take Hawthorn so there's no reason for them to take Richmond.

There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Nup:
"Richmond are preparing to fly to Sydney at 4pm on Thursday to face Adelaide at Giants Stadium and have been told they could play their annual Dreamtime clash against Essendon, set for round 12, in Perth.
Club sources at Richmond said the AFL had told the Tigers that they may even stay in Perth after the scheduled Dreamtime game, as they are set to play West Coast there in round 13.
Sunday’s match against Adelaide was originally to be played at the MCG but is set to be moved from to Giants Stadium as the AFL responds to Victoria’s escalating COVID-19 crisis."
Could work in our favour, a week in Perth ahead of the Weegles game to aclimatise and build up the "us against the city" mentality. Would love to beat them over there for once.
Given they have had to reschedule the Darwin game, move the Richmond game and there are issues with other games, plus the fact we have cases in Vic but most are still traceable, I would go for a 1 week postponement of all games and reset in a week. The lockdown in Vic will hopefully not be for long.
We really need to get out of this cycle of getting rid of the virus and it comes back so we lockdown. This is Australia, a country which does not have a lot of diseases which are rampant around the world, we have quarantined before, we know how to do this. Back years ago we had quarantine stations - Point Nepean, that island in Sydney Harbour. Why the f*** would Australia think that hotels are a decent quarantine facility? Shared air conditioning, close rooms etc, just not made for quarantine.
The Federal Government has been asleep, should have built dedicated quarantine at least 6 months ago and they are still sitting on their hands. In the words of the immortal John Kennedy: Do Something!

We can't stay closed forever, quarantine stations are a band-aid. We need to get the population vaccinated as soon as possible. That's the solution IMO.
WA has just closed it's borders with Victoria, so not sure how the Perth game will go ahead?
But we're not set to play anyone in R13, we're set to have the bye, with WCE in R14.
Where are we playing now following the last 15 mins? 1st half at Giant Stadium, 2nd half at Metricon?
