malloy Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) If all things go to plan this will be our first official hit out of the 2021/2022 season. Will be interesting to see if we opt for a full strength squad, in particular whether Leckie, Maclaren and Nabbout will all start.

jw1739 Posted July 27, 2021 Report Share Posted July 27, 2021 Are we back at training yet? What's going to happen if the Olyroos continue on deep into the competition? Quarantine? A lot of question marks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I can't see any point in rushing these fixtures. Sydney's lockdown is set to be extended by another month, borders are open one minute and closed the next, and although I CBF looking up when the next round is, which is open rather than zoned, I can't see any point in starting the involvement of A-League clubs so early in their pre-season and when the non-League clubs haven't played for a while either.

Can't see the FFA cup being completed again. As for the A League, the suggested October start (nothing officially announced) is very optimistic. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deluka Posted August 8, 2021 Report Share Posted August 8, 2021 It’s going to be such a shame that this will have a COVID capacity in all likelihood. Fixture deserves 10-12k attendance imo, I really hope this isn’t played behind closed doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the country can reach this "first target" of 70% vaccinations, that's only of the adult population and still means 1 in 3 adults won't be vaccinated, so IMO it's even doubtful that the League will have spectators if it starts in late October. Maybe in Perth and Adelaide, yes, but not in the eastern States. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shahanga Posted August 10, 2021 Report Share Posted August 10, 2021 (edited) I assume they’ll reschedule rather than cancel. Postpone if you like.

What we are seeing is that just one incursion/leakage of an infected person can easily get away from us - don't make any mistake, we are on the brink here in Melbourne - and elite sport (as well as everyone else) is just going to have to come to terms with this situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ours is a flawed system. They are apparently also prepared to accept a higher rate of infection and death than we are. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shahanga Posted August 16, 2021 Report Share Posted August 16, 2021 Looks like I lost my green line. I was too optimistic predicting another “snap opening” in August. Might have to wait till October to get that (and lockdown 7) in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fensaddler Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 NSW has always been the centre of the A League, whether we like it or not. So the fact that they're in such a mess with COVID right now is bad news for all of us. There's half a chance Victoria may get out of this to some degree, but NSW are clearly stuffed for months. I'd guess that scenarios now include FFA cup cancellation, and a range of options for our League, including a delayed season start, no crowds in some locations, or hubs outside NSW. Sadly normal looks further off now than it did when we finished last season. All things must pass... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 NSW has always been the centre of everything, according to the Premier of Australia, Ms. Gladys. Both from her and the Prime Minister of NSW himself, Mr. Scott, we've learned a lot today. Importantly, that after 200 days of lockdown it was all wasted because it was never the objective to get to zero in the first place and that we better get used to her Delta leakage. Thanks pals.

Harrison Posted September 20, 2021 Report Share Posted September 20, 2021 Wonder when this will happen. Early November when we get to 80 per cent fully vaccinated? I’m assuming the Melbourne Cup will be attended, so we should be able to get a crowd too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m assuming the Melbourne Cup will be attended, so we should be able to get a crowd too. Probably the wrong thread but there's a lot more to consider than just 80% fully vaccinated averaged across the whole State. Andrews is implying that only fully vaccinated people will be able to attend these sorts of events; and as I understand it he's either got to pass enabling legislation for that, or extend the State of Emergency so he can do it via a Public Health Order. And it's all based on modelling that shows that our health services are going to be stretched, so if things don't go as planned we could be back to lockdown. Have South even trained lately?

Being the highest-level national cup competition in the country, four Victorian clubs supported by Football Australia and the Victorian Government, will begin training across the next two weeks in preparation for their respective Round of 32 FFA Cup Final Rounds campaigns.
