possum52 Posted March 27, 2022 #51 Share Posted March 27, 2022 I ventured to my first AFL game for the season yesterday at Marvel Stadium to watch the Bombers and Lions with my fellow Bomber daughter and grandson. We also had younger grandson with us who is a Lion's supporter. Not overly disappointed with the result - thought the Lions would win by a big margin. 22 points wasn't too bad in the end, although if we had kicked straight, we may have been closer or even won. Oh well next time maybe or probably not as the Dees are our opponent next week. To losfp and Cruisegroover, do fans attending AFL matches in Sydney have to be fully vaccinated? If so did you have to show your certificate on arrival at the ground? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NSW rules are - Most premises in NSW are now open to everyone, regardless of whether you are fully vaccinated or not. You no longer need to show evidence that you are fully vaccinated at most premises. However, you still need to show evidence that you are fully vaccinated if you: attend an indoor music festival with more than 1000 people if you work in certain industries. Some premises may choose to require people to be fully vaccinated or to wear a mask as a condition of entry.

I had my certificate ready to show but no-one was interested in seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted March 27, 2022 Author #54 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Interesting. Sounds like the rules down under vary from state-to-state, like here. But at this point, I don't think any state require us to show our vax certificate. Might change with the new BA2 (??) variant. I'm hoping we get authorized for a 4th jab before we go off Rome in October. What is the outlook for boosters down under? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two weeks ago I was in Melbourne and saw Harry Potter the Cursed Child - check in with QR code, showed vaccination certificate and had to wear a mask. Last week I saw 9 to 5 in Sydney and nothing required. Around 90% of the audience did chose to wear their masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted March 27, 2022 Author #56 Share Posted March 27, 2022 It can be really hard to keep up with the varying rules. I hope we have seen the worst of covid and can slowly get back to more normal activities. It is so changeable here, I always carry a mask on my wrist, just so I'm ready. I still wear a mask in stores--can't be too careful 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoWhiners Posted March 27, 2022 Author #58 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Nice that they have decided, I wish we would. We are planning on getting a 4th jab in Sept/Oct, with our flu shot. That should keep us current, since last jab was Oct 2021. Although, I think if you claim you are immuno-compromised, you can get a booster anytime. I read a story that vax and boosters are way down here this year. Probably won't help us in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losfp Posted March 27, 2022 #59 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Yeah vax certs are technically not required anymore but it depends on the venue and events. Didn't have to show it on Friday night at the SCG for the AFL Didn't have to show it on Saturday night at Ken Rosewall Arena for the netball But I did have to show it at the Sydney Opera House for Six the Musical on Sunday night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted March 27, 2022 Author #60 Share Posted March 27, 2022 Hmm, is it the difference between outdoor and indoor? Indoor masks are still required in some places here. Not many though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. My husband was at the MCG for the first game of the season and had to show his vaxx cert. Seems as if in NSW, it is up to the venue, as you attended two indoor and one outdoor events.

possum52 Posted March 28, 2022 #62 Share Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Saw some vision earlier today of a family who sprinkled some of their grandmother's ashes on the ground after Buddy kicked his 1000th. And Buddy had the ball returned to him today. Edited March 28, 2022 by possum52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope grandma's ashes have a little time to be incorporated into the ground before things get churned up 😉 Glad Buddy got the ball. That has to be one of his best remembrances of playing. Go Swans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite creepy, probably on the bottom of people's shoes soon after they spread the ashes on the ground. Yes Bud was happy to have the ball returned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted March 31, 2022 #65 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Just got home from camera club. No one has been playing on the interwebz. From the stats, Buddy had a good game. Kicked 2 goals and lots of positives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losfp Posted March 31, 2022 #66 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Yeah after the huge emotion of last week, I guess it wasn't a shock that we were off the pace all match, and lacked intensity. Dogs controlled the game, and it was only due to their inaccurate goalkicking that we were a chance to snatch it late. Lots to learn from the match and we'll have a 9 day break until we take on North Melbourne at the SCG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoWhiners Posted March 31, 2022 Author #67 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Such a letdown after last week, but I guess the Swans had to lose at some point 😞 A short break could be good for them. Go Swans! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
