The Suns had expected 5000 to 6000 mainly Richmond fans to travel for their game prior to the COVID issues. But they think the crowd will be fine, as per State of Origin.

wouldn't even waste my time flying up now with these fools who could shut up shop at any stage after 2 cases.

Anyway, if we cant beat the suns who are coming off a 5 day break then we are finished for the year. Regardless its time we cleaned out the dead wood starting with Houli, Ross, Garthwaite Egg and Chol.

Suns will push us make no mistake.

Lions, Suns told to flee Queensland, Thursday's Tigers clash in the air

Gold Coast's Thursday night clash with Richmond could be moved with the Suns and Brisbane players set to share a chartered flight to Melbourne on Tuesday afternoon.

Marvel Stadium is now one of the options for the Thursday night game but there is a chance the Suns will return to Queensland and play the match at Metricon.

The Queensland teams were told to leave the state in a bid to get ahead of any possible problems with the latest COVID-19 cases.

See ya at the G lads
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

haha as expected with that one up there hence why i cancelled with full refund. Massive blow to tourism.

If they are coming to Melb then they are not going back tomorrow to play Thursday night now.  The game will be at Marvel

That is a good result given our record at the g, but why would you think its at marvel?

It's meant to be an 'away' game for us. So the AFL will most likely play it 'away' at Marvel.

now wouldn't it be fair that it was played at the G considering all the home games we have lost over the last 2 years compared to the Lions and Gold Coast???? Hmmm

I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's down at Geelong  ;D

Suns home game they get to chose

Can't see them agreeing to the MCG
