Geelong’s players and staff will have to decide whether to put their entire families into home lockdown or quarantine in hotels without them before Thursday night’s trip to Adelaide to face the Power.
But like Collingwood, the AFL would give Geelong’s travelling party the option to spend the week in hotels if the lockdown was expected to unfairly burden family members, such as school-aged children, should the South Australian government require the Cats to quarantine from Monday night. However, despite the easing of restrictions in Geelong – which allows regional Victorians to move freely outside of the city – Cats players and staff have continued living under Melbourne’s “five reasons to leave home”.
But the Port Adelaide and Geelong clash is anticipated to go ahead on Thursday night with approval from the South Australian state government, with the Cats flying into Adelaide on Thursday and departing the next day. Despite reports the game could be moved, the Cats and the AFL are expecting the game to be held at Adelaide Oval.

Albanese lashes out at Morrison's vaccine rollout | Sky News AustraliaPrime Minister Scott Morrison is someone who can 'roll out the red carpet for himself but hasn't been able to roll out the vaccine,' says Labor leader Anthony Albanese.\n\nThe opposition leader has been calling out Prime Minister Scott Morrison and said he should be held responsible for Victoria's latest lockdown due to inaction on state and federal-managed isolation.\n\nMr Morrison had promised to increase intake numbers at the Howard Springs quarantine facility in Darwin by April or May but there's been no rise in incoming travellers.\n\n'This is a government that always crab walks to a 90 degree turn before it goes 180,' Mr Albanese said.\n\n'We know that the facilities at the moment, in hotel quarantine, the outbreak in Victoria has come from Adelaide and we know that 21 separate outbreaks have occurred.\n\n'This government had two jobs this year, they had to get hotel quarantine right and they had to roll out the vaccine'.\n\nMr Albanese also said the federal government 'makes things up' as it goes and argued Scott Morrison 'should have put in place purpose-built quarantine facilities run by the national government last year'.\n\n'That was the best time to do this, the next best time is right now,' he told Sky News.\n\n'This so-called criteria they've come up with contradicts the government's position that it's nothing to do with them and that hotel quarantine is going fine.'
