No escape from Victoria: A-League teams fail to reach Canberra from Melbourne – twice

Players from Melbourne Victory, Melbourne City and Western United thwarted in double midnight dash to flee Covid-19 lockdown and finish the season
Just before midnight, the players gathered on the tarmac, waiting for the plane like it was the last flight out of Morocco. At their destination, Canberra airport in the nation’s capital, fog swirled above the ground. Visibility was low.
At Melbourne’s Tullamarine airport, the players from Victoria’s three A-League teams – Melbourne Victory, Melbourne City and Western United – stood there, idling. The plane did too. In Canberra, the weather worsened. The message came through – no.
From @alinodiamanti23 Instagram last night.@BesartBerisha7 saying "never in my career" have I seen this. So all 3 Melbourne teams didn't get to NSW. @GladysB has just reiterated that nobody from Melbourne can get into the state. The teams will now need an exemption to get in. pic.twitter.com/rDBnOld6JL
