The ex-player scandals are becoming more pissweak by the day. By Friday it's Josh Wagner crossing the road against the red man.

    I am struggling with what he has done wrong. Freo are not  playing finals, there are no transfered cases in WA. The general population can pretty much do as they please. Am I missing something?

    When returning to WA from interstate, you are required to self isolate for 14 days. Only those who live at the same address may you come in to contact with.

    It's a WA law breach, not a specific AFL Covid rule breach (although the AFL procedures may include an obligation to follow State rules and laws).

    There is no other country in the world that has closed internal states off from one another like we have.

    Sure cities and areas have been quarantined and distance restrictions have been imposed but States.... not to my knowledge.

    Hogan came from an isolated hub where the players are tested once or twice a week..... the application of sensible risk based decision making has been overtaken by the mantra of populism.

    Must be a lot of "social police" in WA

    As you suggest absurd.

    Yes and no, Mr Old.

    Players all agreed to the terms of AFL hub and state quarantine rules as part of their continuing ability to travel Australia and play footy. They are high profile, highly paid professional sports people. Doesn't seem like a big ask, especially since no one can be 100% sure they haven't come into contact with the virus. He knew what he was doing, must've known it was wrong, got caught

    I'd call it low risk, but certainly not no risk

    I had forgotten they are supposed to be in quarantine on return. As for brains and high paid sportsmen they quite often don't go together.

    Bit rough I say.

    When the man downstairs starts talking.
    He can talk forken loud and isn't easy to ignore.

    Especially when you're 25yrs old and there's a bangin' babe knocking on the front door.

    Keep in mind that not every other country has "internal states".

    Nevertheless, ever since these cross-border lockdowns were introduced I've been waiting for Denis Denuto to take the case to the High Court to test the constitutionality of the matter. I guess in a way that's what Clive Palmer was doing...and he does seem like a character straight out of 'The Castle'.

    Germany, UK (call them countries), India, Pakistan, USA, Canada, France (called regions) Malaysia, China (regions) Spain (regions) and the list goes on

    Have no issue with risk based quarantine but to base it on arbitrary State/Region lines is not what anyone else in the world is doing

    Including USA, Spain, UK, India and France doesn't really help the argument when you compare their infection numbers with Australia's.

    The real issue, which I suspect we will both agree with, is whether there is cause and effect. That is, has closing State borders actually made any difference?

    Gee our former players have been naughty. Watts leaving the scene of  a car crash, Harley ending up in hospital, breaching covid and now Jesse.

    Could this latest indiscretion be the final straw for Jesse at Freo and perhaps see him be a little cheaper on the market? (Both serious and a little tongue in cheek ?)

    Somewhat disingenuous. Not all countries have the same systems of internal governance, nor for that matter the same geographies or travel infrastructure.

    I'm in France. Unlike the States in Oz, the Regions here have zero statutory or legislative power. They couldn't enforce border controls even if they wanted - though there are no regional borders anyway, except for a "Welcome to" sign alongside the autoroute. The Regions basically run the education system locally, build roads and public transport infrastructure, contribute to culture and tourism, but that's about it. Apart from that, they're largely symbolic: if you want to get on politically in France you run for mayor, you don't go into the Region.

    For his trouble he is now locked in quarantine in a hotel room under security surveillance for the next 14 days. W.A. government really want to make a point.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
