Absolutely guaranteed to get a week after the Essendon player got a week. I know they're young, but this is just plain idiotic.

    Why are players being suspended and Adelaide copped nothing? 
     

    What will Spargos penalty be if he is not playing?

    Understand but they will be suspending players all year if they are this strict.

    The reason they're being strict is to appease the state governments. They want to show that they should be easily allowed to travel between states when they're still closed. If they keep breaching the rules and someone returns a positive test, some states won't allow teams to travel there.

    Carlton fan Andy Maher insisting that Pickett be suspended.

    Anyone know how they broke the restrictions?

    No Kozzie tomorrow then.. there goes a lot of excitement for the game.

    Would like to know what they did exactly, but I am about an  inch away from unleashing some references to '1984'.

    Visited a friend apparently.

    Tongue in cheek, the conspiracy theory goes like this:

    Ed Bagwire was starting to worry about Melbourne FC winning against Carlscum on Saturday, particularly after The Filth only received two points from their drawn game against the Tigers. If the MFC win, the they will receive four points from that match against Carlscum. That would assist the Dees to end the season (at this point) ahead of The Filth. Comprehensively, by fair means or foul, Ed has decided to wield his influence with the AFL (granted to no other, by the way) as a means of reducing the Dees' chances of beating Carlscum.

    Using his immense footballing intellect, Ed considered that Spargo and Pickett could be the Dees' main avenues to goal. He thus created the rumour for someone else to follow-up that the Covid19 restrictions had been breached by such potentially unstoppable young players in the Dees' lineup. He awaits the outcome. Meanwhile, he will set to work on other rival clubs in some manner equally as anonymous.

    It has to be done. Given no social distancing at training or games is possible, all it takes is one positive test to shut down the entire competition. 
     

    Say Pickett gets infected by the friend he visited. He tests positive and therefore everyone at the club and the opposition side we played have to be tested and quarantine. That means two teams at a minimum are out of the competition for up to two weeks, which means virtually the entire AFL has to close for two weeks. It’s a disastrous situation and I agree with the AFL’s hard line.

    I am sure the Coach is in a good mood about it.

    Most players are not Einsteins, unfortunately they are not even Pavlovian Dogs.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
