over an hour ago the AFL verdict was imminent according to Tom Morris so ...

Damn. If you said Tom Browne they would have been cleared to play.

You can argue about their risks of exposure be it high or low but the fact of the matter is is that by breaking the rules, draconian or otherwise, they potentially put the whole team at "risk of having to forfeit" due to potential exposure.

When did the club know about this?

Were the boys at training today? Have they mixed with others since breaching? Doesn't Kozzy live with Jets? Does he now risk having to pull out because of second hand exposure. It's a potential minefield.

I actually believe the risk is low but if the AFL and the state governments want to get tough they could wield a hammer here. I don't think they will but if any team was going to get [censored] it would be us.

All they are saying....is give Weid a chance ?

There’s nothing on the AFL site about it. Until we know how they were supposed to have breached regs, we can’t assume that it warrants a suspension.

Brainless numbnuts. FMD. Lockhart in for me.

Interesting dinner conversation at the Jetta house tonight. If the friend is a girl friend or boyfriend, it’s all good........just saying

Yes but this is UNPRECEDENTED circumstances 

[Lord Travis 10,785]

As if our forward line wasn’t [censored] enough! Now we lose Pickett... fmd.

Reckon Carlton will win tomorrow. Just a feeling. Probably mfcss.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

Have a feeling Lockhart isn't fit. I couldn't believe he was out of the 22, let alone not an emergency.

None of the remaining emergencies are a great fit however.

[titan_uranus 25,060]

Very disappointing.

Whether you agree with the current COVID rules or not, they are there and the players know they are supposed to adhere to them.

They may or may not. Either way, it won't be because Kozzie (a 1 game veteran) isn't playing.

I heard he’s carrying a bit of an injury. I hope Bedford takes K-Picks spot.

Is it possible that Hannan might get a run?

[old55 23,805]

Seriously? Dumb as dog doo-doo!

[DeeZee 7,445]

His stupidity has cost him a place along side uncle Nev for his big milestone game.

Looks like we have no choice but to delist Spargo as a result.

Could not give a fat rats Clacker about Spargo, But Kossie on the other hand is potentially a big loss!

They haven't been suspended yet....

[DubDee 26,223]

Forgive my lack of awareness but what are the rules for players? Zero contact with any of the public aside from other players and coaches?

Good shout, haven’t heard anything about Hannan but if he’s fit I’d be keen to see him back in the line up.

no contact outside your approved bubble. Every players living environment has been approved.

Not sure if they are even allowed out for food shopping

[Roger Mellie 4,154]

If you loose an emergency player, aren't you allowed to replace them with another?
