    MFC involved in another first

    I assume they will test them all and wait for the results..... Monday game perhaps

    they (afl) claim the can get results in 3 hours. maybe gil will have results by 4pm presser (or whenever it occurs)

    Interesting scenarios postponed to when? Chance of split points? Or do we have A claim to all 4?

    Apparently he tested +ve earlier in the week but was a-symptomatic and continued to train to even early this morning, where a second test revealed another +ve test.

    Not across the protocols with everything covid related, but if the system allows for training after a positive test to continue, that is amazingly ignorant by either the AFL or EFC.

    I guess there is a risk McKenna might  bite one of our players.

    If that's true, heads should roll.

    Word is that our game gets postponed but that the rest of the season, for now, will continue.

    I'm relieved as I get a weekend off from the nerves and I can laugh at teams like Richmond without fear of reprisal.

    Isn't he the bloke that went back to Ireland ? If so I bet that is where he picked it up and has had it in his system untraceable until recently.

    bummers will be out of action (with no training) for at least 2 weeks, probably 3 weeks

    certainly should........if true......why would you chance it

    If they can test and get results in a few hours, assuming that no other players are infected, why can’t we play tomorrow?

    Well he did the mandatory 14-day quarantine, so they are either wrong about how long it can become detectible or he has contracted it in Australia. Not ideal either way.

    He trained yesterday with the Dons team... surely the Dees need to say we won’t play them for 14 days!!!

    Because   you don't always test positive if you have it.  But if there is a +ve test, then even if it is a false +ve test, you'd be mad to asssume so.  And it's still not clear exactly when you are contageous.

    it takes a day or so to manifest itself sometimes. The science on testing is all over the place.In quarantine you are tested twice.Once on day 2 and again on day 9 for example

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
