    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.

    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

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
