    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

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back at the MCG and have a massive challenge ahead of them as they take on Premiership contender the Gold Coast Suns. What do you want to see from the Dees today?

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
