    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.

    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

    • 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.
