Ban Essendon for 14 days, move on and give us the 4 points 

Precisely. If players can be suspended for breaching Covid19 rules, then clubs have to go if they can’t produce a team clean of the virus.

    Apparently McKenna was in Ireland and did his 14 days in quarantine.  Only returned to training last week.

    Reports form China from the harbin outbreak saying that some cases of the virus is having a longer incubation Period, plus taking longer to clear from system.

    I think they’ll reschedule the match. Perhaps to a later date or have a 3-games in 2 weeks scenario.  Thursday night to Tuesday night to Sunday night fixture.  Stay tuned.

    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.

    So he tested positive...to a club test.

    ...if that's true and was allowed to train.

    Then he and the club ge banned from the rest of the season.

    We should get the 4 points..  what is worse is building match fitness which other clubs can and we can;t.  You can’t train for the intensity of games during the week.  Even a intra-club match is not the same.

     14 days was a numebr plucked out of the air to a large extent.

    If they only postpone the game. Come later on in the season, you get a few injuries that aren't major, could you deliberately infect a player so that you get an extra two weeks for your players to recover? An extreme measure but it could be done!

    ....by the way, how in the f... was he let back into the country in the first place.

    The borders were closed I thought.

    He's not in an essential industry.

    Is he an Australian citizen or did the bombers pull in a favour.

    FFS...

    Well a lot of what goes on in the AFL is arguably criminal from a supporters point of view, but this would land someone in jail.

    Lot's of journalist have thrown around the term closed borders, but international flights have never stopped. People returning from overseas need to do 2 weeks of hotel quarantine.

    Hear hear Rjay.  Should be a 21 day quarantine for sporting teams.  So much to lose if it gets loose.  More importantly, this is really gonna stuff my whole weekend!

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
