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.

    Considering he went into isolation for 14 days and has now tested positive....

    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!

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
