    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.

    Absolutely, Australians have been allowed to return home.

    He returned home to Ireland and then was allowed back to work.

    Should not have been allowed. Should have been stopped at the border as others have and told to return home.

    There is a break somewhere in the system.

    correct... interesting as to where he picked it up

    Luckily we have that world class contact tracing app

    Gil states he tested negative on Wednesday, very low grade positive on Friday and then positive on Saturday morning

    Therefore common sense says that picked it up sometime this week

    Testing irregularity yesterday, yet still allowed to train this morning. Wow. The arrogance of that club is unbelievable.

    if he was getting tested during the week why on earth did they pick him

    Essendon are so dumb? Seriously

    If we are forced to play them mid week and be disadvantaged before our next game with a short turnaround because of these [censored], it is an absolute disgrace!

    Mckenna was probably at the rally like the other tools that has meant restrictions are back in place.

    Any chance they play this game Tuesday or Wed night and then push our Geelong game back a day later to Monday night?

    The shorter quarters will mitigate shorter breaks.

    Or are Essendon out of business for 2 weeks?

    Trying to understand Essendon's degree of culpability or otherwise:    Tested on Fri with weak +ve signs, tested Sat at X o'clock and was +ve, confirmed at Y O'clock.  When was he at training?

    The book should be absolutely thrown at these flogs. How in their right mind could they let him train with the full group with an "irregular test" 

    Seeing he has been in close contact with their entire list I cannot see how they can avoid a 14 quarantine. 

    It'll either need to be the bombers forfeit their next 3 games and the season continues on for the rest of the comp. Or everyone is shut down.

    Seriously, this outcome is unfair to us. Momentum is important in a season not to mention the ability at this early stage to build up match fitness.

    We should get the win and points due to Essendons stupidity in allowing him to train with the group after he had an irregular test.


    Bunch of dumb arses.

    I am sorry but that is nonsense. Gil wouldn't know his elbow from his shizen on this. There have been reports from overseas, especially with people who have had the virus and then got better and tested negative to it only to re-catch it again. They believe that had not gotten rid of it and over time it has increased to where it will test positive again.

    Get ready for the second wave of a mutated, hence more virulent Coronavirus. 
     

    Football season gone now I’d think. ALL restrictions eased waaaay too early. Risk -v- Reward massive fail. Morons.

    Did he train this morning,? Gil just said he didn't.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
