    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.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • 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.
