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.

 

If he trained with the group this morning they should throw the book at this mob....... AGAIN!!

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: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
