Four points, they (TWSNBN)would have demanded it. Gate takings or TV takings and loss of accrued points to date......

    How in the f... would Gil know.

    Something smells rotten here.

    How was he allowed back into the country?

    Is it more of the au pair fiasco again?

    Was always going to happen and it won’t be the last incident. 
    This season might struggle to get to a finale. 
    Everyone stay safe.

    Its really thrown a bit into chaos and sadly we will be shafted out of this is the game does not go ahead this week. we will have to make it up, it halts any continuity. Its tough for sure.

    Just an empty flat feeling - if ever there was a time to imagine what it would be like have no Dees in the comp, now is that moment. When we get through all of this, It must never, ever happen. Watching the other clubs running around is hollow.

    Essendrug seem to run their own rules

    If a player tests positive yesterday that should be enough to Quarantine them i would say. 
    it’s what i would do

    The MFC have to be firm on this, unless the season is done

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

    Don't be a jerk, there's literally nil chance he was there.  I think the rallies were irresponsible, but they are also NOT the reason for the slowed lifting of restrictions - that relates primarily to hotel security staff not been given proper equipment and training for safety.

    So, unless you also wish to claim McKenna has been hanging out with hotel security contract managers, pull your head in on that one, eh?

    My focus is on Essendon letting him rejoin the main group while holding an 'ambiguous' test result.

    Not that Essendon have ever done great with the 'ambigious' medical scenarios.

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

    Not really. 

    "The median incubation period was estimated to be 5.1 days (95% CI, 4.5 to 5.8 days), and 97.5% of those who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days (CI, 8.2 to 15.6 days) of infection. These estimates imply that, under conservative assumptions, 101 out of every 10 000 cases (99th percentile, 482) will develop symptoms after 14 days of active monitoring or quarantine."

    I am sorry but that is nonsense. Gil wouldn't know his elbow from his shizen on this.

    You can tell from the press conference that the position of CEO is so far out of his league it's almost funny. Go back to your Polo Gil.

    They've rescheduled the other sunday games too. One now starts at 8pm, all to ensure there is a 3pm game

  • Quote

    The other worrying thing is that Melb (city) has had an increasing number of covid cases this week and on top of it restrictions are not being eased on Monday as planned. 
     

    Will be real interesting to see what happens.

    My understanding is that the tightened restrictions are not connected to the protesters, but more to fools who were positive continuing to go to work and to visit friends and family,  coupled with the hotel security staff as mentioned above by Little Goffy.

    This could so easily have been us after last week. Disappointing we're not playing tomorrow but at least our boys aren't now at risk of being infected and in the same boat as Essendon. It would be good if they could bring forward the Geelong game so that we don't have to wait a fortnight between games.

    Seriously?  Their first thought was to make sure TV went along okay?

    I'd be livid if I was one of the clubs told to reschedule their day within 24hrs of the start of the match.

    Wait... I'm already livid.

    You can imagine every EFC player is allergic to testing.

    So [censored] off... I was looking forward to this game big time,  I was confident, and I hate these cheats.

    True but what I meant (and should have been clear about) is that it is plucked out of the air whether 97% or 98% or 14 days or 15 days etc is the magic number to protect us all.  I suspect whatever percentage that gave us 14 days was chosen because some ancient Sumerian decided we would have 7 day weeks.

    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. 

    Gil will be forced to make a difficult call on them by Thurs.  Surely Essendrug is culpable IF it allowed him to train with a low grade positive this week / today?

    You are probably not far wrong with this.  They forfeit matches, including ours, or the season is put on ice.  Im betting the former.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
