No he wasn’t at the club this morning.

The 7 report stated he was at the club this morning and the club insists he came into contact with only a few players and officials.

    Yes that’s what I heard 

    couldn’t be bothered arguing the point with Satyr

    The crux is whether Ess got the result last night or this morning 

    i have heard different reports 

    Because you were wrong, this is from AFL website Fake News?

    It was reported on radio he was at training today, but you keep points scoring muscles.

    What is a "low grade positive"?

    You can't be half pregnant. What is the difference with the WuFlu?

    The test is complex. The swab is put in a machine that grows the virus to a level and then detects it. In the early stages of infection the virus load can be low and barely detectable.That is why the repeat this morning and it tested positive indicating an increase in his viral load. Suggests he got it recently. It is standard if you get an unexpected result you repeat it to see if the results are reproducible.

    Also note he is in the incubation period and asymptomatic. He trained Friday and vision on the news show him, tackling, contact drills and even having a spit and they may not have had the results back till AFTER he trained. He was at the club this am for repeat test and looks like they sped up the test turn around time and got a pos result. Then the fun began

    It's not point scoring, pointing out facts, I know Demonland is not heavily reliant on facts

    Who needs to point score against anybody on this forum

    Fish barrel,  two words that spring to mind

    Just curious to what people think the fine will be that Essendon get for bringing the game into disrepute?

    There’s no point Cards it would be easier to hit ur head against a brick wall all with nails sticking out of it and less painful.

    I've just seen that footage. Certainly worse than I had imagined, given he was in the middle of a drill and then returned to it without appearing to clean/wash his hands.

    I don't know what we or other clubs are doing but of course, every time someone gets tackled I'm sure they release plenty of spit from their mouths, so the risk of that sort of thing happening is going to be inherent in any AFL match.

    Yes. Imagine if your local Barista did that and carried on with their job. Remembering these are professional footballers and coaches.

    Any chance future seasons can also go ahead without them... ?

    We can only hope. 

     Surely we should be given the 4 points. 

     Why should we be penalised later in the season with shorter breaks between games. 

     If the game is rescheduled later in the season you can bet they will fair better schedule wise than we do.

    Agreed, plus all that lovely percentage we would have had from thrashing them.

    Apparently we’ve scheduled an intra club on the MCG tomorrow. 
     

    Wish they would televise that.

    As I understand it, it takes time for a (the) virus to infect a host sufficiently to show up in a test, therefore the quarantine.  

    You don't cough on someone and they are instantly positive; it's got to infect the host, grow in the host and then spread to the throat, lung, nasal regions to be able to be captured on a swab.

    That's correct. As I'm lead to believe. The bombers (everyone) will be tested Tuesday. If they all are clear then they will play next week. If one or more people are positive then the [censored] hits the fan.

    If McKenna trained with a low grade positive, surely they have breached protocol and have to Forfeit this and any future rounds missed?

    never heard of this "low grade positive" stuff before

    is it like being part pregnant?

    It will all be sorted soon enough, Bombets will have Stephen Dank working on a vaccine

    Is there any chance Mckenna was exposed to the virus while in his 14 day isolation at a designated Hotel? That has people who are positive for the virus. On day 10 of isolation he comes in contact with lets say a security guard who somehow has the virus.

    I've often wondered about putting all the potential virus carriers in the one spot for 14 days. Perhaps a more prudent practice might be a further period of isolation at home (and testing) if you have been in a known location of infected.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
