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.

Fair point.

    WEDNESDAY JUNE 17

    Tested for COVID-19.

    FRIDAY JUNE 18 (MORNING)

    Returns a negative result and completes main contact training with teammates. It was his fifth negative test since returning from Ireland.

    FRIDAY JUNE 18 (AFTERNOON)

    Tested for COVID-19.

    SATURDAY JUNE 19 (MORNING)

    No more than 20 minutes after arriving at the club McKenna is told his Friday test returned a low grade irregularity. As a result, he is tested again and told not to train.

    SATURDAY JUNE 19 (AFTERNOON)

    Essendon and the AFL are informed of McKenna’s positive COVID-19 result. He had shown no symptoms.

    Had been out of the hotel for 18 days when he tested positive. Had 5 negative results inbetween. So, no.

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

    Wish they would televise that. 
     

     

    What are the odds HB and Tracc have a collision and both do knees?

    Well this sucks.

    Glad the club was quick and secured an intra-club at the G, the more we play/practice there the better.

    No more injury reports then?

    The game could be deferred until post season and would only be played if relevant to finals

    (That would be our luck...)

    WHEN WILL ESSENDON PLAY AGAINST MELBOURNE THIS YEAR?

    Although there is no official word from the AFL, the two teams can’t play this week for the reasons outlined above.

    But with shortened quarters, there is every possibility the Dons and Dees will meet mid-week or even after the home and away season and before finals.

    thank you. I was about to post a timeline asking what and when and ask if anyone could actually fill in the blanks.

    Yeah and he/you wasn't that far off. He was at the club Saturday morning.

    Reading too much into the wording, but after returning the low-grade result he was tested again and "told" not to train.

    So he may have actually trained...I wouldn't be surprised this was being twisted to suit agendas!

    Also, if they got the low-grade result on Friday evening, why was he allowed to come to the club on Saturday morning at spend at least 20 minutes there before being told. Ever heard of a telephone and to stay at home to be tested in isolation???

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

    He didn't train at the club today, he went there for further tests. By the way have you reached the full deck yet?

    Looking at that timeline the only question I'd have about Essendon's actions would be what did they tell him to do on Saturday beyond not training when the result came back .  Eg. did he go home to a house shared with other teammates etc? 

    More generally, I'd think it would be wise to ensure no one comes to training until the result of their last test comes back.   That would only require scheduling training and tests suitably (assuming tests results take a predictable time to be returned, as seems reasonable). And it would avoid what happened in those 20 minute son Sat morning.

    No, he went there to train, but was stopped when the Friday test result came back.  He was then given a test.  So he would have come into contact with Essendon people, even if he left before actually training.  As I said above, they should schedule training after all test results have come back so they can call people and tell them not to come in.

    He could of had the virus days before testing positive, you can have it and test negative. The snowball effect from this is massive.

    All we can hope for from here is that everyone is safe and Essendon are removed from the league.

    My post was in response to a poster or 2 who said he trained today, which he didn't.

    On the 12th of June a Sunshine Coast man tested positive in W.A. after his work insisted on him getting a new test, despite already having spent 14 days in quarantine. I don't think 14 days is enough. This virus is an unknown. It is constantly mutating in order to survive. I fear we are going to be stuck with it for a long time. 

    What a curse this virus is. As well as causing death and heartbreak, it has sucked out any joy of life. The football season is gone.?

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      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.
