No it is not alright. I would assume it is in contravention of the AFL rules, which are much stricter than those for the community. 

sounds like an essential outing to me... no different to shopping etc which is allowed

The guy has just returned from Ireland.... he needs to live somewhere

In the circumstances whereby a player tests positive after breaching AFL Covid19 protocols then his club should forfeit the points for any match that can’t be played as a consequence. If the AFL and the club in question had any integrity, that outcome would be accepted by consensus and we all move on.

the best solution and in the interests of kirnerism i think all clubs (maybe excluding essington) should be awarded a premiership cup and banner for 2020. Likewise all players who have played a minimum of 5 games in 20020 should be awarded the brownlow.

the clubs, the fans and the sponsors would be rapt

I'm still googling Daisy.

I'd like to know why he absolutely needed to go to Ireland in the first place. Lockdown means lockdown, some of us had loved ones stranded in South America waiting and still waiting to get home. Harden up


Can someone tell me why Dwayne Russell implied a couple of times tonight that the Melbourne v Geelong (in addition to the Essendon V Carlton game) game next week is in doubt?

What’s McKenna’s positive test got to with us, in terms of next week,  considering all other games are going ahead for the time being.

Because he’s a rich, privileged, pampered sooky footballer.

The season is a complete farce. 

I have to admit that I’m getting some kind of perverse pleasure out of this year. It’s like watching a train wreck, but more trains keep coming along the track and crashing into the already wrecked trains.

Feel really sorry for AVB. He has waited so long to pull on a Melbourne jumper and now this.

Hopefully there will be a next week.

He probably assumed that our game vs Bombers would be played at some point next week and they'd then need to push out Cats game to give us a proper break?

In what circumstances were they stranded in Sth America, bucket list travel?

He went home, not the first footballer wanting to do that?

I thought the same thing. The answer it doesn't have anything to do with us. He is an idiot. Drop step indeed.

Well at least the Demons will be assured of a win tomorrow

McKenna is to be investigated by the AFL according to The Age to see whether he breached COVID protocols. He is suspected of having breached them. If so Essendon should default the game. 
https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/essendon-s-mckenna-tests-positive-for-covid-19-20200620-p554jg.html

Wait ‘til they find out he’s been using Guinness as a masking agent.

Does that stuff cure cancer?

No idea but it's great for the immune system. Sláinte!

Not just saying this because I’m a Melbourne supporter but Essendon should forfeit and we should just get the four points. 

The reason is the rest of the season will be disrupted trying to squeeze games in to make up for it.

I would also suggest this if a Melbourne player tested positive.

2020 is a real ****show. Wake me up in 2021

What makes you think 2021 is going to be any better?

 

Wow, just woke up to the news. It's hard to see the season going forward from here for Essendon in a way that is not compromised. BUT that's what the AFL does best, operate in compromised conditions.

From what I have read, EFC seem to have followed protocol, so it's hard to come from a punitive perspective towards them.

For Melbourne, well, I started a thread before the Carlton game about what the season looks like from the FD department perspective. This locks it in now to being  preparation for individuals and team systems 'in game' to get a clear run for 2021...I'd dare say all other teams have that focus now too. 

What a palaver. 

Ps... this has prolonged Harley's career! Woot!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
