So the next 1-5 opponents of Essendrug will play a massively depleted side, but we will play them once everyone has returned, even though the incident happened before our game. 
 

Our next opponent should be Essendrug 

Work out the logistics AFL...

    When we play Ess later in the season, if it is on short turnarounds before/after the game we are further disadvantages vs at least one of the other teams we play who will have a longer break.  So that potentially is 4 games in which we will be disadvantaged to finish higher up the ladder.

    AFL General Council Andrew Dillon says Essendon will be forced to play games even if a number of players are in quarantine.

     

    Oh....the spelling.....................

    If that’s the case then why not play the reduced squad from Essendon v Melbourne on Wednesday night this week and move the Round 4 games involving Essendon and Melbourne to Tuesday night next week.

    Unless the Vic Premier, an ardent Ess fan, makes a 'captain's call' claiming 'flexibility' and find a reason for them to not play on.

    But that would mean virtually jettison the whole competition and given the covid situation in victoria I can't believe he would be that reckless - altho he did roll the dice with Cedar Meats and lost.  So who knows when it comes to his football club.

    Would not want to be playing  TWSNBN, depleted side or not. How many more is going to stop this facade?

    So the campaigner has admitted to breaching restrictions rules even after being warned.

     

    Give us the 4 points and be done with it for ffs.

    Maybe if the bombers players protest they can play?

    Thats legal isnt it?

    if MFC players did the same after being warned i would say exactly the same thing

    The MFC have been massively compromised because of his blatant disregard for SIMPLE RULES

     And boot Essendon out of the comp forever.

    Seriously if this guy breached the rules and our club doesn’t go demanding the 4 points, I will be furious. 

    If this happened to Collingwood Eddie would be screaming blue murder. Completely unfair!

    Yeah if he's knowingly breached the guidelines, particularly after Essendon already had a teammate break them, my sympathy goes out the window.

    Just projecting a theory ...if ESS does lose their back 7 players & plays their next 2 games  with a severely compromised team with the likelihood of 2 wins & massive % booster for their opponents  ...what does that mean for the MFC who have had their game postponed & then will possibly have to play later in the season off shorter breaks to very likely a full strength ESS team . If this happens then it is definitely a truly “compromised” season !

    Carlton, Essendon's opponent next week, is the big winner in this scenario.

    Particularly since the MFC did the right thing and self reported players that breached the rules, without them testing positive.

    It's being speculated that this bloke McKenna will receive a substantial suspension.  Well that had better be served after he tests negative to COVID 19, otherwise it would be a pretty pathetic faux penalty.  Seems like this guy didn't really care about playing footy that much in the first place, so I recon a more fitting penalty would be to apply the maximum finacial penalty possible.

    Should be an immediate four points to Melb. 

    I see this and, at first, thought it was silly... however, I'm kind of understanding where most are coming from now.  We've been totally short changed in all of this, and it has nothing to do with us.  We didn't break the rules.  We didn't force the game to be postponed.  And now, we're potentially going to have to play a game at a different time (during the week or after the main season altogether) and suffer because of it.

    While my care factor for this season is the lowest it's been for any season I've experienced, I'd like to see something done about this, whether that's an automatic four points for us, or something else.

    He has already arranged for a "stacked vote" on the issue.

    • 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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
