    NO Seriously?? Flawed if so!

    False negatives are incredibly common over the first 3-4 days of infection. After this time the viral load builds up and the test becomes more reliable.

    Dies nit surprise me He has appeared as a bit if a loose cannon as a person and player 

    He is also homesick and not a great decision maker obviously.

    Deserves 3/4 weeks out.

    Sounds like the AFL will apply its MRP impact over act methodology in handing out a penalty, just because McKenna actually caught corona. It's worth keeping in mind for all those sounding off on here that two of our boys went to a house party - arguably far worse than what Conor did. And it's almost certain plenty of other players have breached the rules without being caught.

    Indeed

    he should get a 2-3 month suspension. Derailed a season single handedly

    Can someone please tell me why we don’t play a depleted Essendon next week, not Carlton?

    Good point Skuit. As frustrating as the match being postponed due to the EFC and McKenna's poor decision, it could have very easily been Kossi or Spargo contracting the Corona, noting our players likely don't live in the filthy western suburbs.

    If anything this is a good reminder to all of us to keep socially distancing and not take anything for granted.

    Which is exactly why the league needs to get fair dinkum about it. It has to be forfeit and 4 points to the opposition or there really is no penalty and players will continue to run the risk.

    Draw a line right now AFL. If a player breaks the rule and ends up testing positive it's a forfeit for any games over the next 14 days at a minimum, and continue to forfeit if any other players test positive within the 14 days, until the entire team hub is tested clean.

    The most important quote in that article is: 'has of course plunged the AFL season into peril again'

    Well, no, it hasn't. It's certainly plunged Essendon's season into peril, and no other club, or the competition, should be penalised in any way. Fine Essendon whatever revenue the AFL may have made from the match, and they forfeit until clean. Done.

    Clearly players are still running the risk, and the warnings from the league and clubs is not getting through. Let the players manage themselves. Can you imagine a players reception at a club where he's had the team forfeit games? It's the only way to stop it.

    And yes, 100% I'd say the same thing if either of our 2 boys that broke the rules tested positive.

  • Quote

    Ironic that the player that wants to play AFL the least out of all players and can’t wait to get out of the country once his contract expires is the first player to test positive.

    Easendon supporters ought to be seething with McKenna as they’ll likely lose their next 2 games without Hooker, Hurley and their other defenders.

    That's the thing we should play them next week, and push the Geelong game back a week

    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???

    My understanding is there is no such thing as a "low grade positive" test result.

    There are "low grade fevers" as a symptom of being infected with a virus etc.

    The low grade positive is most likely just Gil speak.

    Not sure how much "worse" any of those actions are.

    A factor going the other way is that his teammate (Zerk-Thatcher) had already been suspended and, surely, Essendon would have read the riot act to the entire playing group. After that, it's hard to believe another Essendon player broke the rules (I'd be similarly gobsmacked if another Melbourne player stuffs up).

    I agree with you that McKenna probably shouldn't be getting a bigger suspension than Zerk-Thatcher, Pickett or Spargo simply because he caught it and they didn't (unless he knew he had it but didn't comply with the rules, in which case season-long ban minimum, I say).

    Wow, popped over to bomber blitz.  Biggest crucifixion complex since Jesus.  They want to be let off everything, delist a McKenna, and move games so they play with a full squad.  They are still sore from being drug cheats, too.

    (I had to use hand sanitizer on my eyeballs after that....)

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
