Hopefully we can play tomorrow, surely? 

I agree,  but seeing we played a full intra club game 2 days ago,  will we be reluctant to play?

it's not the best way to protect the staff nor the customer.   Masks surpass those screens, by acuntry mile.

He didn't say it was the best way. Just not useless like you posted.  Unfortunately hard to convince Australians to wear masks.

I don't think so - players would jump at playing and I think the club should too 

2 full days isn't great for recovery, but I think we'd all take it

Officially a farce.

James Stewart is a forward. Wasn't he training with the backline?

I think James Stewart hung out with him the longest hence he's out

The Age is reporting that:  "...the weights session shouldn't be an issue for players potentially contracting COVID-19. According to Essendon, all eight players were socially distanced, wiped gym equipment in between sets and were careful not to complete exercises that would require a teammate to spot them, such as weighted squats or the bench press".

Isn't the criteria for indoor 'close contact' being in the same room for 15 minutes?  Fair chance that any droplets could easily transfer from McKenna to other players or equipment.  And, he only needed to not clean one weight for it to spread to the other seven players in that weight room.

If McKenna broke the covid rules outside the club, what confidence is there he followed them inside the club as he has a history of ignoring club rules eg when he went to Ireland for a holiday last year and didn't tell the club. 

Seriously, how can Ess be believed after the drugs saga.  They have a history of lying and 'losing' evidence.  They will say anything to save their skins if they didn't follow protocols and if it means quarantining players.

Didn't think I could hate them anymore than I did, but I do.

My understanding LH is it's 15 minutes face to face contact or more (indoors/outdoors) and 2 hours or more in the same room with an infected person regardless of distance.  But i'm no expert

I initially misread, or, at least, misunderstood Ralph's tweet and somehow thought that every person in Australia was at risk of getting Covid-19 from McKenna, either directly or indirectly. Just goes to show how conditioned I've become during this time to subconsciously thinking the worst.

what a bloody joke!  so all the vision we have seen of him tackling his teammates and having his arm around them, no chance of transmission?

I don;t want the Dees to playing these ****wits until they are tested again in 4-5 days time.  dont want to risk our players


Typical Melbourne... We are now the most impacted club out of this situation all through the actions of an opposing player not following protocol

Edited by JV7

I hope the club tells everyone to stick it where the sun don’t shine if they ask us to play tomorrow night. Essendon pissant fans celebrating all this....Go Blues!!!

Sam Edmund reporting our match will not happen tomorrow night,  will be later in the year 


We should play tomorrow day in a game of four 15 minute quarters 

Why does this club continue to have such issues with its medical record keeping.

One could almost think it it something sinister. 
 

Still, the AFL say it is ok so it must be. 


I smell a rat, the training vision clearly shows McKenna tackle Saad.

Why is he not mentioned as being in contact with him???

 

Nine’s Peter Ryan reported Melbourne was told it should play an intra-club because it would not be forced to play midweek.

 

 

The game isn't being played tomorrow night coz the AFL know there is a chance Saad or Hurley etc could test positive in the next few days. 

there is no way the medics can guarantee otherwise

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
