No he wasn’t at the club this morning.

The 7 report stated he was at the club this morning and the club insists he came into contact with only a few players and officials.

Yes that’s what I heard 

couldn’t be bothered arguing the point with Satyr

The crux is whether Ess got the result last night or this morning 

i have heard different reports 

Because you were wrong, this is from AFL website Fake News?

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

What is a "low grade positive"?

You can't be half pregnant. What is the difference with the WuFlu?

The test is complex. The swab is put in a machine that grows the virus to a level and then detects it. In the early stages of infection the virus load can be low and barely detectable.That is why the repeat this morning and it tested positive indicating an increase in his viral load. Suggests he got it recently. It is standard if you get an unexpected result you repeat it to see if the results are reproducible.

Also note he is in the incubation period and asymptomatic. He trained Friday and vision on the news show him, tackling, contact drills and even having a spit and they may not have had the results back till AFTER he trained. He was at the club this am for repeat test and looks like they sped up the test turn around time and got a pos result. Then the fun began

It's not point scoring, pointing out facts, I know Demonland is not heavily reliant on facts

Who needs to point score against anybody on this forum

Fish barrel,  two words that spring to mind

Just curious to what people think the fine will be that Essendon get for bringing the game into disrepute?

There’s no point Cards it would be easier to hit ur head against a brick wall all with nails sticking out of it and less painful. 

You've been here before though, haven't you JakovichScissorKick?

Edit:  He deleted that post but the clown is back posting as TheKozzieExperience.

I just can’t believe this involves us... but then again... of course I can!

I've just seen that footage. Certainly worse than I had imagined, given he was in the middle of a drill and then returned to it without appearing to clean/wash his hands.

I don't know what we or other clubs are doing but of course, every time someone gets tackled I'm sure they release plenty of spit from their mouths, so the risk of that sort of thing happening is going to be inherent in any AFL match.

Yes. Imagine if your local Barista did that and carried on with their job. Remembering these are professional footballers and coaches.

Any chance future seasons can also go ahead without them... ?

We can only hope. 

 Surely we should be given the 4 points. 

 Why should we be penalised later in the season with shorter breaks between games. 

 If the game is rescheduled later in the season you can bet they will fair better schedule wise than we do.

Agreed, plus all that lovely percentage we would have had from thrashing them.

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

Wish they would televise that.

As I understand it, it takes time for a (the) virus to infect a host sufficiently to show up in a test, therefore the quarantine.  

You don't cough on someone and they are instantly positive; it's got to infect the host, grow in the host and then spread to the throat, lung, nasal regions to be able to be captured on a swab.

That's correct. As I'm lead to believe. The bombers (everyone) will be tested Tuesday. If they all are clear then they will play next week. If one or more people are positive then the [censored] hits the fan.

If McKenna trained with a low grade positive, surely they have breached protocol and have to Forfeit this and any future rounds missed?

never heard of this "low grade positive" stuff before

is it like being part pregnant?

afl spin?

 

It will all be sorted soon enough, Bombets will have Stephen Dank working on a vaccine

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.

  • 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.
