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.

Fair point.

    WEDNESDAY JUNE 17

    Tested for COVID-19.

    FRIDAY JUNE 18 (MORNING)

    Returns a negative result and completes main contact training with teammates. It was his fifth negative test since returning from Ireland.

    FRIDAY JUNE 18 (AFTERNOON)

    Tested for COVID-19.

    SATURDAY JUNE 19 (MORNING)

    No more than 20 minutes after arriving at the club McKenna is told his Friday test returned a low grade irregularity. As a result, he is tested again and told not to train.

    SATURDAY JUNE 19 (AFTERNOON)

    Essendon and the AFL are informed of McKenna’s positive COVID-19 result. He had shown no symptoms.

    Had been out of the hotel for 18 days when he tested positive. Had 5 negative results inbetween. So, no.

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

    Wish they would televise that. 
     

     

    What are the odds HB and Tracc have a collision and both do knees?

    Well this sucks.

    Glad the club was quick and secured an intra-club at the G, the more we play/practice there the better.

    No more injury reports then?

    The game could be deferred until post season and would only be played if relevant to finals

    (That would be our luck...)

    WHEN WILL ESSENDON PLAY AGAINST MELBOURNE THIS YEAR?

    Although there is no official word from the AFL, the two teams can’t play this week for the reasons outlined above.

    But with shortened quarters, there is every possibility the Dons and Dees will meet mid-week or even after the home and away season and before finals.

    thank you. I was about to post a timeline asking what and when and ask if anyone could actually fill in the blanks.

    Yeah and he/you wasn't that far off. He was at the club Saturday morning.

    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???

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

    He didn't train at the club today, he went there for further tests. By the way have you reached the full deck yet?

    WTF  has that got to do with what I posted?

    Looking at that timeline the only question I'd have about Essendon's actions would be what did they tell him to do on Saturday beyond not training when the result came back .  Eg. did he go home to a house shared with other teammates etc? 

    More generally, I'd think it would be wise to ensure no one comes to training until the result of their last test comes back.   That would only require scheduling training and tests suitably (assuming tests results take a predictable time to be returned, as seems reasonable). And it would avoid what happened in those 20 minute son Sat morning.

    No, he went there to train, but was stopped when the Friday test result came back.  He was then given a test.  So he would have come into contact with Essendon people, even if he left before actually training.  As I said above, they should schedule training after all test results have come back so they can call people and tell them not to come in.

    He could of had the virus days before testing positive, you can have it and test negative. The snowball effect from this is massive.

    My post was in response to a poster or 2 who said he trained today, which he didn't.

    On the 12th of June a Sunshine Coast man tested positive in W.A. after his work insisted on him getting a new test, despite already having spent 14 days in quarantine. I don't think 14 days is enough. This virus is an unknown. It is constantly mutating in order to survive. I fear we are going to be stuck with it for a long time. 

    What a curse this virus is. As well as causing death and heartbreak, it has sucked out any joy of life. The football season is gone.?

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
