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.

Why was the player's name made public?  A person's medical conditions are private. 

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.

@Satyriconhome @Sir Why You Little

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


A 10 knot nor-easter and 2m swell will be sufficient for tomorrows fishing adventures.

All is good in the universe.

Green tins will provide the scaffolding I need to get over this.

Ok so information is evolving. 
i was told he did train Saturday morning and that his friday test was “touch & go”

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?

He’s an Essendon player. Cheat by definition. 

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.

Seems changing my avatar back to happy Garry Baker didn't have the positive impact I had hoped for.

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


All we can hope for from here is that everyone is safe and Essendon are removed from the league.

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

Missed the point us usual chuckles.

 

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 quarantineI 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.?

  • 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.
