Wouldn’t the logical solution be that every team has a bye round between now and the end of H&A games?

The logical solution is that in light of Essendon’s inability to field a team in conformity with the AFL’s rules, the 4 points go to the MFC and we move on.

So the next 1-5 opponents of Essendrug will play a massively depleted side, but we will play them once everyone has returned, even though the incident happened before our game. 
 

Our next opponent should be Essendrug 

Work out the logistics AFL...

When we play Ess later in the season, if it is on short turnarounds before/after the game we are further disadvantages vs at least one of the other teams we play who will have a longer break.  So that potentially is 4 games in which we will be disadvantaged to finish higher up the ladder.

If that’s the case then why not play the reduced squad from Essendon v Melbourne on Wednesday night this week and move the Round 4 games involving Essendon and Melbourne to Tuesday night next week.

Unless the Vic Premier, an ardent Ess fan, makes a 'captain's call' claiming 'flexibility' and find a reason for them to not play on.

But that would mean virtually jettison the whole competition and given the covid situation in victoria I can't believe he would be that reckless - altho he did roll the dice with Cedar Meats and lost.  So who knows when it comes to his football club.

Would not want to be playing  TWSNBN, depleted side or not. How many more is going to stop this facade?

So the campaigner has admitted to breaching restrictions rules even after being warned.

 

Give us the 4 points and be done with it for ffs.

Maybe if the bombers players protest they can play?

Thats legal isnt it?

Absolutely 

if MFC players did the same after being warned i would say exactly the same thing

The MFC have been massively compromised because of his blatant disregard for SIMPLE RULES

Give us the 4 points.

 And boot Essendon out of the comp forever.

Seriously if this guy breached the rules and our club doesn’t go demanding the 4 points, I will be furious. 

If this happened to Collingwood Eddie would be screaming blue murder. Completely unfair!

Just projecting a theory ...if ESS does lose their back 7 players & plays their next 2 games  with a severely compromised team with the likelihood of 2 wins & massive % booster for their opponents  ...what does that mean for the MFC who have had their game postponed & then will possibly have to play later in the season off shorter breaks to very likely a full strength ESS team . If this happens then it is definitely a truly “compromised” season !

Carlton, Essendon's opponent next week, is the big winner in this scenario.

The corona virus testing is not black and white. There are false negatives. You can test negative and still have the virus.

NO Seriously?? Flawed if so!

Particularly since the MFC did the right thing and self reported players that breached the rules, without them testing positive.

It's being speculated that this bloke McKenna will receive a substantial suspension.  Well that had better be served after he tests negative to COVID 19, otherwise it would be a pretty pathetic faux penalty.  Seems like this guy didn't really care about playing footy that much in the first place, so I recon a more fitting penalty would be to apply the maximum finacial penalty possible.

Should be an immediate four points to Melb. 

I see this and, at first, thought it was silly... however, I'm kind of understanding where most are coming from now.  We've been totally short changed in all of this, and it has nothing to do with us.  We didn't break the rules.  We didn't force the game to be postponed.  And now, we're potentially going to have to play a game at a different time (during the week or after the main season altogether) and suffer because of it.

While my care factor for this season is the lowest it's been for any season I've experienced, I'd like to see something done about this, whether that's an automatic four points for us, or something else.

He has already arranged for a "stacked vote" on the issue.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
