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

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

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

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.

Was this ever a realistic possibility?

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

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

Cynically because Saad is a best 22 player and James Stewart is not.

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

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
