Ban Essendon for 14 days, move on and give us the 4 points 

Precisely. If players can be suspended for breaching Covid19 rules, then clubs have to go if they can’t produce a team clean of the virus.

    Apparently McKenna was in Ireland and did his 14 days in quarantine.  Only returned to training last week.

    Reports form China from the harbin outbreak saying that some cases of the virus is having a longer incubation Period, plus taking longer to clear from system.

    I think they’ll reschedule the match. Perhaps to a later date or have a 3-games in 2 weeks scenario.  Thursday night to Tuesday night to Sunday night fixture.  Stay tuned.

    Considering he went into isolation for 14 days and has now tested positive....

    Apparently he tested +ve earlier in the week but was a-symptomatic and continued to train to even early this morning, where a second test revealed another +ve test.

    Not across the protocols with everything covid related, but if the system allows for training after a positive test to continue, that is amazingly ignorant by either the AFL or EFC.

    So he tested positive...to a club test.

    ...if that's true and was allowed to train.

    Then he and the club ge banned from the rest of the season.

    We should get the 4 points..  what is worse is building match fitness which other clubs can and we can;t.  You can’t train for the intensity of games during the week.  Even a intra-club match is not the same.

     14 days was a numebr plucked out of the air to a large extent.

    If they only postpone the game. Come later on in the season, you get a few injuries that aren't major, could you deliberately infect a player so that you get an extra two weeks for your players to recover? An extreme measure but it could be done!

    The borders were closed I thought.

    He's not in an essential industry.

    Is he an Australian citizen or did the bombers pull in a favour.

    Well a lot of what goes on in the AFL is arguably criminal from a supporters point of view, but this would land someone in jail.

    Lot's of journalist have thrown around the term closed borders, but international flights have never stopped. People returning from overseas need to do 2 weeks of hotel quarantine.

    Hear hear Rjay.  Should be a 21 day quarantine for sporting teams.  So much to lose if it gets loose.  More importantly, this is really gonna stuff my whole weekend!

    • 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.
