It’s been reported in Sydney that some of the coaches were at same cafe same day... hold onto your hats

They will be required to isolate until they return a negative result. They were there in the same time period according to the reports. Hat has blown completely away.......

    Block them off at Swan Street?

    You'd have to start doing that from the intersection at Church St onwards...otherwise you wouldn't have a prayer.

    Sydney Swans coach John Longmire and his assistants are awaiting the result of COVID-19 tests after visiting a Moore Park cafe on Monday in the same timeframe as a man who was infectious with the virus.

    It comes as players and staff from the Sydney Roosters were also sent for testing, putting this weekend’s AFL and NRL fixtures on a knife’s edge.

    When I was in a spot where someone tested positive back in feb I wasn't allowed to return to work until 14 days. I had to self isolate and get a test on day 1 and day 11. 

    This is just another curve ball thrown

    jesus, what are the odds of the swans coaches being at that exact same cafe on the same day?

    Covid can go [censored] itself. Actually it does self-replicate so it even has that covered!

    This is what I don't get; I hear this as a rule - perhaps only in some jurisdictions? -  but "...awaiting the results of COVID-19 tests..." in the Sydney coaches case implies they only need a negative test (and no isolation meanwhile??) for full steam ahead for Saturday! If your experience - as experienced by many others, evidently - were to apply, Saturday night was off the minute they walked into that cafe

    So I guess Longmire and his staff will be working from home on Saturday night??

    On the serious side, though, if the competition were to return to the horrors of last year, with hubbing, etc, by all accounts we would be one of the better adapters to it. Last year's hubbing seems to get a lot of credit for where the team is now as a bonded unit.

    Given the Roosters (NRL) were also in the same cafe, I'm sure our game will still go ahead fine. The NSW gov't and the NRL will do whatever they can to continue on as normal, so it'll look weak on the AFLs part if they don't go ahead as normal. Not saying I agree with any of that, but it's how it will play out.

    The Age reports that Longmire and Co only need to test negative and they'll be all good.

    If they had to self isolate for 14 days despite testing negative then our game wouldn't be going ahead I wouldn't think.

    When you next get cold and flu like symptoms remember to go to as many shops, bars, cafes, parks etc as you possibly can, particularly while you are most infectious.

    NSW has succesfully contained covid "outbreaks" without any lockdowns before and will again. If it happened here we would be in a state of meltdowns. Play the game as normal.

    Hopefully it's only a hypothetical, but would the AFL require the Swans to play if the players were OK to do so but the senior coach was not? I would have thought so...it's no different from the Senior Coach being ill as we saw with Clarkson a few years ago when Bolton took over.

    Brora Rangers who play in the Highland League in Scotland have just been awarded the league title on goal difference from my home town team Fraserburgh (grrrr) despite having played just three games of a thirty four game season. 

    Should covid derail the AFL season again then we should be afforded the same courtesy. ?

    John Longmire and some of his assistants have all received negative COVID-19 results after being tested.

     

    Good, game on.

    Shouldn’t they Still have to isolate for 14 days. Haven’t returned travelers tested negative on day 1 or 2 then positive later on. Some even on day 11. Protocols seem different for every situation.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
