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??

How Melbourne is it that on the cusp of a great season COVID returns to ruin everything.

Someone has to say it, then: We are Premiers


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.

Not to mention every single BBQ store in the Greater Sydney area.

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.

Wife and I found that hilarious. Bloke was gagging for a new barbie.

Or else has plans to rob a barbie shop.

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. ?

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.

  • 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

    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.
