This is only the case for close contacts.

Which longmire and his merry band of assistants are not

From the fox article linked above:

NSW Health has declared that anyone who visited the Azure Cafe during that time frame is a casual contact, meaning they must get tested and self-isolate until receiving a negative result.

    I might have missed something but wasn’t it our choice to travel the same day to Tassie or were we forced to do this?

    On a slightly related note, did anyone catch Gawn mentioning same day travel on the podcast?

    Gawny mentioned how same day travel for early arvo games doesn't work too well for a lot of players like himself. As he mentioned getting up at 3am to travel to the airport must mean a pretty early flight but sounds like it definitely had an impact on the players energy. It was pretty clear in that first quarter. Obviously due to covid it sounds like its necessary but hopefully something that doesn't happen as often in the future. Hate to see games impacted by things like same day/morning travel with players tired from early starts/planes.

    Anyway this is a night game so I image less of an impact.

     

    Same day travel is ludicrous for a professional sports organisation.  I've travelled alot through my work and nowadays wouldn't even consider travelling on the same day as an important meeting or client engagement. Both the early start and sitting in an aeroplane without fresh air is taxing on the body.

    Its disgraceful that the game was played in Tasmania if the teams were forced to travel on the same day as part of the conditions of the game going ahead there.   That stupidity should have been called out and the game moved to Etihad.

    Casey v Swans postponed which is not great for our guys pushing for selection. Can't see why Swans 1st. Team have can go ahead but reserves can't

    Damn that’s really tough on the likes of Weid who are trying to smash the door down. I’d like to see the club make Sam and emergency in that case to make it clear that he is on the cusp.

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

    That was a play on words Trigon... SWAN St... Sydney....

    Didn't work by the looks of it ?

    Yeah, this'll be interesting. You'd imagine this would have to impact the players. Possibly in a good way, but far more likely in a negative way. Limited line coaches.

    I wonder how many staff travel interstate. Do medical staff and water people tend to travel or are locals employed?

    Domainfax is reporting Longmire usually coaches from the benches with the assistants providing feedback from on high.

    Whilst I am happy with any advantage, if we beat them, people are going to say "oh jeez the Dees only won as three of Sydney's assistants weren't there which hamstrung THE LEAD COACH [emphasis mine for sarc]". Then again, as my new favourite book says, "zero fks given".

    I doubt the 3 assistants not being at the ground will make much difference. 

    They will get all the usual vision and instant stats on whatever digital device they use, as if they were in the box.  They will relay/talk with Longmire, as if they were in the box.  The only difference is personally addressing players and lines at the breaks.  As someone else mentioned addresses in the rooms can be done by zoom.  Not ideal.  Just a hiccup I suggest and they have 3 days to set up whatever is needed.

    If we win we win on our merits.

    Same! I’ve already packed my lil bag: sangas, hand-warmers, ponchos, a contract to put out on Buddy Franklin’s head. You know, the usual. 
    The contract has yet to be signed but I’m sure I’ll have no trouble finding a willing signatory at the ground. (Please form an orderly queue.) ?

    Yeah, I won't care. Richmond had all the luck going their way in 2017 and didn't have an injury until 2018.

    I notice all the tipsters on the AFL website, except one, tipped us. So I don't think it will be used as an excuse.

    And if we lose the media will bang on about how it's Sydney's best win in their club's history as it was done against such adversity.

    Really need to take care of business here.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
