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. 

Might be considered a low risk site. Who knows. ?‍♀️

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 problem would be if Victoria declares Sydney a 'red zone' and anyone who has been there since  (insert a date) goes into quarantine if they come to Victoria. 

The AFL has been pretty good at negotiating exceptions with the Vic government eg allowing North back from WA.  So I don't think it is up to them.  The Vic government is the key.

This is only the case for close contacts.

Which longmire and his merry band of assistants are not

Can this thread kindly [censored] off.

Tom Browne reporting Sydney tested & negative. Expected to fly to Melbourne this Arvo.

So the Sydney supporters coming down surely they are made to have a test

Maybe Sydney supporters not allowed into the ground same as WC supporters were not allowed to attend Geelong game?

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.

God...what are the chances of that...?!!

I think we need to be on the safe side, best if Franklin Rampe and Heeney stay in Sydney this weekend. 

[Ruprect 15]

Media reporting that Swans might have to stay in Vic longer then planned..  Seems, the game on Sat proceeds as normal but Swans might be stuck in Vic after depending on what happens with the outbreak in NSW.

[dees189227 10,700]

Honestly I wouldn't bother bringing Franklin. Keep him fresh for the week after when they play Collingwood at home

He must have found what he was looking for though.... wasn't the last shop a butcher ?

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! 

Moore Park is where the SCG is located.

Hope he managed to get his BBQ at least. He made it to the Mascot BP for a gas bottle and the Bondi meat shop afterwards, so I'm feeling pretty good for him.

Best get some covid test kits, they come in packs of 24, although packs of 6 are available. They work best at low temperatures so keep refrigerated for best results. Take a couple and let me know if you can taste the contents. Best not to test too many in a single sitting as the tests all seem to come back as false positives.

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

I dare say this might affect the Cats also as the contact was before their game

Supporters won’t be allowed to come I’d say

The Lions Freo game is not the same.

Here we have a person out and about for a few days across Eastern Sydney with what is reported as being a high viral load.

Not everyone uses the Service NSW QR system, so there may be a few not traceable.

None of that is paranoia, it's a statement of fact.

Given the incubation period we don't know what the risk is of Sydney players or support staff potentially being caught out.

This next comment is not directed at you so please don't take it like that: it's probably best we don't shoot from the hip regarding the risk around this in relation to the epidemiology. It's obvious some commenters (and this doesn't just relate to DL) view all of this as paranoia and overkill, but it's worth remembering things can get out of hand very quickly.

And traces were found in the sewage in Sydney’s Inner West (where I live)... I imagine a few Swans players may also live in the area.

2. Covid goes crazy. 
3. 2021 season abandoned ...

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. ?

I beat you to it, Rab (11.40am) but you provide the solid precedence!

And we all know how much regard the AFL takes of precedence...

p.s. You're all wearing out my 'Haha' finger - from adversity, great humour?
