Don't know anything more than this tweet from Rohan Connolly. I'm certainly curious as to what he means by "huge logistical issues". For the competition? For the AFL? For the MCG?

Very sketchy rumours going around it's something to do with senior coaches or along those lines.

    Maybe one of the umpires has tested positive?

    (So many jokes...positive to stupidity? Covid is believed to have transferred to humans from animals. Can it also be transferred from humans to white maggots?)

    That didn't age well.

    Remarkable that no other players caught it

     

    As Voss tested + on Friday morning how is it that all those in the coaches box on Thursday night aren't in iso as close contacts?

    Depends on the definitions of close contacts. Did they spend more than 4 hours in an enclosed space. Probably. Moot point though from April 1. No isolating as close contact unless you develop symptoms.

    Who are the top up coaches? Neeld? Malthouse?

    Thanks, I didn't realise it was 4 hours.

    I'm glad the whole coaching panel isn't affected.  Would hope the season is as even as possible and wins are are achieved on merit rather than covid rules, this year.

    In SA the definition is 15 minutes which makes life interesting.

    In the event that Goodwin got Covid, who do you think would be given match-day duties? Are there any restrictions - could Richardson for example take over, and let Yze concentrate on his current role? And who would you want it to be?

    Yze I believe is the main channel of communication in the box between himself and Goodwin on the bench. So I would say Yze. 
    It’s quite good that Goody coaches from the bench. It means less chance of the other coaches passing it to him as they’re in the box.

    That's a good point. It also lowers the risk for Goodwin because he's outdoors.

    the WA teams could really mess things up (for themselves 😂)

     

    We may end up starting the season with most teams having 70-80% of players having caught and recovered from Covid, but they may have zero, they are the two clubs at most risk of being unable to field a team over a 2-3 week period 

    Just call me Nostradamus (well for a WC perspective)!

    Poor old West Coast, me heart bleeds

    Maybe they should have waited until Darling was double vaxxed before letting him train?  lol

    As I said earlier in the thread, WA teams will suffer more from Covid than anyone else because Covid is so new up there and now everyone is catching it.

    There is one person to blame here and that is their Premier. Regardless of which party he’s with had he opened earlier their footy teams wouldn’t be suffering.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
