What has that got to do with COVID protocols breach?

Should i ask why this thread has begun?

I presume we are talking about the fines handed out to Sydney and others for not complying with the AFL's protocols? 

 

The falsifying of COVID test results should have resulted in suspensions to the parties involved.

Although looking at the three clubs topping the list, it's not really surprising how they got away with a smack on the behind.

You are surely not suggesting corruption at AFL House?


"The AFL says penalties were given for breaches including not undertaking a rapid antigen test (RAT) within specified time periods, and uploading an image taken of a previous RAT undertaken by that person or someone else"

no suggestion that failed tests were covered up, quarantine rules breaches or anything that results in players playing that should not have played. Why would anyone be suggesting suspensions in these circumstances?

The world is now living with Covid. Let's just move on shall we.

Cmon man! Hardly on the same level and your statement about Rioli being drug free is ridiculous.

umm, if the RAT images uploaded were essentially fake (ie. previous images from old tests), how can you be so sure that failed tests weren't covered up?

can't be sure of anything. If a club decides to cover something up then requires a lot of digging to uncover - see Essendon drugs scandal

however they take the covid tests every day. not difficult to send in the previous days in error. Plus covid shows up on rats tests for a number of days so would require a major cover-up  as i've said. And needlessly exposes the rest of the list to covid.

btw the accuracy of rats tests is pretty sketchy. I've heard of plenty of people you passed the rats but failed the PCR. but thats another story

100% disagree with this comment from an Australian perspective.

Until the state governments remove the 1 week isolation period upon testing positive with COVID, Australia is most certainly not living with COVID.

Assuming you do the right thing by the general population and isolate, you could miss out on your own wedding, birthday or attending an MFC premiership live even if you're not particularly sick.

We have nowhere near moved on from COVID.

Sending in photos of old tests would be more to do with not wanting to shove a thing up your nose twice a week when you are feeling 100% healthy with no symptoms. You could call it Laziness. I personally know of people at the 2 different AFL at clubs not named who have done it. My kids are still getting sent home with Rats and I'm not making them test unless they feel ill or have kids in their class confirmed cases

No where near! staying in doors for a week if you test positive is hardly nowhere near. If you've covid you're probably sick and most likely not heading out anyways

We have vaccines, no more lock downs, we're free to move around, go to games, travel internationally etc. etc.

We've come along way from where we were

And how do the AFLK "Integrity Commission" 🤗 ascertain that the clubs involved did not gain advantage?

WCE must be spitting chips - their season was derailed by their compliance with the protocols.   We had a few players standing aside even though they may not have had covid, and this could have effected results.  Maybe we should have covered up and essentially made false declarations?

Yes RATS are pretty much hit and miss, but the fact is that the clubs signed on to the protocols and in some cases seem to have thumbed their noses fraudulently claiming compliance.

Do you want players suspended for not doing the test in time or sending in yesterday's rat test?

Yes. I wasn't allowed onto my work site without a valid RAT test. If that is what they were asked to do and they're not complying then why should they be any different?

They're professional athletes getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars a year for crying out loud. How hard is it to follow the rules that are set out in front of them.

Actions and consequences. It's pretty simple really.

  • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

    What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
