    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.

    Is there a way to automate this comment so it’s automatically the second post on every thread? Will save a lot of time.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
