I can't see it not being prolonged. There is no way they will know in a week if the lockdown has been effective. Even if the case numbers come down or level out. They will need to wait a week or maybe even 2 to make sure.

Any chance they'll go back to 16 minute quarters again particularly if we have a compressed fixture because of any further COVID disruptions? This is what the ladder would look like if the whole year had been 16 minute quarters. Well it probably wouldn't have turned out exactly like that but ....

Exactly. However I was under the impression that he perhaps caught it in HQ after his final test on day 13.

Disruption would more likely be mental than physical.

?

So only a little bit pregnant then. I hope the Dees have engaged a good QC to argue this case.

Part of the rehab group that was at training hence contact with other players and staff.

Rehab group still have contact with other players and staff who then in turn have contact with other players and staff. For this not to be an issue in regards to playing this match on Friday as scheduled it has to be a player who has zero contact with other players and staff or they all return a negative result. Having said that even returning a negative result might not be enough given that this virus sometimes doesn't show up till a few days later and presumably they've all be tested just today.

Just a reminder to try to keep personal politics out of this. There are other venues online to vent about that. Posters should be warned that posts like this may be removed without warning. Multiple violations may result in removable from this website. Also understand that mods don't catch all these posts so please just don't post if it's just to bitch about one side of politics or the other. Save your vitriol for Collingwood abuse.

It's reasonable to assume that given the comments from the journos it's likely a longer term injured player.

It's a fluid situation.
