News Conor McKenna tests positive for COVID-19 - Wait, what?

Carlton must front up or forfeit

Gerard trying to get Essendon v Melbourne moved to tomorrow night but Sam Edmund reported to him the AFL and Melbourne certainly won’t be doing that as Melbourne’s focus is now on Geelong.

Was very interesting listening to Gerard’s meltdown, and although I agree with him I swear he almost cried not getting his way.

He says the easiest decision is to play it tomorrow night....really? So Dees focused on Cats yesterday, now have to switch to Ess tomorrow night? Piss off.

And this my friends is why Victoria is full of cases right now.....

Parts of victoria would be as 'clean' as anywhere in the world

Actually this could be somewhat ground breaking. Assuming the original positive result remains, allowing so many individuals who have obviously been very close but didn't meet the "15 minute" rule to now continue to interact closely with others is an interesting experiment. Obviously we hope no-one else goes on to be infected but we need the odd trial to aid future decisions/actions and it's not like EFC players aren't used to being experimented on!
Not sure how I'd feel as an opposition player though!

Gerard is a dog with a bone. Hes morphing into KB mk2. then hell take his meds and do a 180 tomorrow

Why didn't Conor tackle ****ing david zaharakis instead

 

[Gaben]

Close contact is prolonged indoor exposure or 15 minutes face to face.

If you've got an issue with the decision, it sits firmly with DHHS/DoH.

Why do we have social distancing rules if we know the exact amount of time it takes before the virus transfers? Should just have mandated 14 minute full contact sessions, then break and restart the timer again

McKenna and Stewart are the only ones who have 5G phones

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Tom with the sober, accurate take as usual.

 

[ItsAllAboutMe]

This seems quite ridiculous based on the little vision available that only 1 player from the group is at risk and needs to isolate..

Other teams don't even realise their players have covid

Would invite them to the hangar to witness and learn from our meticulous processes, but I don’t want our blokes to catch it.

Don’t want the hear about communities needing to go into lock down again.

Yeah the AFL agree with you but it seems many in the public don’t. He cried that the AFL isn’t flexible and that Melbourne and Essendon have already prepared for each other.

The other point the AFL had was Essendon haven’t trained since Saturday.

 

[TheFourPillars]

Metaphorically speaking

 

[Andrew Mc]

Another balls up from DHHS. And they wonder why people are out and about, breaking the rules extensively.

 

[RAPPA]

Officer Gill at work with this one

 

[citizen-erased]

Why didn't Conor tackle ******* david zaharakis instead

Assuming he touched the leather?

 

[Geoffa32]

Only had contact with one player, despite vision of him in a training session.

Laughable.

Many Essendon haters you mean. Being virtually quarantined since Saturday is a big thing I’d say.

My oh my James Stewart, you’re looking more olive skinned than usual

No, Stewart was McKenna’s regular wrestling partner...good compliance by Essendon. Get your facts right people

 

[Bunk Moreland]

If you can organise a camera to follow your every move (along with the other 20-odd million people) then yeah, can probably avoid lockdown.

 

[Sonny Hayes]

This isn’t to do with the AFL, it’s all on the joke that is the DHHS. Hopefully we get lucky and no one else contracts it and we get a full season.
