2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[Scorpus]

Connor McKenna apparently

Wonder if he got it returning from Ireland

 

[ABAB]

Rumours circulating that an Essendon player has tested positive to COVID. Gil to speak at 3:30.

Call off the season now, draft pick based on ladder position still stand right now and season has an asterisk against it.....technically we didn't finish last.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Wonder if he got it returning from Ireland

He's been back since May so I doubt it.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Just when it was looking like we had Pick #1 in the bag

There will be the first ever draft lottery and we'll get pick 18

Served 2 weeks iso, so more likely from being in Melbourne.

That 'we have to have the hub in Melbourne' decision is looking as stupid as it was when they made it

 

[Danger in Texas]

Melb vs Ess looking like it's off tomorrow, obviously

Wonder what this means for the overall future of the season

****ing bookmark it! It’s what I was talking about with a mate just last night!

But but Melbs. The home of football. The MCG. Yadda yadda yadda.

Treat the same way the Adelaide v Geelong game was treated when Walshy passed - Melbourne and Essendon get 2 points each and call it a draw.

Why should the rest of the league be punished because Victoria can't get it's shit together.

 

[hey shorty]

This is why the AFL guys are being told to stay at home at all times.

But once again Scoop throws the players name out, wonder if he's gonna drop how much Connor gets paid too.

 

[Samcro24]

Was always going to happen, they haven’t been able to contain it. Vic teams should have been sent to SA WA QLD hubs.

 

[Scorpus]

Will be interesting to hear what the AFL's plan is. They would have had a plan in place for this happening

They'll need to stop for 2/3 weeks, not sure it's quite the same.

I quite like "Howie" as a commentator

Cricket too

His podcast is good value as well

 

[Idontpullout]

McClure says it's Conor McKenna

Here we go...

How dare McClure disclose personal matters.
Or was that barrett.

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Prob test all related persons and club officials from Essendon and then Sydney etc... if no positive tests on we go..

 

[Scorpus]

Will be huge question marks over how McKenna got it.

I wonder if he'll be taken to the cleaners with a suspension

He's good when he doesn't try to be all funny and matey during the call, though that's probably a symptom of working for Triple M

You wouldn't know that for 2 weeks at the earliest though.

But but the chance of catching it are 1 in a million.

My guess is he will be isolated then the game held off for 2 days and then Gil will say no issues because no one has any symptoms.

He trained with the other players this morning, don't you have to do a 2 week quarantine if you've come into contact with an infected individual?

 

[BACCS]

This may also be a positive test long after his contagious period, think it’s better we just wait for official confirmation. Game tomorrow almost certainly suspended, but can’t see it changing other games going ahead.

Essendon might have to miss next week and play a catch-up game or 2.

Shouldn't stop the other games though.

Yes, just depends if he’s still contagious. Also, it would only be the players in his group that will have to self isolate, that’s the whole point of restricting training to small groups.
