[rumply]

McKenna has tested positive.

 

[Gavin Excell]

Wow

 

[Senor M]

Sam McClure is tweeting that Connor McKenna from Essendon has tested positive to COVID-19.

Vic teams can sit the year out

 

[Rob]

Essendon....it had to be ******* essendon.

 

[Spacedog]

I’m shocked that Adelaide aren’t the team that ruins the season

 

[jpap]

Big deal. Quarantine his training group, play on.

Bad luck for Don's but game must go on.

Well that would affect Sydney, North Melbourne and Essendon because they may be required to self-isolate. Melbourne vs Essendon is probably not going to happen either

 

[Armitage2Riewoldt]

What's it mean?

 

[XhazzafootyX]

I’m sure (we’ll I’d hope) that would have a strategy in plan if a player or staff member tested positive to COVID-19. Interesting to see how this plans out

AFL to investigate whether McKenna breached COVID-19 protocols

The AFL is set to probe whether Essendon's Conor McKenna has breached the league's strict protocols for COVID-19 following his positive test to the virus.

Why did they not think to test him after he came back from a country which has had 25,368 confirmed cases?

 

[jesterx]

Well we got a few games in for 2020, see you next year lads

 

[projectv]

What's it mean?

We get a bye.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Can we just send Essendon to a leper colony and play with the other 17 teams?

Well that would affect Sydney, North Melbourne and Essendon because they are probably going to be required to self-isolate. Melbourne vs Essendon is probably not going to happen either

The chance of a Sydney or North player having it is extremely low considering Mckenna didn’t even play and presumably didn’t travel to Sydney

 

[AFL4ME]

Did he go back to Ireland?

 

[philohk]

And Daniel Andrews has announced delays to the relaxing of restrictions and possible rollbacks depending how things go.

 

[ep2018]

I'm guessing the comp suspends for two weeks at the end of tomorrow. Was bound to happen.

 

[97-98]

How long has he been back?

 

[projectv]

If this is true then the entire Melbourne football club should be very thankful. He was picked for this rounds game.

 

[Red Black and Blue]

Sucks for him. Was in quarantine for a month when he got back.

Essendon....it had to be ******* essendon.
