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

[Hamingja]

There is always going to be a bit of mixed messaging & a little give/take with the Covid guidelines. But only quarantining one player after a full contact training session with a known case fails the sanity test spectacularly.

The AFL executive and VIC government.

Could be their very own Ruby Princess.

 

[HirdyLannister]

All of Victoria's new cases are false positive, Grand Final to stay at the MCG!!!

I demand the 4 points + percentage vs Melbourne for the inconvenience caused to the Essendon Football Club

 

[StevenwellerHFC]

As much as I enjoy disliking Essendon, I can't see this as anything but a positive for the AFL.

I hope all the idiots in here tearing strips off the poor bugger return to the corners you crawled out of, and resume sucking your thumbs.

he still breached the AFL isolation requirements, he's still an idiot.

He still broke AFL rules whether he is infected or not.

Glad to hear he is well.

 

[The King!]

yep if he breached requirements and or essendon did then theres still penalities/punishments to be had

 

[nylexbandit]

Essendon still on zero positive tests all time. Smashing it

 

[kaiserchief13]

What does this mean? What if he gets another test in 2 days and positive again

 

[JayJ20]

He'll have a test on Wednesday and another test on Friday. If they both come back negative, I think they'll assume it was a false positive. That would open up a whole can of worms regarding COVID tests.

He didn’t have it last Weds, he had it Fri and Sat, now he doesn’t have it.

He’s a super healer, we must be giving him the good stuff

Finally we know what thymosin is good for! Also exonerates the players, clearly Tb1 was the drug being used. What a day to be an Essendon supporter.

Agree.

AFL get the best outcome possible and fans are questioning it I don't get it we should all move on now.

 

[Call Me Cake]

He still broke AFL rules whether he is infected or not.



Glad to hear he is well.

WHAT?

No he didn't. There is no law against looking for a place to live if you're from overseas (duh) and he is allowed to visit family.

What about the two Melbourne players?! They weren't positives either but were actually SUSPENDED because of legit breaches but a Melb game wasn't cancelled and had their name and supporters dragged through the mud!

WHAT A FARCE! You cannot even admit when you messed up.

1 positive, 1 irregular and 6 negatives by my reckoning

 

[Unfazed]

AFL have cleared the open home visits and are expected to tick off the host family visit.

 

[DERO]

Better to be first than right eh Browney?

 

[Call Me Cake]

So many non-Essendon supporters in this thread were FOR Essendon suffering the ramifications of having to field a B-rate team and claimed that if it were their team - they would be for it as well.

Well the really shitty part is that it is still likely one of your teams will have a positive case... will you all STILL be for it?!

Let's hope none of us have to find out how the shoe fits on the other foot!

Which rule did he break precisely?

 

[Swerving Irv]

he still breached the AFL isolation requirements, he's still an idiot.

Which requirements would they be?

False positive.

Keep up, champ.

 

[luthor]

AFL have cleared the open home visits and are expected to tick off the host family visit.

Let's hope so

Common sense should prevail here.

The poor bugger has been named ,shamed and defamed and looks like he's the victim of a false positive anyway.

 

[Billy ray]

Test him three more times before Saturday- to be sure, to be sure, to be sure

 

[Elixuh]

The biggest loser out of this new development are the WCE fans who wanted the season abandoned after a 1 and 2 start.
