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

[Coaster2012]

Youvr actually got to feel for McKenna. Got to be a pretty heavy feeling right now knowing you may have just suspended the season.

 

[RUNVS]

Hopefully the AFL just postpone the Essendon vs Melbourne game.

 

[Holden Hillbilly]

Ban the filthy infected Victorian teams and let the other 8 play off for finals.

 

[kaiserchief13]

Time for Vic clubs to have their entire pay docked or move to a hub in wa and sa

 

[philthy05]

To be fair the AFL has already lost a shitload of money, I doubt all the Victorian clubs playing outside of Victoria would ever have been practical given the costs.

immensely less costly than calling off the season now.

 

[HaroLad]

Why do people genuinely think the season will be cancelled?

Do you really think the AFL will just give up after a single player tests positive in round 3, pouring tens of millions of dollars down the drain?

 

[kranky al]

Goes back to the question. What was wrong with WA and SA being the hub. We have our sh*t together... no crowds so you don't need to play in a giant empty stadium. Plenty or good WAFL and SANFL grounds aswell as Optus and Adelaide oval.

Oh noes what a surprise - australias covid manufacturing state has a player test positive to covid....

If ONLY someone could have predicted this incredibly easy to predict thing to have happened.

if only the vfl was the afl and f}{^%* well acted like it and moved the comp to the safest state in the country


All you halfwits one eyed vic-dicks who posted shit like iTs tOo eXpeNsiVe To moVe aRe vicToriAn teams - are you finally catching on?

The leagues total vic-centricness looks to have bitten them on the arse. The afl doesnt deserve the name.

F#^#** USELESS

Players probably figured dying from infectious disease>Having to live in either SA or WA

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Bloody Essendon! If they've ruined the season again then they should kick them out of the league!

 

[footy75]

Essendon players testing positive. Theres a shock.

 

[Wosh]

Just on SEN
Connor was training yesterday blowing his nose, spitting on the ground, hugging teams mates and assistants.
Oh dear

 

[PP34]

Vic had a big spike over night. Looks like its spreading there. And the Vic media had fun ripping into McGowan. Lol. The only sane headed leader in this mess.

Or maybe a state with a much bigger population is always going to struggle to keep a highly contagious virus under control?

There’s a thought.

The corona dick measuring contest is a joke.

 

[JimmyBC]

Weren't the AFL expecting this maybe the case at some point?. I'm sure they had a plan for it?

Yea you would think so but you know..

Because Vic clubs didn't want to move.

Considering Sydney played Essendon less than a week ago and GWS were on a flight with Sydney yesterday-- pretty sure it would rule them both out too.

Queensland Hub is the only teams left.

You do realise they could have had hotels for 30c on the dollar.

and thst it would have been offset by no flights.

 

[1990crow]

Victorian pig heads deserve this for thinking they were above hubs.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Hopefully the AFL just postpone the Essendon vs Melbourne game.

Just award 2 points to each if that's the case

 

[Sheepey]

If he violated restrictions then I have no sympathy at all. We will wait and see

 

[Dez!]

Good win Dees.

Sir this is a Wendys.

 

[Gak Attack]

Don't see why you would need to. Plenty of other leagues in the world still going despite positive tests.

 

[DieSwans]

Hopefully shut this joke of a season down...fingers crossed.

 

[BuffDog]

Hearing WADA would have come over the top even if McKenna tested negative

 

[Dez!]

Actually give Melbourne 4 points, your player is the infected party.
