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

[Bostonian]

Form a breakaway league and dont come back till we have a fresh start with a league that is only representing one state.

Do it then.

Imagine how crap it would be with no access to the NAB league players.

 

[11kgm]

Well a nice two week to 3 week bye

 

[Quokka]

You would think this.

Test all players and coaches and trainers now.
Plays on Monday.

Don't think they could rule people unaffected so quickly, takes a few days to a week to develop enough antibodies to be detected and very variable from case to case.

 

[kranky al]

Queensland surely win that.

I got nothing.

Prob why the comp never got off the ground...

 

[YippeeYiYeo]

Most cases are coming from return travelers, or clusters

3 cases came out of that protest

 

[11kgm]

What’s the go with Essendon vs Carlton next week? Yay or nay?

two week isolation so....

 

[Messenger]

Essendon players being tested again on Tuesday.

 

[JT_the_Man]

two week isolation so....

I don’t think they necessarily said that though?

If everyone else is negative, which they currently are, than I don’t see why it wouldn’t be out of the question.

 

[Tig017]

Didn't McKenna once bite Tory Dickson on the ear?

He's probably the type of idiot who spreads it far more than the average infectee. A genuine superspreader.

Essendon are done this season.

 

[Senor M]

Is that how you’re responding to facts that don’t fit your world view?

 

[Run n Spread]

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

So let's hear it. Come on no one from the Premier down has a plan. Except wing it and look like you're doing something

 

[Blue1980]

And our moronic state government are still allowing morons to demonstrate, completely ignoring all the rules set by our moronic state government. Yet our moronic government is more than happy to ruin people's lives and restrict businesses from being able to trade.

I love Melbourne but ffs, we easily have the worst Government and more morons than any other state

Didn’t all states have protests?

 

[gingernuts]

get tested self isolate until result is back.If this has not happened the AFL should be shot

 

[The Nostradamus]

Well a nice two week to 3 week bye

would just be 2

 

[blue harvest]

Marko will be lowkey loving this news

Why would he love it?

 

[PP34]

And he's running around hugging and spitting.

Clearly an idiot.

You’re kidding yourself if you don’t think every player is behaving in a similar way at training and behind closed doors.

I know multiple people at clubs and it’s pretty much business as usual behind closed doors.

 

[Pablito]

What’s the go with Essendon vs Carlton next week? Yay or nay?

Disqualify essendon for once again bringing the game into disrepute.

In the US, biggest new spikes are in states that opened up early, not states with the most protests.

Not keeping shut down >> protests.

On moto g(6) plus using BigFooty.com mobile app

The problem is Victoria has had the strictest lockdowns and still have.
5 days ago they had zero cases and everyone was acting like the China virus was gone.
Shopping centres are full, parks and roads are back to normal.

 

[JUSTWORK]

‘Out of control’
The hyperbole
25 new cases today. We’ve had near that a couple of times but clearly something was different enough about these cases to justify re rolling of restrictions. Far from out of control. That is what you see when you wait for 100 new cases in a day to act.

And how many have the rest of the country had since then ?

 

[JT_the_Man]

Disqualify essendon for once again bringing the game into disrepute.

Or give us the flag because we are undefeated?

 

[Snarls Barkley]

What’s the go with Essendon vs Carlton next week? Yay or nay?

My guess says nay but I think the AFL will release that fairly soon.

 

[kranky al]

Do it then.

Imagine how crap it would be with no access to the NAB league players.

Both leagues would suffer.

hopefully some common sense can come out of it and we have a new entity that runs this sport for all australians and not just one state.

 

[r32godzilla]

Geez what a shite year so far.

 

[Mazza1234678]

Shopping centres are full, parks and roads are back to normal.

I cant believe how busy the roads have been in melbourne last few days tbh

Absolutely chockers

He got tested yesterday, didn't attend training today. But obviously would have been carrying it at training yesterday.
