Preview Round 11- Changes vs the now defeated Demons

[Bro_Pro]

Soooooooooo let’s just have a bye this weekend as it seems unorganised!! AFL running out of time to make the call.

Poor Riley Garcia

 

[Doggies_13]

The concern with just having a bye this round is that it may lead to a number of weeks off depending on lockdowns and state closures etc. for example if all teams leave Victoria, they likely have to do 14 days quarantine where ever they end up and then your relying on state governments to allow them to train and play each other whilst in lockdown.

One option might be get all teams out of Victoria isolate them for 14 days, no game just training. Use every clubs bye this week, then take away the finals bye giving every club a second bye next week, then continue the season as usual interstate until Victoria is back under control.

Melbourne player was apparently at a tier 1 exposure site. That’s mandatory 14 day quarantine regardless of test result. He also attended training.

Woukd suggest game will not go ahead if true.

 

[ossie_21]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just bring the bye round forward, maybe postpone an extra week or two if needed and hopefully let this shit pass

No crowds and the games going ahead in Vic would be ridiculous

 

[Some Idiot]

I believe that all VIC clubs are going to NSW today for this round

Mandatory 14 day quarantine for Melbourne players if treated the same as normal civilians.

My understanding that the player who attended would have to get tested and quarantine for 14 days. His contacts (the rest of the team) would need to get tested and isolate until they receive a negative result. Happy to be wrong.

ABC reporting that all Dees players and staff have to return a negative test for the game to proceed.

Demon self-isolates for 14-days, with team awaiting a negative result

A Melbourne player is forced into a 14-day isolation as per the Victorian government's regulations, while the rest of team must self-isolate, sweating on a negative result before Friday night's blockbuster against Western Bulldogs.

Don’t see how our game against the Dees goes ahead now. Would have to be postponed.

Nope for the one player, the rest of the team are fine if they put out a negative test

Wait, no mandatory 14 days of quarantine? That seems incorrect. Everyone else needs to in the general public in the same situation. Possible to get negative test results back before game time tomorrow?

 

[Merlins Revenge]

So that player needs to quarantine for 14 days regardless? Would be super interesting if it’s a Gawn/Lever/May/Oliver. You would think Melbourne would move to postpone it then. Would be the only fair solution.

I mean we can’t postpone the game because we have Dunks out is it any different? We can’t put the whole season on hold for 14 days for one player

Bit more info here. Sounds like Dees are keen so unlikely a top tier player. Arguing he had minimal contact with other players or staff

Meh they are half an hour behind in SA

 

[Bro_Pro]

Meh they are half an hour behind in SA

More like half a century

 

[Mattdougie]

Bulldogs players have no info on any change to the game or any movement interstate

 

[dish licker]

They need a game for friday so are thinking of moving the crows v tigers to sydney and playing friday

 

[TommyD13]

This is a farce. Take a one week league wide bye and make the 3 week bye period 2 weeks with no byes. Only logical way around it at this stage I guess. Could even go 2 week league wide bye and no pre-finals bye if lockdown takes longer

censorship in communist Victoria ?

 

[Braybrook Son]

Guy on SEN just said it is a player coming back from injury and has minimal contact with players/others at the club. Still think it’s a massive risk to the whole league to go ahead!
