Yep, approx 3-4 months immunity after you catch Covid ….. so better to catch nowSurely it's a plus if our potential SC team members get Omicron early as they/we will all get it anyway? They'll soon recover and will have natural immunity. For fit young players the long term health risk from Omicron seems less than that of the booster, which doesn't stop Omicron anyway.
Hopefully the season won't be seriously impacted. I'm more worried if the AFL toughen up the concussion protocols. That would be a game changer!
Apparently they're still not too sure about the natural immunity with omicron, how strong it is, length of immunity etc. so I honestly don't think it will be a thing for us this season.Yep, approx 3-4 months immunity after you catch Covid ….. so better to catch now
We’re 3 months away from season start though….. a lot of water to go under the bridge ….. frankly i’m not worried about the season being too heavily impacted

I'm not so sure about that. Covid has been shown to have a significant impact on aerobic capacity for 1-2 months after infection.
In other words, any player catching it now is going to have a poor pre-season which is likely to have a negative impact on their performance.
Adelaide Footy Manager was speaking the other day, he was talking casually that the 20% of Crows squad that are in isolation would not have their PS's disrupted ....and would miss no more than 2 weeksI'm not so sure about that.

You get used to these oxymoron answers as an ADEL supporter ....we find it best to simply shrug your shoulders & move onWait I'm confused by that one... are they not having their pre-seasons disrupted or are they missing 2 weeks?

I suppose my concern is not how many weeks they will miss, but what condition they will be in when they do resume training. Will they be 100%? 90%? 80%? I just feel like having reduced aerobic capacity could be a bad thing when it comes to high intensity fitness training.
I also don't really agree with people saying "everyone is going to catch it". I think a significant portion of players won't catch it, or will avoid catching it until at least after the season is over. Those are the players I would prefer to have. Though obviously... kinda hard to pick who those might be.
Finally, the idea of "it's better to have them catch it earlier than later" I feel doesn't really work because people can catch it multiple times. A player who gets it early can still just as easily get it later on during the season as well. It's not like it's just out of the way and they can never catch it again.
Yeah, I can confirm first hand it messes with your aerobic capacity. Recently had a stint with this and trying to get back into running has been painful, I’m a fair way off where I was.I'm not so sure about that.

Yeah, but that's not fair on us chaff.The way one deals with carnage separates the wheat from the chaff.
Unfortunately for you we’ve delisted Gleeson.I'm just going to pick a full team of nerd burgers who have no social life and no high profile social media who are going to stay indoors all year and not catch it.
Marty Gleeson can hold up my defence, while Ben Brown can be my focal point up forward. Perma captain on Cunners.
