Our games will be postponed and we will be playing catch up. The AFL are prepared for it in their contingency plan as they are expecting more to test positive
Might be time for Victoria to get its shit together.
Agree.
The AFL knew that this was a huge chance of happening and aren’t going to halt the league every time a player tests positive
Essendon ignored the AFL advice of not putting all one area of the field in the same group of 8, I think his group of 8 will be declared close contatcts, it includes, Hurley, Saad, Hooker, Redman, Ridley. So they will be out for this week and they will be expected to field a team, Carlton benefit again from Essendon testing positive.
Apparently McKenna went to an open house inspection last weekend so should get a suspension on top of his 14 days isolation, wouldnt surprise if its a very lengthy suspension. Might just put him over the edge and send him back home for good[/quote]I think he will cop a lengthy suspension. Players are allowed to go to open inspections in Victoria if they are purchasing a house but it’s a grey area in regards to a rental.
With the virus rates in Melbourne there will be more players test positive soon. The Vic clubs should’ve been sent to SA or WA from the start
