Because SA has already committed to opening up its borders. WA have no intent to open yet

Doesnt mean Marshall cant change and keep the Vics out?
Wouldnt it be a shame if all the Victorian teams had to leave Victoria for the rest of the season?

And SA and WA hub would work fine.

Looking very likely that McKenna plus 5 others will miss the Carlton and Collingwood games whilst in isolation.
Names announced tomorrow morning but sounds like it’s McKenna, Merrett, Saad, McGrath, Stringer and Stewart

They should be playing Melbourne before Carlton or Collingwood. Rolling fixture, no crowds, they could play Melbourne tonight and then Carlton on next Monday or Tuesday night.

Looks like only 2 Essendon players may miss this weeks game.

Odd, I'm sure McKenna blew a heap of snot out of both nostrils and then shared a footy with 8 blokes.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Odd decision. Looks like only James Stewart and McKenna to miss the next fortnight

Seems very odd. Maybe it was assessed by the same health officials that did the Ruby Princess. Seems a bit of a storm in a teacup now. Why can't Melbourne play Bombers tomorrow night .... live the agile and flexible the AFL preached.

Why couldn't they adjust the frixture to have the Melb v Ess game tonight or tomorrow night then, with further adjustments to their Round 4 games if required? I thought a rolling fixture was something the AFL said they were prepared to have this season if needed to cater for Covid?

Yeah, I’m sure the DHHS would put a pretty insignificant game between Essendon and Carlton ahead of the health of millions of Victorians not to mention the risk of other clubs catching it and the whole comp shutting down

So with Victoria basically in lockdown, surely the footy can't go ahead there this week? Send em all this way to play. Have a triple header in Adelaide on Saturday's and footy on other nights of the week. Wishful thinking I know but why is SA not even in the discussions? All I'm hearing is WA and NT.
So you've seen everything have you?
Yep
Have you ever seen a man eat his own head?
No
Well you haven't seen everything then have you.
