COVID-19 / Coronavirus

[Strapping Young Lad]

Surely he didn’t receive a positive test result and then go out and train. That sounds absurd.

Don’t worry, it’s Essendon. It will be someone else’s fault.

Poor governance?

 

[Gralin]

‘who’d have thought the federal govts initiative would cause an outbreak?

Better than the alternative of letting them just go home.
We've seen how badly that has worked.

We almost need to quarantine positive cases in hotels as well. That would stop the family spread.

 

[Gralin]

AFL couldn't even get through two weeks of the restart.

Essendon supporters to protest outside State Parliament. Another stitch up from the AFL. *s*******

but the usual stuff ups from the feds. Not Duttons fault of course

people should be allowed to pay for their own superior arrangements, which are required to meet federal standards (as bad as they are)

suspend him for weeks if he did that

[In2theWild]

..... And that's us done.
See you again AFL in 2021... hopefully?
Victoria WTF is going on with our state?

 

[Mississippi]

Well if you had to guess which would be the first club to come down with a positive COVID19 test, if would have to be Essendon wouldn’t it?

I’m sure there’ll be an outrage amongst Essendon supporters and officials - they’re being unfairly targeted and maligned.
Surely an AFL set up!!

Just as a precauction there’s a truckload of Hydroxychloroquine on its way to the club.

Offsite disinfectant injections at the ready!

 

[Kanga Commando]

Drug soaked and now diseased..

 

[Pessimistic]

They’d be quarantined for 2 weeks from today surely if they all trained together

That's how people like Kerry Stokes are allowed to isolate at home with their staff and no oversight.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Essendon deleted their tweet, so I guess Jericho was right. It didn't age well.

 

[Brishawk]

Tweet has been deleted. What did it say?

 

[TylerDurden]

Offsite disinfectant injections at the ready!

Tweet has been deleted. What did it say?

“Welcome back McKenna . Now we are set for this week!” Or something similar.

Typical Dopers scrubbing the evidence.

 

[Iceman!]

 

[Bumps"N"Grins]

So brave.

You win the gig

 

[Hawk Dork]

#StandByMcKenna well at least 1.5 metres away

 

[WWSD]

Essendon are a stain on the competition.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Apparently Hird was shocked when he heard about it.

 

[Gralin]

While we can all have a laugh about it being the Bombers right now this could spiral very quickly.

What happens if they can't play for 2+ weeks?

What happens when someone at another club gets it. How long can they keep postponing games for before they call it off again.

 

[Dave Id]

Meh.

Just have the Scum forfeit their next few engagements.

Simple.

Danks a lot scum. Knew the AFL should have killed your pitiful team off the face of the earth
