AFL player tests positive to COVID-19

The season has been thrown into disarray after the worst fears were realised.

Season has to be suspended given the Bombers played Sydney who have now played North and shared a plane with North, so potentially three clubs exposed and possibly four and five given North played GWS after sharing a plane with McKenna and GWS played the Dogs last night.

No other option to suspend all because of one Essendon player that has gotten himself infected.

Potentially throw in the umpires that umpired either game in Sydney last week and shared a plane back to Melbourne and then umpire(d) other games this weekend.

What a bloody mess!

mckenna didn’t play last week

 

[trikster]

Ess v Mel postponed, all other games going ahead this weekend. No other players are positive after re-test, will continue to be tested during the week. Presser still going.

 

[Section 5]

According to ABC news he tested negative on Wednesday but positive today
You would think they do another test just to make sure of today's result.
Their have been reports of faulty test in other cases

 

[MacMum]

He was negative the other day, tested and an irregularity showed yesterday, tested again and a positive today.

Just me having an old timers moment or is the new AFL website design horrible to navigate for everyone?

It’s bad.

 

[martinson]

It’s bad.

Hopeless

 

[FLVanLandingham]

I do like the match videos and how they are arranged/grouped together, makes it easier to focus on a specific match. Navigation isn't all that bad when just utilizing the top menu bar, but visually it annoys the hell out of me.

Yes, they successfully made it massively more obnoxious over the offseason.

I'm pretty sure it's in the brief that each AFL website re-design has to be worse than the one before it.

In fairness that's the core of Telstra's web development methodology.

 

[Jivlain]

For anyone else interested and with WatchAFL, it now has a section called "50 the 50" which contains full replays of old games. The selection includes the Miracle on Grass and also Fitroy's 1986 elimination final.

Furthermore to the above, I appreciate Reeves' knickerbockers.

Watched 'The Australian Dream' this afternoon, and I must admit it got my eyes watering a little. Amazing watch and highly recommend it.

Changed my perception of the entire situation surrounding Goodes being booed.

Sad to see leopards don't change their spots though; Sam Newman, Andrew Bolt and to a lesser extent eddie mcguire provided opposition on Goode's viewpoints throughout the doco. Which actually only rammed home what Goodes was up against.

I don’t care for a lot of those commentators you mentioned and not do I boo at the footy, but my reasons and I suspect a lot people’s reasons for disliking Goodes has nothing to do with the colour of his skin. His general behaviour on field and constant staging and antics were the reason why in much the same way people dislike Dangerfield or Judd or Liberatore and Romero or even a Rhys-Jones before that.

I find it insulting that anyone disliking Goodes is automatically a racist particularly when those same people revel in delight at the likes of Eddie Betts and love how he carries himself on field.

People are allowed to dislike Goodes without that making them a racist.

However, it is a fact that Goodes was subjected to abhorrent racism. Not everyone who booed Goodes did so for racist reasons. However, all those who were booing him were doing so along with very large group of racists and were OK with doing so.
