I did a little Google and the 'indoor' seems to have been dropped, except for the 2 hour small room rule.

It's all very confusing. My daughter played netball on Saturday with a girl who subseuqently tested positive. It was a 45 minute game and they were not face to face, so that wouldn't qualify as a close contact I don't think. I mean, they were passing around a sweaty ball, but under the rules I don't think my daughter has to isolate.

Indoor or outdoor court?
Yeh doesnt need to isolate.
My daughter was deemed a close contact at daycare a few weeks ago. We didnt have to isolate and my daughter was allowed to attend daycare.
Somehow she and we dodged a bullet, for now.

You are a close contact if you had the following contact with a person who has tested positive for COVID-19 during their infectious period:
- You are a household member and/or intimate partner of the COVID-19 case.
- You have had 15 minutes of face-to-face contact with the case where both of you were not wearing masks.
- You have spent more than 2 hours in a small room (around the size of a classroom) with the case, where both of you were not wearing masks.

I wouldn't think so. 15 minutes face to face is basically sitting down and having a conversation with someone for 15 minutes straight.COVID-19 cases and contacts

i don't think playing AFL is considered face-to-face given you're constantly running on and off people.
Silly? Maybe. but the rules aren't trying to get to zero covid.
You all made fun of the zone and corralling, but Simmo was just anticipating close contact rules.

Guaranteed they’d be forced into isolation if a Covid positive player was involved in a match. Everyone in the coaches box would be too if Simpson was positive such as Voss in R1.
The rules can be a bit rubbery for the average family out in the community with so much of it around at the moment, but no way a high profile case like a positive player on field during an Eagles footy game slips through to the keeper
Some reasonable comments about Sundays farce in the article from Voss and Hardwick.

Voss questions AFL ‘top-up’ policy as Hardwick raises player loan plan
Michael Voss, Simon Goodwin and Damien Hardwick have had their say on the Eagles’ virus drama and whether the league’s replacement player policy is the best way to go.
It is def not face to face. Hockey seaso starts this weekend and I'm not going to be a close contact if someone on the field test positive. AFL would be the same.
I assume that pretty much all of our isolations have been from:
1. Household contact- kids got COVID, infected a parent and the other isolates. With Ryan and Kelly, it is likely they then contracted COVID after a few days of being a contact
2. Actually getting COVID (it's likely nearly all the guys without kids are in this boat unless they share with someone
Given the vagueness of those rules, the club can organise things so that players shouldn't have to isolate unless they are a household contact. If they are, then it's likely they will catch it anyway.
This is wrong. If one player forced the whole team into iso, them why didn't all of Carlton's team isolate? We knew about Barrass and Edwards within 48 hrs of our rnd 1 game - why didn't both teams isolate then?
The coaches fall into the 2hrs in an enclosed space (the box), so that makes sense.

Hardwick looking into how Richmond could lend us players if required.
Mrs Hardwick wouldn’t agree but he’s a decent bloke isn’t he?
Imagine they lent us Dusty haha
As I've mentioned before it is an obvious disadvantage to have to play off-listers but should one of them be okay then 'their' team (e.g. WCE) should get first dibs as some form of compensation.
And what if some unscrupulous coach chose a lot of solidly built off listers and told them "Be physical, really physical, do you understand what I'm saying? REALLY REALLY physical." And so the tribunal scrubs a whole lot of off listers but the team wins. Of course coaches would never bend the rules ...
Plus, I'd like a journo to directly ask Gil 'So if what happened to the Eagles (or worse) happens to one of the teams in the GF it's still game on?'

Apparently he is willing to swap some players for introductions to WCE sales reps next time the Tigers travel to Perth

Suspensions apply to the lower leagues too. Why would the Aaron Blacks of the world risk a lengthy suspension that would prevent them from going back and playing for West Perth?

Anyone think the back of this year's logo resembles a V? Truly VFL360?
Knowing how we are tracking, we’d request 2019 Dusty and get Tyrone Vickery.
