Think the AFL are trying to work with the government to get the irish boys back. There is a bunch of them from different clubs still over there. Those that aren't residents.

I know an American student doctor who was recently let back. There were plenty of hoops to jump through but he got there. Don’t be surprised if the AFL manage to get their internationals back. They’re working directly with the federal government on this after all...

Medicalstaffare exceptions to the no entry policy. I hope you're right and we get him back in. I don't like his chances but then again I should give up trying to predict what the government will do. I'vegot no idea.

Yes, but born in March 1993
McKenna at Essendon is flying back this week sometime and will go into a two week quarantine. If he can do it, then I can't see why our boys would be prevented.

Mckenna has permanent residency, which enables entry, our boys don't. Our boys need to become exceptions to the current laws in order to enter.

I'm going.
I'll be up on top of the hill on the south east end punt rd side of the ground.
Long trip from the Mount Martha mansion. I guess it's probably easy going when you're sitting in the back of a Rolls Royce though.
Very keen to hear how the boys are looking after such a lay-off, they all would've handled this time away so differently.
Particularly curious to see how the "group" outside of our ~top 18 are looking, fitness and how they've managed themselves during this time away could play a big part in game time this year, and if you've come back a bit behind the pack you might face a bit of a challenge to break into the side.
Really keen to hear how Quaynor, Noble and Shaz are looking, the Brown Brothers and young Daicos and the two youngs bulls in Sier and Wills. I imagine those are the sort of guys fighting for those last 4 odd spots in the side each week.

I thought both our Irish lads remained here but either way, Conor McKenna has just returned so the opportunity must exist for any others who did return to Ireland.
Edit: Seems our lads did go home and Mckenna (as previously stated) gets a leave pass due to his residency.
Essendon expect McKenna back as other Irishmen hit hurdles
The AFL and clubs are working with the government to understand what hoops several Irish players will need to get through to return to training with their respective AFL clubs.

They went home. There was videos they posted about keeping fit. McKenna is a permanent resident. These boys just on visasI thought both our Irish lads remained here but either way, Conor McKenna has just returned so the opportunity must exist for any others who did return to Ireland.

time flies, huh?
Any sign of Geoff Walsh or anyone else who might tell you to move on?

Hi Jen. What's the attitude of the club in having anyone down at training watching them even at a distance? I can't imagine they would be encouraging it but do they have any issues with standing or sitting at the opposite end of the ground well away from where the players are training as far as you're aware?
