WA will have no restrictions in place barring the hard border and to remote aboriginal communities come July 18. Relocate the whole league here.

Agreed except on a permanent basis.

Pretty hairy 48hrs coming up. Qld and NSW could close borders with Vic putting the next couple of rounds in limbo. Essendon might have their entire backline in isolation and we might have to relocate the comp to WA for the next month or so!

What is a close contact if it isn’t team mates you did contact training with?

I like that the only close contact is conveniently a guy who hasn't played in over a year.

So move the Essendon and Melbourne's games to thursday and friday night this week and make them re-do that game midweek next week?

If we havent had any cases for a month, then I would be ok with it.

Its possible for the players and the crowd to be completely separate and never come into contact with each other, so we wont catch those dirty eastern states germs.

I understand that having no covid seems like a distant dream to victorians, but we are close over here in the best state.

They should let people fly to Perth and be put in a special section of the stands with other quarantiners. Call it "The Colony".

Also Melbourne played WC in Round 1 so I assume we can't be a team to fly there.

Is that normal for Covid? They reconfirmed that the tests on the weekend are definitely positive, but now its negative. Didn't realise it was capable of working like that.

Well if the body eventually fights it off, there would have to be two consecutive days in there somewhere, in which day one you test positive, day two you test negative.

True, but he also tested negative for it 2 days before he tested positive? So he only had it for a maximum of 4 days? Not saying I don't believe that, just wasn't aware Covid worked that way

The suggestion is that the positive test was a false positive caused by a faulty or contaminated test

Lol so that WA quarantine thing sounds like a good opportunity to send Melbourne and Essendon over to make up their game, except Melbourne and Essendon both played the Perth teams in round 1.

The tests aren't that flash. They can give false positives by picking up inactive bits of virus RNA hanging around the body for months after you get infected, and they can also just gently caress up for whatever reason. You can potentially tell if he ever had the disease via an antibody test but some of those a pretty crap too because they pick up antibodies from all the other random coronaviruses that cause colds.

Also apparently kids in Ireland were routinely given the BCG vaccine until a few years ago so McKenna more than likely got a couple of shots of that as he was growing up. That could be a reason for the weird test results if the virus was trying to get a foothold but couldn't or what kept to an extremely low level due to the vaccine.

Looking at the tips for round 3 and Port vs Eagles at Metricon, that's a bit harsh. Finally memorizing whatever they're calling Docklands this year, that's getting stupid too.

I've got a pocket full of cheese🧀, and a garden full of trees🌴.

The results of the investigation will be:

"Yep, Herieter was racially insulted constantly maybe once or twice at our club. EverybodyNobody knew about it. But it was done by most peoplea few bad eggs who are still in positions of authority no longer at this club. We are sorry that the black chimp sooked and dobbed us in that it happened. But it is not our fault at all, coz we are weasally liars and protected behind the boys club of the AFL industrygood blokes. In the future we will do nothing endeavor to put vague toothless performative anti racism measures into place. This ends all discussion on the issue."

Wot? That’s literally the cliche Ross would bring out at the press conference of every win he had at Freo “bank the four points and move onto next week”, he’s clearly forgotten the last 10 years, or knows that’s why we never won a GF under him.
