I'm of the same view.

Looks as though they’ll have enough healthy players to field a team so the game will go ahead.

I’m sure our boys are keen to play after a good win so I’d expect a ruthless attitude to prepare for another win .

Just get Dank in to sort it out.

Not a problem for this mob.
Or better still, do as Trump suggests and don't test them, then they won't have it.
Good to go!

Hooked on The Blues

Druggies may ask afl to postpone the game

How many games do they want to postpone ??

How many other teams do they want to inconvenience ??

Put 22 players out on the park this week or GFY and forfeit the points !!

My understanding is that if they have to isolate players but have 22 fit to go, they have to play.
We will know early in th week what the health dept has ruled. The guess is that the entire group of 8 that trains with O'Connor will be isolated for 14 days. That's the entire back line, which apparently goes against what the AFL recommended (I suppose to avoid this exact situation) when making up the groups.

If they have 22 fit players on Tuesday and have a ban on the others, I am anticipating a couple of training injuries on Tuesday night or Wednesday to reduce those available to 21 or fewer.
Personally, I think they (or any team) that gets affected by it should forfeit the 4 points and neither team has a change in percentage. That won't allow the AFL to broadcast their 144 games, which would be a gross mishap as far as the broadcast rights agreement is concerned.

This game should be given to us in a walkover, just as the Melbourne game should go to the Dees.

This is their second, flagrant breach of the COVID restrictions. Postponing games only penalises an innocent club for the Scum's actions.

Shock horror. Once again the League has to deal with Essendons failures.

Agree that it should be “bad luck”. What better way to send the message of the cost of breaking the rules?

Had SEN playing this morning and Whatley was making all sorts of excuses for McKenna and Essendon*. Had to turn it off.

Absolutely agree with you and Rexy as would most logical people.
We aren't talking logical here though. These shit stains don't believe the rules apply to them. They've proven that time and time again.
When they got exposed as drug cheats the decision makers at AFL house responded with "everyone wants a strong Essendon**" and proceeded to reward their cheating ways with pick 1 in the draft.
I don't trust them to not change the rules to suit what is best for Essendon** rather than what is best for the entire comp.

if we play sat night we need to add speed into the team ,need to match them in running dept.

I'd prefer we took on a full strength Essendon* & won, than any other alternatives
