News is McKenna did not breach ANY Afl Covid rules. He went to an open inspection, which is allowed under AFL rules. During the weights session, distancing was practiced...

The lynch mob that's been after him, especially in the press - well, I guess I'm not surprised at all, unfortunately.

TBH I haven't seen any "lynch mob" or been reading wide enough to see if this is the case ...

I honestly think it was inevitable and he is the unfortunate "first" case ... not helped by "some" circumstances but it sitll is just what it is ... surely we all knew this was coming at some point in time ...

“The details of his breach have been revealed, he has confirmed that he did attend an open house viewing, his lease was up for his house so he looked at another house. Then he effectively went to visit family and friends, the host parents who effectively bordered him when he came across from Ireland.

“He did that despite the explicit warnings that this was a COVID breach, despite the explicit warnings that Essendon had handed their players after Brandon Zerk-Thatcher was suspended for a COVID breach last week.”

None of those things are outside the AFL Covid guidelines. There was no, "breach".

I'll leave it there. Won't hijack the thread .

Surprisingly I still have a chance of winning my match-up in my main league...if one Mr. Houston and one Mr. Sturt combine for 210+.
In other words, I have lost this week's match-up.

Pretty sure I'm stuffed for the week but have eyes on Rozee with Ollie back in ... think he should still go okay but need a 3rd look ...

Got like 3- 4 options I want to bring in so a bit of a shoot out ...
