Pre game postulations: AFL 2020 Rd 4: Carlton vs ??? - crashlander - 06-20-2020
With Connor McKenna being Covid-positive, there are now significant questions as to whether next week's game will go ahead.
Certainly the memes are already flying.
It also begs the question, if we don't play next week, when will we be on free-to-air TV?

I can see a meme like this for us:

This one is going to be hairy. No idea what the AFL are going to decide.

It's going ahead. AFL rules say as long as you have 22 fit players you play.

The AFL might need to be a bit careful forcing teams to play on regardless.
I have a few concerns about 'our' players and the risks to their health if this game goes ahead.

Looks like he deliberately breached the rules. If Essendon* can't field a side surely we then get the 4 points under those circumstances. It's not out fault and should not be penalised.

Somehow I can see us being penalized, just because it is us.

We're playing. Only James Stewart and, of course, Connor McKenna stood down. So we play a full Essendon side.
Hope we don't catch anything. Imagine they are ok.

So apparently the virus doesn't spread unless you wrestle someone.
