Pre game postulations: AFL 2020 Rd 4: Carlton vs ???

[Lods]

Cripps will have some Bomber creep hanging off him for the entire game.
Players will be shoulder to shoulder throughout.

It seems bizarre that there is no concern here, but we have to accept the decision.
I hope these Health folk know what they're doing

I find it hard to believe there's  only one "close" contact during the so called infectious stage. Ironically it's a player who's barely seen the big time ?

The sceptics might say this club is master of disguising information. For that alone, I am unconvinced and hope to goodness our blokes don't cop any filth respiratory secretions ?

Anyways I hope we a) avoid infection b) crush them in a 29 point win, while c) keeping to an embarrassing score

Go Blues

Yes, I realise the media made the footage look as bad as possible, with the McKenna footage showing a coughing, gobbing, snotty fountain of puss for much of the training session! :o

[capcom]

Apparently (TBC) he caught it during an open for inspection...are we seriously to believe that?    If so,  and this virus is so frighteningly transmissive, why aren't the whole club under quarantine?  Again,  I call bulldust!

Agents are required to record your details before you walk into a house open for inspection.  So I'd be checking on that first up

We're not hearing the complete story Prof

[deags]

I call bulldust. His entire training group should be isolated.  This reeks of appeasing the cheats - a compromise otherwise they'll threaten to take their bat and ball and go home

There was vision of the training session on the news and it showed a close up of him blowing snot out of his nose and you could see the aerosol droplets.

And he was handling the same footballs as everyone else.

A teacher or student tests positive and they close the entire school.

I suppose there is relatively little control over children, then again I woudn't assume all AFL footballers are better!

School communities range from the illiterate to the elite.

AFL players almost have a 1:1 minder ratio!

I could do a calculation, after all, I teach that stuff, but the the probability of only two players from that group being 'at risk' sounds like wishful thinking at best and not in touch with reality at worst. I'd be thinking closer to the 2nd alternative, and not just because I hate the Drug Cheats.

[Gointocarlton]

So we are playing the Cheats. I wouldnt make a change to the side that beat the Catastrophes. What I want to see is the exact same attitude, effort and skill as last week from the first bounce to the last.

[ElwoodBlues1]

Agree with ProfE, that entire training group should be isolated to make sure everyone else is safe, ie if they were passengers from a cruise ship they would be quarantined for 14 days. EFC should have volunteered to isolate those players for 14 days in the interest of the community....
