I’ve read countless column inches speculating about how he got it, that he might have broken the rules, did he train while sick, what does this mean for Essendon / other teams / the season, when will the grand final be, what about hubs etc etc.
Guess how many words I have read expressing sympathy to him because he has a potentially deadly disease, or hoping him and his family are OK? Zero.
They are actually allowed to visit family (his foster family is just that) and they are allowed to go out of their house (an open house is allowed). So where exactly did he breach the rules that you know of?
Give it a rest WOB, your attacks on him are really quite pathetic, you are better than this mate.
Worth remembering that there’s a large body of evidence that even mild bouts of covid can cause significant and lasting lung damage in some cases. That’s not something you can suffer and still be up to the physical demands of top level football.
Any case of covid in a player needs to be considered a potentially career-ending condition.
I guess it’s better for this to happen at the start of the season and not the back end, chances are other teams are going to go through similar situations in the lead up to finals
Our new forward half game would hopefully keep it up there protecting our backline, albeit halfback is still strong. We could still win & it would be joyous.
I don’t think covid flew through the window. it is likely, that there has been a breach. if their hasn’t, then fair enough, I will put my hand up and say it’s unfair critisism.
my annoyance comes from IF it was a breach, it was clearly avoidable and that’s not just a little mistake. i think is the most likely scenario
