Half Essendon's list got covid over summer after Michael Hurley's wedding so hopefully there's not many left to catch it

But by about round 10 players who had it preseason will lose their immunity and possibly recatch it. So midseason will be a bit of a shitshow too, especially since the whole season will use these rules and players will be tested before every match.

Based on how Buddy is playing and also how Sydney is playing around him (and how the umpire read the script) is anyone else feeling like all this loving hype over Buddy kicking the kilo is just like your frail grandad’s 90th birthday?
He’s almost got it, he just might make it, and if everyone* looks after him he just might get there…

Nope, just you.

I’m not sure about greatest player of all time, I probably still lean towards Carey. But over the course of their career there is no player I would want to turn up and watch more than Buddy. What a loving gift to footy fans, and his renaissance last year and this has been glorious.

I still think the funniest outcome would be Buddy copping some sort of season ending injury and everyone having to wait until next year for him to kick it.

luckily this game isn't close yeah, the points about getting back into the game after this extra break is true plus cooling down means extra chance for pinging a hammy or something.

Probably similar to last year's West Coast Dees game in Perth with the half hour lightning break in the last quarter, when the game restarted the Dees had gone cold and the Eagles charged right back into it

I was also flying to site the next morning and had to be up at 4am and it was not a good time

Well Essendon was less poo poo this week so it's trending in the right direction. Probably should have won that with some better goalkicking.

Does HS Protocol mean they have COVID or were close contacts?

Surely the AFL will go the way of the NFL. Rigiorous testing and protocols early in the season... then it just mysteriously disappears, players only missing if they are genuienly sick.
