Potential training breach?

[ams4crows]

I can picture it now. The VFL will send COVID monitors over from Melbourne to monitor our training.......then they get stopped at the border by the SA government and sent back! Fantastic.

The monitors will write full training reports and give them to the AFL where they'll be leaked to every Vic club.

 

[ams4crows]

If they do i.e. take any draft picks, I'm done.

Me too, and if the fine is over 20k

If it was Ben Hart who was the assistant coach, should immediately be sacked

 

[hey shorty]

If they do i.e. take any draft picks, I'm done.

They won't be doing that.

However if they broke SAPOL rules then it would've still been a stretch.

 

[Tex200]

We broke no SAPOL rules, to me that's the main thing

It’s still stupid.

And our list of stupid continues to pile up.

 

[hey shorty]

It’s still stupid.

And our list of stupid continues to pile up.

It's way down on the list, it's so very minor.

You don’t actually know what’s happened yet. Also, at the end of the day, does this even matter? It’s some half arsed rule the AFL brought in a week ago, it’ll just be a warning and don’t do it again (which won’t be a problem as restrictions will ease by Monday anyway in other states).

The players were under direction to only train in pairs, but the club is now under investigation after witnesses claim the group of 16 players were busted training together in a large group.

It was recently made legal in South Australia for groups of 10 or less to train together, but not under the AFL’s return to footy plan.

Stupidity from the players. Who would have thought that footballers weren't the brightest sparks?

 

[BACCS]

It's way down on the list, it's so very minor.

Restrictions are likely to be eased to allow training in groups of 10 by next Monday anyway in Victoria, I can’t believe this is even a story.

 

[BACCS]

Who is the witness in a hotel that’s closed off to the public? Hotel staff?

 

[hey shorty]

You'd have to think so, and they'll be telling people it was them who "caught those pesky Crows"

 

[MRB37]

So apparently we went to SAPOL first who said it was all fine as long as they didn't gather in groups larger then 10.

 

[BACCS]

Also, does anyone actually think clubs haven’t been secretly doing this anyway? WA clubs would be stupid not to if they can do it away from any of the public.

 

[BACCS]

So apparently we went to SAPOL first who said it was all fine as long as they didn't gather in groups larger then 10.

I’m so confused now, did we break the half arse AFL rule or not? If they were training in groups of two in the same area, that’s fine.

So then got 16 guys training together...

 

[jackster83]

Was Rucci hiding in the bushes again?

No way they would risk that if hotel staff are there. I’m guessing they were training in groups of two on the same oval and a person has seen that and automatically thinks it’s just one massive group training together.

 

[Tex200]

I’m not so sure it will be.

Don’t forget these guys were supposed to be locked down doing their 14 days self isolation.

Im not sure the exact requirements, but footy training with others is surely not self isolation. May yet be a SAPOL matter

IIRC they have been cleared by SAPOL. They were allowed to train, but they've breached numbers

 

[hey shorty]

I don't think we did, we broke AFL rules not state ones.

 

[MRB37]

Apparently we are not being accused of breaking any state quarantine laws and it's only the AFL's "pairs" rule they're investigating.

 

[BACCS]

They have been, Peter J going off without facts yet again.

 

[Peter Doherty]

More bullshit from the AFL.

This is an absolute nothing burger but we know how the AFL operate, anything to keep the sport in the headlines even at the expense of their clubs is what matters.

 

[moses]

Such a knee jerk rule. What advantage are they gaining? We have already had a preseason.

It would be quite ridiculous if this is given anything other than a warning
