Angry about proposed travel ban exemption for footballers

[DC3]

Careful you don’t stray into politics.

Yes, I was just reading something on another thread about political comments are now forbidden on AFF, unless travel-related:

AFF - Revised Posting Guidelines

Further to my announcement Reminder of our Terms of Services which we will now be enforcing more strictly (17 March), it disappoints me to report that some members continue to flaunt our guidelines by posting disrespectful, bullying, argumentative, and generally unconstructive comments...

I know he is not a footballer, but do wonder if he got the standard quarantine or a glitzy version

Rhetorical question?

You know, when the Finals players are prohibited from doing much at all other than play football and eat, sleep and train in their cocoon, and that includes Eddie's club, Collingwood, an appropriate gesture for him is to simply suck it up princess and do likewise. Show a bit of leadership. I expect he realises he can't mingle with his cocoon now.

He made it very clear on the radio this morning that he is not part of the Collywobble bubble. And therefore can not interact with anyone who is. Part of why he isn't in a bubble is that he's going be to filming Hot Seat in Brisbane for the next 4 weeks

Sure. But maybe a leadership thing to not go out on the town given he is President while the players are locked up. Walk the talk kind of thing.

Absolutely. And I don't buy the his line that he was out conducting "research" on how to get Victorian restaurants and nightclubs open in a COVID safe manner

If you mean the AFL Hub. He is not in the AFL Hub nor part of the Collingwood bubble. So hub rules do not apply to him, though will now exclude him where they apply to Collingwood players and staff.

That visit was after he had left quarantine.

oh tell me he didn't say that! Who do you barrack for TV? If Power win tonight then it's off to Perth and Quarantine for the Collingwood team. GO POWER!

A little more eloquently than I framed it, but that's what he said.

I'm a Saints man so undecided whether I'd rather they play the Dogs or Pies in 2 weeks

But if Collingwood win the Lions are the minor premiers so I think for the first time ever I am hoping Collingwood win.

Ok. Don't mind the Saints.

Not even then.

Hey folks this the "angry" thread not the who do I support thread

Ok. I'm angry Collingwood just kicked a goal!

It is interesting that WA requires a week's quarantine for the arrival team next week.

Me too I prefer the Dogs.

Back on Eddie. I am not a fan of him nor the Pies. But as he completed quarantine, and is not part of a bubble then like any citizen he should be free to go out.

Eddie and son, dancing at strip club on Gold Coast. Not a good look during COVID or anytime else? YMMV.

HIs unofficial moniker "eddy everywhere" didn't appear without a reason.

If the opponent flies out tomorrow, then it’s might be 1+ week of active quarantine, as AFL finals have a bye, no?

Back to getting angry at footballers...

 

[SydneySwan]

Come on the Swans .... for next year. We are already finished this year

And yet WA won't even let its own residents return, even if they quarantine. See that's what makes me angry.
