Likely to be 2021 not 2020 this game. AFL is kidding itself if it thinks the season can continue now. All Essendon players and staff have been exposed and have to go into 2 weeks quarantine immediately. They travelled to Sydney last week and who knows if some were positive then.
He tested negative last week. Only tested positive this week. So Sydney last week is a non issue. No one from Sydney has tested positive and if he was positive last week it would shown in testing by now
But need to correct you on a couple of other points.
Under Dept Health protocols, only close contacts will need to go into iso for 14 days, not everyone. How many will that be? Hard to say but it won't be the entire list. AFL rules restrict the amount of time entire lists can train together.
Everyone will be re-tested and depending on the results of those deemed non close contacts will determine when they can start again. Site is being cleaned which is mandatory.
Anyone forced into iso will be tested 7 days after McKenna tested positive = next Friday and remain in iso for the full 14 days
Delay? Possibly. Done for the year, nope
