You reckon they've contained it here? They've already stuffed up and let an infected kid into NSW after they got his test results mixed up and there was another stuff up again at Sydney Airport today where they let passengers from a Melbourne flight through unchecked...also new cases in the ACT for the first time in months..... :shh

Caro last night on Footy Classified said Richmond has only taken 33 players up to the hub.

She also said players left behind will be allowed to join the hub sooner given the AFL is considering compressing the next month of the season after round 7 by having 4 matches in 3 weeks. Clubs will need more of their players.

Sounds like they are trying to get the rest of the squad up to Qld including Bachar and his family.  After being told by the AFL there would be no scratch matches whilst in the hub the AFL has now changed their mind and allowing them.  What an absolute cluster.

While some players, most notably Jack Riewoldt, have been critical of their "shoebox" accommodations up north, Gil McLachlan said he has heard the exact opposite.

"I don't know what Jack Riewoldt's saying but everyone I've spoken to directly and the vast majority of the players, they think it's amazing," he said.

"I've gotten great feedback from the clubs.

"Speaking to the WA and Adelaide clubs, they're in a great rhythm and having a great time."

Why is Jack captain? At the moment, if he is complaining about the accomodation as well, he’s a liability to the side - on and off field.
“I find it nearly impossible to make those judgments, but he is certainly up there with the really important ones, he is certainly up there with the Francis Bourkes and the Royce Harts and the Kevin Bartlett and the Kevin Sheedys, there is no doubt about that,” Balme said.

He is captain because he is our vice captain.

Who else is there?

Someone who puts his team above his personal welfare in public?
It’s ridiculous that he keeps complaining.
That’s if he’s whining about the size of the rooms in the accomodation. That tipped me over the edge.
