Just days after his comeback game, Western Bulldogs midfielder Josh Dunkley has been forced into 14 days of home quarantine after visiting a tier 1 coronavirus exposure site for a coffee last week.
It comes after 15 players and staff members from the Sydney Swans and GWS were forced into isolation after attending last week’s Wallabies Test match against France in Melbourne.
Three Swans and two Giants players had to be called up just hours before the match on Sunday night when a Covid reclassification forced five players from the two teams into isolation. They could face longer on the sidelines, with Queensland government directives saying the players and officials must quarantine for 14 days.
GWS coach Leon Cameron said he’d “heard whispers” the AFL could pause the competition to get on top of the quarantine and bubble situation.
