Former AFL coach Nathan Buckley has provoked outrage with a bizarre post questioning the contagiousness of the Delta coronavirus strain.
The recently-resigned Collingwood coach claimed the highly-infectious strain wasn't as contagious as it was made out to be in a tweet on Sunday.
Victoria was plunged into its fifth lockdown in 16 months on Thursday after the latest outbreak in NSW crossed the border.
The state recorded 16 new cases on Sunday, prompting Buckley to weigh into the Covid debate in his first Twitter post since leaving Collingwood in June.
