Sydney has opted to leave behind assistant coaches Jarrad McVeigh, Dean Cox and Don Pyke on its trip to Melbourne, despite the trio testing negative to COVID-19.
The Swans and the AFL received a major boost on Thursday after the club confirmed that all players and staff had tested negative to COVID-19 amid NSW s COVID-19 outbreak.
Sydney travelled to Melbourne via an AFL-arranged charter flight on Thursday, but McVeigh, Cox and Pyke did not board the flight amid fears they would not be granted entry into Victoria.
McVeigh, Cox and Pyke attended the Azure Cafe in Moore Park between the 12:30-1:00 pm exposure period on May 3 as notified by NSW Health.

“It’s exciting to see those people, but it’s also sad,” Roberts, the owner of Cafe Azure, said. “I had somebody come in last week and they were like, ‘Oh my gosh, how old’s the baby now?’ I was like, ‘She’s 9 months old.’ I haven’t seen that person since I was pregnant. Things like that make you realize, ‘Wow, it’s been a long time.’”
