The decision not to excuse local AFL players from cross-border travel rules<\/a> reveals who is calling the shots in South Australia during the coronavirus pandemic, argues Matthew Abraham.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Matt told David & Will on Thursday\u2019s FIVEAA breakfast show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis does show that Nicola Spurrier is running the state not Steven Marshall, and I think Steven Marshall probably accepts that as well\u2026.<\/p>

\u201cI do think South Australians generally have locked in behind the advice from our chief medical officer because so far it\u2019s been right\u2026<\/p>

\u201cThe restrictions on cross-border travel, they\u2019re not just something that\u2019s written out on a sticky note. These are under section 25 of the Emergency Management Act\u2026 footy players aren\u2019t on the list of essential travellers.<\/p>

\u201cThat doesn\u2019t mean to say that exemptions can\u2019t be made\u2026 but I think the risk with the AFL given the clusters of players, the contact with players from all other state, particularly in Victoria where it\u2019s not safe to send the kids to school… but let\u2019s get footy up and running.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
