Port Adelaide stung by drastic quarantine call

All Port Adelaide players and staff who travelled to the Gold Coast for Saturday's AFL round-one game are now in quarantine for 14 days.

Players, coaches and staff are self-isolating for two weeks at the behest of the South Australian government and SA health officials.

Port players have already posted to social media detailing their own isolation plans.

"Port Adelaide fully supports this decision ... the club acknowledges every precaution must be taken against the spread of the coronavirus," Port said in a statement on Monday.

The SA government on Sunday introduced strict border controls which require any person entering the state to self-isolate for 14 days as the Power returned to Adelaide.

Meantime, the Crows say they'll leave it up to players to decide if they want to return to their home states.

A total of 33 players on the Crows list are from outside South Australia, but the core of their team including the likes captain Rory Sloane, Taylor Walker and David Mackay call Adelaide home after spending more than a decade in the city.

The AFL competition has been suspended until at least May 31 in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
