McGuire clarified his comments this morning on the Hot Breakfast.

He explained that the circumstances have changed since when he said those comments and there was a chance the season wouldn't get off the ground if there was another breach. 

McGuire pointed out that at the time there were very loose penalties in place and explained that he called for the AFL to make a statement by enforcing an extreme punishment and show the state authorities that the AFL were serious. 

He said that Collingwood have still accepted the harshest penalty for a Covid breaches to date.
