Yes - though we don't have numbers on who has had it vs been a close contact isolation, I'd imagine there is a fair chunk who have tested positive.
The general completion still looks fairly evenly matched - Pies have looked good, as have the usual suspects of Melbourne, Adelaide and Freo - they are all undefeated after 3 games. The Roos seem likely for a finals spot, but I think 6th is wide open.
On the flip side, Geelong have been better but not got a win, while WC and the Saints are winless after 3.
Like the EPL table, it's going to be important to take note of the games played when analysing how teams are going.

Contrary to the AFLW site, the match is not on 7mate. livestream on aflw site.
AFLW umpiring is absolutely mystifying.
Hard to be angry with it after most of the team have either had covid or been locked in their house for a portion of the last three weeks.
Umpiring has been crazy. I think they gave a stat of over 20 holding the ball free kicks in a half of football!
Our skills really need to pick up in general. Missing targets and dropping uncontested marks is not good enough anymore.
Yes have to dig deep in the second half. Blackburn and Lamb have been well held.
Doesn't help when your best player goes down in the first round either.
BTW why couldnt the young lady who didn't want to wear the pride top just wear the normal strip?
Man, absolutely dominated the quarter for almost no reward. 11 points down into the breeze. Going to be a struggle
Have to admit at half time i thought the covid fatigue/heat might see us fall away. We dug deep but wasn't enough. Was impressed with Issabella Grant.
Very tough to back up on Tuesday night against the best in Freo.
Kept trying, awful disposal and poor decision making really did us in. Could have fired NMD into the sun when she gave away that free kick on the shepherd. Thought Moody and Edmonds worked hard, Brown has become a super dependable defender and one of our best players. Got absolutely burnt on turnover against the wind.
I think by the end of the game the tickets were well and truly spent.
Put in a big effort for no reward. Owned that 3rd quarter and got bugger all for it.
It's going to be tough against freo and I can see up being 0-3.
