RICHMOND and Fremantle players say they don't expect the Western Australian club's swine flu scare to disrupt this weekend's clash between the teams at Subiaco Oval.

Fremantle travelled home after Saturday's loss to North Melbourne on the same flight as WA's first swine flu victim, raising concerns about possible infection.

Initial reports said no Fremantle players or officials were seated near the victim, but subsequent investigations showed an administration official, who was not part of the official touring party, was seated close by.

Fremantle's Dean Solomon, who is set to play his 200th AFL game this weekend, said he never thought football would lead him to a situation like this.

"It's just one of those things – wrong place, wrong time," he said at Fremantle Oval on Tuesday morning.

"But all our guys seem pretty fine.
 
"We're all pretty good up here.
 
"Our doctor spoke to us and just said, 'Look, if anyone shows any signs of any flu symptoms, just give us a buzz and come in'.
 
"I'm pretty sure no-one's called up, which is good for us. Everyone was at training today, so I think we're in the clear."

Solomon said he wasn't too worried when he found out what had happened.
"No, not really. I don't personally know where the guy was sitting. But I guess it hits home a little bit, you think, 'It can get to you no matter where you are.'
 
"These sorts of things travel worldwide.
 
"I don't think any of the guys have been scared from it.
 
"As I said, we're all in the clear.
 
"Everyone's checked in today and everyone's trained."
Richmond midfielder Brett Deledio said his side certainly didn't have any concerns.

"I don't think we'll be in too much trouble," he said with a laugh.

An AFL spokesman said that Fremantle was keeping them fully briefed on the situation and that the League had considered all options in case the situation worsened.
