We'd all be in a better place if the premier hired competent people for hotel quarantine security.

And as for the 'conspiracy theory' label (how original by the way),  I and others were called conspiracy theorists months ago for saying they will make the vaccine mandatory.  Lo and behold,  there was our Prime Minister all over TV  yesterday talking about mandatory vaccinations.

If you can't see whats going on by now you have no hope.

 

Still gotta play our part though, no matter what.

    So mandatory vaccine is a bad thing? Not even a debatable point it's a no brainer.

    Nothing to do with the COVID 2020 fixture, but what a cracking movie that was eh Rusty.

    Yep as dumb as movies comes but it was a one off hoot.  They certainly got the casting right.  Fabulous chemistry with a dash of slapstick jack [censored] silliness thrown in along with some some very good straight men.  Some classic meme's and GIFs from this one.

    While Dan should shoulder ( and I believe will when the enquiry is finished) due to the quarantine outbreak ( guilty of not checking the success etc after a few days ) not of the choice.

    So is Gladys B ( as is Brad Hazzard) responsible  for the Ruby Princess debacle. She has apologised without testing real blame I feel snd could have sacked ( or asked Brad to resign) Brad.

    AND SCOMO ie responsible fir the Aged Care tragedy. Where is the plan? Says  there is one! If There is one lets see it?

    Oh and if it does exist IT HAS FAILED under any situation in NSW and VIC.He did a general apology  but didn't take responsibility really.

    We should be playing in Hobart this weekend (a Jetstar departure reminder came up on my phone). We'd be right in the middle of this Antarctic bubble cold weather system that's been forecast to hit with game day temperatures of 9 degrees maximum and wind gusts of up to 50km p/h. No doubt we'd have coughed up a one kick lead going into the last quarter with a 10 goal hurricane at our backs.

    "AFL football won't be played in Victoria in 2021 if the state of emergency is extended by 12 months"

    Tom Elliott, 3AW, 25/08/2020

    Hi BBP. I have no idea who Tom Elliott is but my understanding of the situation is that Victoria, unlike other states can only activate any of the measures we're currently seeing under a state of emergency for a maximum of six months only. That period is due to end soon. Extending the option for a further 12 months would allow them to be activated again at short notice (if required) without a lengthy debate taking place in parliament to change legislation. It doesn't in itself extend level 4 restrictions beyond 13 September or into the 2021 football season. It's a preemptive measure should there be a need to close things down again quickly at some point in the next year or so.

    That's a ridiculous comment.

    The current proposal isn't to extend the State of Emergency for 12 months, but to provide the government with ability to do so.

    And regardless, the existence of a State of Emergency doesn't mean life can't get back to "normal". Indeed, the government's argument is that it needs the State of Emergency to allow life to get back to a safe normal by providing the ongoing power to require masks to be worn or density limits in places like stadiums.

    Scaremongering based on politics, just like racism it’s not political people it’s an out of control virus that is killing people. These politicians are elected to make these kinds of terribly unpopular decisions. It will go to parliament to decide.

    Mandatory flu vaccines are a bad thing yes.  Ask yourself why they would push a mandatory vaccine for a virus with a better than 99% survival rate that only kills the elderly and the very rare person under 60 who already have underlying medical issues?  

    And before you call me an anti vaxxer, no....  I have had various vaccinations in the past such as Malaria and Hep A for travels and what not.

    Was more than happy to take those, but as far as this new virus goes my immune system will do just fine thanks.  As will yours I'm sure and 90% of peoples.

    800,000 people have died, despite all the measures put in place. If too many people get the virus, our hospitals will be too stretched and more and more people will die that would have been saved by a vaccine. Younger people may be mostly not in serious trouble but they get it and spread it to the vulnerable. 

    So I guess if you don’t care about people over 60 and people with other conditions dying before their time, you should not get the vaccine. 

    That is probably the most selfish post I have ever read

    Are you really happy for 10% of the people you know to die because you are selfish?

     

    Edit-If the virus mutates and only affects people in your demographic would that change your mind? The world may be a better pace if they find that the virus causes sterility or impotence in the selfish.

    Whether you like it or not, you're an anti-vaxxer. Selective in which vaccines you wish to have, but an anti-vaxxer nevertheless. And if you look closely in the mirror, you might also see traits of selfishness and disrespect for others. If you don't see that, you might also need spectacles for your eyes before you make a further spectacle of yourself.

    Vaccine should not be made mandatory but those who refuse to take it and therefore put society at risk should be excluded from other health benefits provided by society - e.g. no access to Medicare.

    An no access to the MCG!

    I don't want to sit right behind or beside some virulent, COVID loving, anti vaxer, conspiracy theorist, Pete Evans wanna be, wack job yelling abuse at a dees player, or worse an umpire for not policing the rules properly.

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
