'Sorry Liam, i'm not sure who natural hamstring healing is, but there is no way you can play this week with a grade three hamstring tear. 

And if i were you i'd be recommending you stop ingesting calf fetus. Despite what you've read, it won't help. At least it won't help your hammy - you might be protected against pagan demons 

It's all just a "big hammys" conspiracy...

    Aaron Rodgers from the NFL when asked prior to the season “I’m immunised”… he went to some healer but wasn’t vaccinated. He’s got covid.

    I think the next season has the potential to become quite compromised. We no longer have the protection of lockdowns to keep the players out of Covid's way so it is only inevitable that more players will become infected during the season proper.

    It will be interesting to see how this plays out in the AFL. Will a game will be postponed if 1 player is positive in the lead up, 3 players? 5 or 10? Will teams have to forefeit if they cannot field their best 22 due to Covid. Will we have compromised schedules again. The risk of infection is probably the greatest it will ever be and the government will only call another lockdown if cases start to put pressure on the hospital system (probably around the 5K-10K per day mark). European & American competitions will give us a good indication as to what to expect as they start to head into winter. 

    Those that think COVID is done and dusted should think again. The vaccines are good but not the silver bullet we were all sold and we all have to figure out how we live with COVID and what daily risks we are willing to take in light of this disease. 

    NHL in North America is going through issues with this, the Ottawa Senators have 9 players in covid protocol. NHL teams are allowed 23 active players so it’s a massive chunk of the team.
    They can bring players up from the minor league (the 2nds or even the 3rds).

    Just had a dream last night that the entire AFL moved to WA and SA from round 18 2022 due to COVID on the COVID  Eastern sea board

    We made the GF which was transferred to Adelaide Oval.

    Happy Friday everyone.

    It's kind of extra amusing because May was in fact able to play due to behavioural science manipulations and a deliberate conspiracy to withhold health information from him . . .

    So has Liam refused pain killing injections to get him through a game before or has he trusted the science of what is in the said painkiller??

    The lad in question is still dealing with a loss and is not in a healthy state of mind.  Mental health related

    Those who broke the story knew about the issues but failed to even mention the background issues at all.  Poor form

    For me, he gets the benefit of doubt for now.  All things considered

    He literally cannot attend his essential job - he’s fair game. 

    I’m sorry to hear his mental health is poor but that shouldn’t stop fair reporting of newsworthy events.

    Such as the fact he’s in the middle of a completing a massive donut.

    Fair reporting would have noted his state of mind and mental health issues ... as well as his ongoing grieving with regards to a loss

    Our own Kozzie was given an extended time in Adelaide to grieve with regards to a loss ... these sorts of things can effect people in different ways

    We should hold fire until more details emerge ... there is more to the story other than passing up on the money and jeopardising his own position (in my view)

    Carlton have given the lad another month to sort things out

    I can see your side of the argument but we've now got some new information to process

    Nothing happy about another season without seeing the boys play when it matters


    So Liam Jones has decided to retire because he won't get the covid vax. 

    So I'm guessing he has never had  a pain killing injection for an injury and he has a back up plan. 

    Most jobs these days require the jab and I guess travel is off for him to. 

    Can't believe he is throwing his career away. But it's his choice I guess.

    Its fair to say this pandemic has really impacted people in different ways. He is only 30 years old and in great form.

    When people are willing to give up their livelihoods and careers to remain unvaxxed something is not right and reflects the sad situation of what our Country it heading down.

    I’m looking at it as a glass half full. In Victoria 92% (and climbing) are doing the right thing and getting vaccinated. That’s an incredible effort. The media need to focus on the outliers because they help keep peoples attention, but the numbers tell the truth.

    People are free to disagree, but it’s to their own detriment. We should let them disagree, while focussing on the positives. If some of this stuff gets less oxygen then it runs out of steam.

    It’s like complaining about losing to Collingwood in the year you’ve won the flag. Does it suck? Yes. Will it be remembered, or make any difference to how history interprets the year, and the overall effort? No.

    I dislike anyone who peddles anti vaccine misinformation. But I have a degree of sympathy for the victims of that misinformation.

    Particularly if they’re refusing the vaccine for incorrect families reasons etc. 

    We have to do more to counter the misinformation particularly on social media and to bring people back in to society.

    All of that said, Liam surely has access to as many doctors and scientists as possible to talk this over. It’s a shame none of them have got through to him.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
