She is also an extremely committed Catholic and the deputy chair of the Catholic parish council for Boulder-Kalgoorlie in WA.  A Catholic Facebook group she is a member of was circulating all of the foetal cell line stuff and waiting for Novavax (my sister in law waited) despite the Catholic Church being ok with vaccines. I have no idea if Jack Darling waited for that reason but it is a possibility he would like to keep his religious views private.  

Well there is a group of Christian nutters at wce (look at the doco on the 2020 season with their pre-game prayer groups etc) so it is a possibility

    I'm surprised that neither WC nor the AFL have clearly stated that he has been actually vaccinated.

    He could still get around the AFL protocols by getting an exemption for medical reasons.

    I think the AFL want the issue resolved any way they can, regardless of protocols. Whatever it takes

    National Cabinet has recommended that "close contact" rules be relaxed. When and to what extent will be left to each State.

    This will be fun if they adopt different definitions

    X can play this week in Melbourne and Sydney but not in Adelaide or Perth. 

    NT... who knows

    The way West Coast is going, they may be dipping into the top up players earlier than anyone anticipated. They're having a wretched run with injuries.

    Kelly is also out for round 1 because he’s tested positive for Covid. 
    West Coast are cooked. Couldn’t happen to a club I hate more, unless it happened to Geelong.

    Gold Coast are still $2.10 to win 

    I've still tentatively tipped the Eagles only because I simply can't bring myself to tip against them at home against the Suns even given their preseason woes and now this. The writing is on the wall for the Eagles I just don't have the [censored] to tip against them yet. Hopefully they languish on the bottom for a while. It will be nice to travel to Perth for an easy win at our fortress.

    The old Aaron Rodgers "I'm immunized" approach, I like it.

    McGowan delayed the inevitable, but was always going to miraculously open up ‘just in time’ for the Eagles and Dockers. The irony is that he’s stuffed their list up - as all the other states had players away in January, and the Eagles are now just beginning to deal with it.

    WA is the gift that keeps on giving.

    Such short sighted BS from McGowan. WA will now go through the wave and delay families being reunited etc.

    for what?

    I'm predicting carnage in the next few rounds for the AFL as the Son of Omicron variant rips through the population in the coming weeks.

    Yep. I just hope most of our guys have already had Covid, thereby reducing their risk of reinfection.

    Winter is going to be bad again unfortunately.

    Collingwood have one (Hoskin Elliot) and Hawks have two (un named) players missing due to covid

    3AW news

    Have to remember that the close contact rules for households still apply.

    If these rules go the numbers absent each week will drop dramatically

    If our players had it over Christmas/New Years then any immunity is probably gone now.

    From what I understand triple jab + having had Covid provides decent long term immunity.

    I might be wrong tho. The variants move and mutate so quickly these days. 

    I am still waiting to get Covid. Fairly shocked it hasn't happened yet.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
