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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
