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.

My heart bleeds.

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.

From pills to prayer groups...

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

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
