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.

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
