Thanks for your kind words. I’m currently interstate but upon my return I’ll attempt to gather the troops and do some kind of preseason update including a wrap up of the draft, the AFLW season to date and a season review.

Sad news. Was a big part of my footy replay watching childhood. RIP & Keep Punching Scotty.

There will be a report from our correspondent and best players in that will be as per the report.

Boosters don't seem to be helping in terms of contracting COVID. Seems that they assist is terms of severity and length of the illness. Everyone should get boostered (there is no more fully vaxed just being up to date with your COVID vax) but even being up to date won't stop the disruptions. We don't even know yet whether or how long catching this variant will keep us "immune" from contracting it again either in the short or long term. Immunity may only be weeks or a couple of months. Then there is likely to be other variants too. Footy in 2022 will be a shambles. Having players contract it now might be good for the preseason but what happens if and perhaps when we start to see re-infections in a few months? What's going to happen during the colder months?

It’s on today at Punt Road and the new buzz words are “health and safety protocols” with both sides affected.

Now that I know it’s actually possible for a team to kick 3 goals in a minute, particularly in the last minute of a quarter, I’ll never be comfortable at a football game ever again.

No red hat here.

That’s not the point. If media is reporting it then this site isn’t the source whether it’s true or not and I and the offending poster isn’t liable for anything.
