  1. You even highlighted what I said but it looks like you still think I'm not vaccinated...? Huh!!?
  2. It's the time it took to roll a vaccine out to the public, its the lack of understanding around the origin of this virus. It's the political intervention and it's use in the political landscape. Medical science still isn't concrete on Ice Baths. Some players like wearing Skins because a Sports Scientist said it aided recovery, lessened injuries. For some players the use of Skins is just psychological. Rock tape, used internationally and in other codes of sport but not in AFL. I have used Rock Tape but I have also seen the divide Rock Tape brings the sports sience community. Having a Covid vaccine makes you feel better, more protected. A flu vaccine has done its job for me in my opinion during flu season. I have gotten the flu bad when I haven't had the flu shot but that's my trial and error. I won't force you to take the flu shot if you feel your immune system can handle you getting Influenza.
  3. We don't know Liam's intentions, he might thing he has enough to go off the grid and live off the land in isolation, wish I could. Liam Jones might want to sit out for a couple years and see where this covid thing goes in a few years. So you bring up worst case scenarios, goes both ways you know. Division has never been greater when it comes to people's opinions than right now. I feel you don't ask enough questions and you are happy to go along blindly because the expert gave it the thumbs up. During Covid-19 the billionairs increased their wealth immensely, Jeff Bezos just paid $78 million for 14 acre property on the beach of Maui. Yet in the same breath he will condemn you for creating too much carbon while he takes his jet all over the world. "But global warming" and "rising ocean levels" only matter to us and Jeff Bezos when he wants an ocean view. Al Gore Bill Gates and Obama also have property on the beach. Small business are in agony in Melbourne while the global corporations are raking it in.
  4. Never said Liam was a specialist in science. Obviously there hasn't been enough of a persuasive argument put his way yet. Doctors used to promote smoking too. Yeah science has got it 100% correct every time. Money talks, money makes things happen, not always for the good.
  5. I think it's funny, science was about throwing in a theory and wanting others to challenge your theory. Scientists welcomed other scientists to challenge their theory because that is how progress is achieved. But heaven fobid if you challenge Covid or Climate science. You get ousted and called a denier. Cancelled even. So Liam is going to throw himself into economic prison, that's his decision. Its always better to entice or persuad people to take the vaccine with good arguments. Forcing people to take something is always going to bring division. Governments have not always done what's best for everyone.
  6. Back in 2000 I was prepared to get "Every Heart Beats True" with the old 90's-2000 emblem, on my left side of my chest. Wife mentioned this time in my life to my oldest son and now I am getting pressure from him. "Come get a tatt with me!" If I was I would still put in the line "Every Heart Beats True" but with the current monogram.
  7. Under a salary cap you are going to have a couple players that you think aren't good enough but a few forget they are there because they are cheap. We were blessed with so few injuries this season so the cheaper players weren't relied on. But 2021 was pretty special. Anyone who was called upon stood up.
  8. No, I want more. For too long I supported a club that no one hated because we weren't a threat. I want to support a club that teams fear to play against. We are almost there, and if we smash our opposition early next season people will be shaking their heads as we come up in their schedule.
  9. Seriously thought this day would never come. Halfway through the 3rd I was already preparing for the loss. But then Caleb Daniel threw Gawn to the astro turf and the Demons were unleashed. The rest is history!
  10. I hope the players are not as nervous as I feel right now. I keep pacing all over the house.
  11. Brownlow on a Sunday night? Since when?
  12. Set this up at my work station. By the way, I am deep in enemy territory.
  13. Especially torn on this, Jones will be capable of running through brick walls if he is selected. But our GF victory is along time coming and no player is bigger than a club.
  14. Game in April, early in the season. Only 22,000 and sitting on the old wooden seats in the MCC members.
  15. First game: Melbourne vs North Melbourne 1991 Worst Game: Our 1000 game at the MCG. We played Hawthorn. I never left a game no mater how bad it was, until this day. Best game/result, 2005 Rd 21 vs Western Bulldogs
  16. I stood in Weids corner from day one. A change of environment would do him good and if he does come good at another club would be quick to scream, "We should never have traded him" but it's amazing what a different club can do mentally. A new club can also have the reverse outcome and no one will bat an eyelid. My personal opinion, Sam needs to move on to another club and I don't think he can handle a club putting pressure of, "if you don't perform the club will fail". MFC has a history of putting that pressure on young players, it's not intentional but some kids just don't thrive on the "look at me" culture.
  17. I'm not talking about the ones who line up, I'm talking about the ones who rock up 10 minutes before the bounce hoping to get a seat 5 to 10 rows from the fence. You hear them grumble as they drag their family up to the nosebleed section. I look at them bewildered that they think a final would have 4 to 6 seats available that close to the start. Have you never witnessed this? Don't worry, I am lining up there with you. I like to stand in silence with my thoughts and you can't help but eaves drop on a few conversations around you.
  18. I think it's funny because I heard so many in the MCC bellyache in 2018 how they had to line up in the finals. Too many old supporters like their creature comforts of walking up 10 minutes before the bounce knowing their seat is their every game day. 57 years without silverware will do that. With success comes more bums on seats and clubs don't survive without supporter growth. AFL is a business after all. We play to a schedule, not a draw.
  19. Defence look panicked. Trying to do too much
  20. Anyway, you are never going to change someone's mind attacking them but good luck with that. I don't come to Demonland to have serious conversations. Go Dee's and I hope Kossi can rise above this BS.
  21. @Webber Racism is a creation of fear, jealousy and how someone has been brought up. It's an easy way to get to someone psychologically in life and competition. Low hanging fruit insults. Babies have want in an early age, they see something and if they can't reach it they cry about it. Is this the start of jealousy? A baby will see another baby with something they want, they try to take it by force and if unsuccessful they will cry about it. Is this where babies learn jealousy to begin with or is it in their nature to want something. Advertising companies rely on this human nature.
  22. Welcome to the witch burning. 🤣 It's right out of Monty Python here.
  23. Not saying it's fixed but humans are all different. Reprogramming someone is inhumane. Humans have different experiences which create the person they are. You may not agree with how a person is wired because their God tells them to act a certain way but it is wrong to PUSH your God (not just in a religious sense) onto others. Treat others as you would want to he treated. And there will always be evil in the world. Not that this is wanted, just it is illogical to think EVERY human is nice to eachother.
  24. @Lord Nev which bit you face palming now? The bit where I say online bullying is abhorrent? Careful mate because what you are doing is bullying.
