BDA

My preference from the start was Astra because its tried and tested technology. Can't believe the stupidity of demonising this vaccine. If it was good enough for the UK it's good enough for us.

Thanks @Nasherand @Demonland. Appreciate all the hard work. You're both delivering a valuable service providing this outlet for us cooped up, cranky Dees tragics

Gil is earning his fat salary this year. It must be a nightmare trying to keep the show on the road

Not sure experimenting this close to finals is advisable. Rivers in time could be a good option. I don't think Salem has the physicality for the role plus he gives us such drive off half back.

It's laughable that Harmes is unhappy with his role. The defensive mid / tagger role plays to his strenghts. He's either delusional, badly advised or both. If he won't do the team thing and stick to his role we'll have to cut him lose.

We might not be allowed in anywhere but if we are Adelaide is closer and logistically easier to get to. Flights would cost an arm and a leg to get to Perth so we'd have to trek over the Nullabor.

Definitely prefer Adelaide. It's easier to get to if the Dees make it

I reckon a record number of pets became members this year

Very Nasty

The GF is an eternity away in Covid world. Delta can't be contained for too long so i'll be happy just to get the game played at all. If the Dees do manage to win it i'm sure we'll enjoy it just the same even if we can't attend. And get vaccinated people. It's our only pathway out this limbo.

Aren’t we better off having an oval that is different dimensions to the G seeing as we already have Casey? Practice on Gosch’s paddock before we play a smaller ground and Casey before we play the G. Better to have options I reckon

I'd like to see Jones as well. I'm not sure if he's travelled though. Maybe next week v Adelaide

I hope the teams MFCSS antennae are up as well. We have to assume that the eagles will come out all guns blazing. I would be disappointed if we allowed them to get the jump on us early. A slow start is not acceptable on Monday They’ve shown a very soft underbelly this year though so if we can withstand the early onslaught we should be ok.

He's a monster. Practically untaggable. Leading the coaches votes. 2 x AA and another on the way this year Goal kicking was better v the suns. the only area of his game where he can improve. We're very lucky to have him (and signed up for another few seasons)

True. Most club players would play both. And soccer in the winter. No more dual players at inter-county level anymore though. Too much of a time commitment plus management teams want them to commit to one or the other.

Hopefully the game can go ahead without a crowd. Big stroke of luck for us if it does A postponement would be a bad outcome

If it ain't broken don't fix it

Jordon for Viney. Sparrow reprieved Hibbo for Salem if Christian isn't fit to play Would like to get a look at Jones before finals. didn't travel i understand so perhaps Adelaide. and would like to see Melks as well. His delivery is very good if only he could apply more pressure.

Setanta O h'Ailpin was an inter-county hurler with Cork. Very good hurler he won all ireland titles at underage. Can't recall if he won a senior medal. I don't think any other Irish recruit to the AFL was a hurler A lot of hurling clubs sprung up in australia around 2008 with the exodus of Irish as a result of the recession. There are 5 hurling clubs in Melbourne now. The Galeic football standard was very good here at the time (a lot of excellent gaelic footballers came over) but hurling not so much. The Gaelic AustralAsian games were held here in Melbourne 2 years ago. Witnessed a game between WA and Victoria which was of a similar standard to senior club games back home. It was an excellent game. Club details are in the below link. There might be a team close to you that you can get along to watch https://www.australasiangaelicgames.com/our-clubs/

inconclusive video evidence and no witness testimony from collins = shafted nibbler = shafted Wouldn't describe Fritsch verdict as bank robbery. Iirc it was deemed no case to answer (accidental contact) which was the correct call. But they did get the decision right so i'll give you that.

The video was not conclusive. I believe this was acknowledged during the hearing

2 weeks. shafted at the tribunal. again

Collins instigated the tussle with Viney. He should testify and help sort this mess out

guilty as charged. on no evidence. what a joke gotta appeal this BS

video evidence inconclusive and no evidence presented to confirm contact was with the throat. On what basis can the jury convict?
