If this variant arose in a low vaccinated population then more likely that current vaccines will still be effective against it. I think this is the case in southern Africa The mutation which I worry about is the one that arises in vaccinated populations and has mutated to avoid the vaccine. The vaccines are leaky so a vaccine resistant mutation is quite likely

Journalists aren't renowned for getting their facts right

I love this quote from Jim Stynes. Maxy certainly does it his own way. Jim could tell Maxy would be different “Wouldn’t it be great to get someone who’s doing it a bit ... differently? I did it a bit differently – why can’t you? You’re a different sort of guy. You’re your own man,” encouraged the former champion, in his purring Irish brogue. “You do it your way, son.”

The calibre of our political elite isn’t great but by international standards we’ve done pretty well with respect to Covid. Yes there have been stuff-ups. The hotel quarantine debacle and slow vaccine roll-out the obvious examples but we’ve done much better than most. I will say that people are tired and angry (might explain why we’re all fired up here this morning). Going back to lock downs is not an option and I believe the protests will swell if the Vic govt tries to do so. A younger colleague of mine is struggling because his dad had a heart attack due to stress from trying to make ends meet. They own a restaurant. There are people who can’t have surgery or treatment for non-covid conditions. Psych wards have been flat out busy. I know people who attend the protests. One is an anti-vaxxer. His brain is addled but the others are normal people with genuine concerns for their businesses, their childrens education and the manner in which this new pandemic legislation is being bull dozed into law Covid is serious. I’m not trying the downplay it but there are other important issues as well. We seem to be fixated on Covid to the exclusion of all other concerns.

It is an early call. Way too early
He deserves a statue outside the G. The man's a genius
I thought Roos took the coin and left before the job was finished so I was dirty on him there for a few years. But there is no doubt he took over a rabble and instilled some defensive organisation and fortitude. His appointment signaled to the world that we were serious about finally getting our act together. We needed the gravitas and authority that only a Roos like figure could provide And he selected Goody, provided him with 2 years cover while he got to know the club and form relationships with the players. Roos handed over the reigns to Goody with a list and club that was in much better shape than when he took over. I don’t want to over-state his influence. Goody was absolutely the architect of our flag but Roos was critical in turning us from a basket case to a competent AFL team. Goody did the rest.
31,000 would be a poor show. We should be getting closer to 50,000.
Looks a very good prospect. I reckon this steal makes up for the loss of Mac Andrew. Swings and roundabouts
Fair point. I dislike Bruce as well but I agree if JVR produces Bruce 2021 like form we’ll be happy.
Looks a great prospect. Hopefully another JT special (although i wish fox hadn't compare him to Josh Bruce)
Mac Andrew to the Gold Coast. Bad luck for the kid. From a selfish perspective increases the chances of him coming home to us after 2 years or when the suns are disbanded
Great scenes as Jack Viney shows his Demons great dad the premiership cup
I reckon our performance from midway through the 3rd qtr in the the GF was the footy equivalent of Blitzkrieg
The poster who insisted he should be traded hasn't been heard from in a while. I can't remember his name
The bloke restructured the footy department, stuck fat with goody, brought in Yze and Williams, finally delivers a prem and you reckon we’re successful in spite of him Did he turn you down for a job, steal your girlfriend or kill your family pet?
I was a doubter at the end of 2020 but his goal kicking improved dramatically. Now a dead eye in front of goal. Great news that he has signed on for 5 years
People forget they finished 5th on the ladder. Rolls Royce midfield but defensively suspect. Unless they find some better defenders they can't win imv
I reckon the ladies will be inspired by what the men managed and will bring home the AFLW flag this year. They are definitely good enough to do it. What odds we win both mens and womens flags in 2022. We'd be the first club to do it. That would be amazing
