Stiff Arm

From today's Vic presser:

"Victorian health authorities say 41 of the state’s 57 new local coronavirus cases were detected as a result of day-13 quarantine tests."

57 cases. Won’t be out of lockdown before GF you wouldn’t think. 
 

😩😭

Today is day 14 since lockdown was announced. There's a bunch of schools where every kid and their families began 14 days at home that day due to being tier 1 exposure sites. Other large tier 1 sites were announced around that time too. Many 1000's of people. Yesterday, those who have been in 14 day home quarantine from that day (like me) had our compulsory day 13 covid tests.

It's possible that numerous asymptomatic people isolating at home have tested pos on day 13. Delta works in mysterious ways.

My guess is that as more fully vaxxed people catch covid but display no symptoms, we might find the 'known links' that tracers go on about become sketchier and harder to find.

But I'm no medico

Eddie to talk about this incident on FC on ch 9 in a couple of mins

Edit. Just Ed with his arms in the air wondering why little has been done about it. Lyon says its 1 or 2 weeks, but didn't know if there was more to the reason for  Daw's reaction

If we are to be training on Goshes in the years ahead, surely they would be looking at car par F rather than car park E?

Only makes sense if the Pies are looking to move away from olympic park oval in the next decade???

Any injuries? Saw Kozzie had some strapping on thigh at one stage

Somebody please sign Dogga up for a further 5 years.

This kids goanna have a stack of AAs by the end of that! 

Time to take off Max, Tracc, Oliver and Langers

All big oart of finals

Butts keeping close check on Brown's movements

Sparrow has to be out for Viney

For a guy who apparently can't play forward, Dogga has done ok of late!

End to end. Thanks Kozzie

Dogga in a rich vein of form for a 19 year old! Great tackle and goal

Do you want them to walk around in thongs and shorts ? It is their current uniform and has been for a number of years just the same as it was jungle greens for a large period of time. They are accompanying a police officer so police numbers are not overstretched.

Actually no, you are wrong. They are accompanying a Dept Health employee. 

Of course I'm not suggesting they wear shirts and thongs. You are being your usual obtuse and condescending self to suggest so. 

Army personnel wearing full camo gear walking residential streets is not a great message in a suburb with many migrant families from war-torn countries. That might be hard to understand from where you are, but not here.

Keep going by yourself if you must, I'm out.

IMO the AFL board wants North or Saints to move to Tassie. Of course they both will say "no way, no thanks!" but if push comes to shove, one of them may have no choice. The AFL can pull their licence. North have no cash or supporters, Saints have massive debts.

I think it will happen in stages. Eases the pain for the Vic club and supporters, allows Tassie to gradually plan their progress forward. For example, North still based at Arden St, but play 8-10 games in Tassie for a couple of years. Then a blue map of Tas is put on the front of jumper ('Tas govt sponsorship') surrounded by the blue/white stripes. Training gradually moves to Tas, as do players, coaches and admin. Eventually after 5-6 years, the NFC board agrees the club is to be named the Tasmania Kangaroos.

If he did, I think Weid would be telling his manager to get him out of the place.

Maybe he already has, Redleg

Just saying...

You seem sure of yourself.

The story isnt over for Sam. Id be surprised if they aren't initiating conversations.

Marc Murphy had the opportunity to play where his father John played at the Lions and balked.

Murphy's grandfather (Leo) played over 100 games for the Hawks as well.

I'm not so sure of anything Damo, but doubt Green's choice would be influenced much by who his Pop played for.

We shall see.

Perspective is important.

We've been relatively injury free this year, Thomo being the biggest loss. This hasn't always been the case in recent seasons.

If we lost a few players before finals, Smith would certainly get a game or 2

He's not a world beater, but he offers excellent depth in a variety of positions.

The Club has generally been good at drafting, recruiting and development since Goodwin took over. I trust their judgement.

Green will go to Richmond if anywhere. His grandfather Michael is in Tigers team of the Century and won 4 flags.

Sam Weideman says hi

Marc Murphy too

Agree.

Surely the ADF could play a role in that space. 

They're too busy knocking on residential front doors (like mine) to make sure we are home during 14 days iso. A necessary job, but not for army personnel in camo uniforms, particularly as many in my hood are migrants from war-torn countries. At least drop the silly camo clothes in a suburban street. But I digress...

IMO would be better placed at airports supporting permit checks, or at state border checkpoints

All this shows is that we are still a bunch of self interested colonies that do our own disjointed thing due to a massive vacuum of leadership by the Fed Govt

That's a job for RDB  and it will likely be the last chance for him as well so we better win.

Maybe Jones could walk him out to the dais

RDB or The Reverend

Would like Sharp from GCS

Aboriginal history is Australian history so i don't know why it wouldn't be thought in school

I studied Australian history right through to year 12 in the 1990's and there was almost no mention of Aboriginal history except as a side note to European colonialism.

I sure as hell hope it has changed.

Watching the 2020 draft night vision with Jason Taylor confident of Bowey's selection, and then the recent highlights clip confirms how good this young fella is going to be. Imagine him at the magical 100 game mark!

Our recruiting/drafting and player development over the last 3 years has been exceptional.
