I wonder how many more would die if there were no vaccine? My post was in response to a question about whether the injection works.

So not having the cattle was the reason some of our players had a cold?

When was the last time someone you knew died of the flu? 95% of the time when people talk about a flu, they mean the common cold, for which there is no preventative injection.

I thought Michie was okay today.

6. Hogan 5. Dawes 4. Viney 3. Tyson Thought these were the clear top 4. Found voting very difficult after this. 2. Howe 1. Cross Edited several hours later to reverse Viney and Tyson order. Not sure why I had them in the order I did as I thought Viney was clearly our best mid.

After the first quarter, I thought it was an entertaining game. Loved the Dawes show in the second quarter and the Hogan show throughout. Viney our best mid for mine, with Tyson getting some mojo back. Lots of uncharacteristically crud performances from the likes of Jonesy and Bernie. H is currently behind Grimes for mine and should have his spot under threat when Salem is ready. Won't happen though. I walked away just regulation disappointed, much like the QB match. No red mist here today.

Well said. I find it really sad when people can't see the human aspect to footy. It was a touching gesture by his teammates. Ability to get back on the footy field has nothing to do with what this thread is about.

I had the same thought at half time about how they had been winning despite playing terribly. Their game against GWS was on par with ours against Brisbane. They were putrid last night though. Glad Adelaide finally kicked on; the difference could easily have been 100+.

The banner and general fuss was Gawn's idea apparently.

I'm not, it's a bogus selection. Both Jamar and Fitzy have equal chance of playing. The only genuine possibility of playing from those ins is Newton IMO.

Not a bullseye, but at least he hit the target with that one. It goes without saying that the fresh air shots with the early picks hurt.

Hah, I highly doubt it. I hope she has higher standards than that.

People were already writing the history as it was happening Bossdog. Some decided in 2001 that Green was soft and couldn't let go of it despite the evidence. He was no inside player, for sure, but he put his body on the line when it was required. He took some amazing marks going back with the flight when he was playing as a mid in the later years.

I know two, and one of them is currently behind bars. So yep, just one to wear the brunt here too.

Newton going okay at Casey.

thumbsdown

Funding player brawls. Hmm. I admit I enjoyed the Jones wrestle, but I am very uncomfortable with this idea.

You used punctuation. You suck at this game.

I'm more of a great team with heaps of AA's, myself.

I don't think this view holds water anymore. That No. 1 draft picks should become stars is a view that belongs in 2000 I think. There have just been way too many of them that haven't for me to be able to hang on to that idea. There is obviously a higher probably of yielding a star with the first pick, but a failure to do so doesn't make the player unworthy. We all hoped that Jack would become elite. We're all disappointed that he hasn't. I think you need to adjust your expectations and valuation of what No. 1 draft picks should be though. They're no less of a lottery than any number pick in the draft. You said yourself he's showing he will probably be valuable going forward - in a lottery that is a good result. Not the best, but good, and certainly better than dud, mistake etc.

To be fair, it doesn't say anything about leaving for better pay.

$1000 fine for Jones for wrestling. Money well spent I reckon.

Is there some reason to doubt that he will, other than the fact that he hasn't yet? Just wondering if I've missed something or if this is just the usual "how could anyone possibly love us?" self-flagellation type stuff.

It was more aimed at monoccular, though it was more out of general frustration as it's not the first time this has come up. Probably an overreaction though, so apologies to all for that. I'll remove Dick (only with a capital 'D') from the censored list, and add that other word for you all.

Words can be added or removed from the censor list at will, but it is a very manual task. Whoever wrote the list (which is just one we downloaded off the internet somewhere) obviously hadn't come across the word s-storm before and had problems with people using Richard in an abusive context. Lots of other 's' words are in there, but every possibility needs to be in there for it to work, as it doesn't partially match words (otherwise it would censor "parse", for example). I know it's silly at times, but all you need to do is have an adult conversation with me about it instead of tantruming in the middle of threads and I'll do something about it.
