Premiership Tales
Interesting, Spargo comes across as being more mature than what I'd imagined. Though they all do. There's obviously a pattern to the drafting etc. the past few years. Todd Viney's influence?

COVID & AFL 2021
Clear that more people aren't adhering to the rules, but the lockdown is working. If not, you could add at least a zero to those case numbers, and similar for deaths.

COVID & AFL 2021
Employees in all these places have some kind of pass-checking app on their phones. The rest of us have an app that stores/displays a QR code with your vaccination status. So yes, a digital certificate, and while each country has their own app, the certificates all follow the same format and can be validated/read anywhere in the EU.

Been plenty of times when we were locked down here and I looked with envy at Victorians out and about ... but yes, wonderful. Hang in there.

2021 Player Reviews: #2 Nathan Jones
Body let him down in the end. Heart and soul player, hope he stays around the club in some capacity.

COVID & AFL 2021
Northener here: getting nippy in the mornings, but not yet winter. We're holding up OK for the moment. This time last year we were just heading into a lockdown that basically lasted until May. Vaccines work.

COVID & AFL 2021
Plain old normal? I'm in Europe (France), so a bit further down the track on this than Oz. Through a big stick approach we've managed to get vax up over 90% of most of the adult pop, kids over 12 rapidly catching up. We're currently at under 5K cases a day nationally, which is about as low as it's been for 18 months, though tragically, still losing 30+ people a day. Here's what we live with to keep those figures down: - Masks in all enclosed spaces, public transport etc. etc. Includes private spaces (work etc.). - Anywhere people come together, whether it's restaurants, theatres/cinemas, sports stadiums or sports facilities in general (gyms), and any long-distance travel, you can't get in without a vaccine pass: vaccinated or recent negative test. You can't even sit outside at a cafe without one, and people in all these places have a scanner on their phone that verifies the code that you have on your phone. - Most school kids are still having to mask, though that's being eased for younger kids in areas with very low cases - Many shops are still restricting number of people inside at any time and "number allowed" is often displayed outside - Social distancing is still practised, and enforced in some circumstances. e.g., most shops where you have to queue have marks on the floor, 1m apart. - Hospitals and places where there are vulnerable people are insisting not just on being vaxed, but having a negative test as well. etc. etc. "Normal", but the vast majority accept it as the price to pay for living with the "pandemic that won't last forever".

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
There's an interview with Burgess somewhere where he addresses it - they were just discussing rotations.

Welcome to Demonland: Luke Dunstan
But isn't that the point - that Dunstan is a first-string midfielder and the others aren't?

Roosy Talks about the Grand Final
Re Goodwin: "The members get a bit annoyed by him and media, because heās very much one message in his press conferences and quite monotone ā he just tells the media that one line that protects all his players. I think that builds trust. We got challenged in all of our finals at different points and we were able to respond with massive quarters. I think it comes off the back of him telling us how theyāre challenging us and how to fix it, really cool, calm and quickly, so his on-field stuff is superb. But donāt underestimate how much batting for your players externally builds trust, especially with the young guys."

Kate Roffey, the unsung hero of our success
Perhaps. But not in public. Which the club and other members of the Board understood ... was the beginning of the end for Glenn.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Really important to acknowledge just how %^&*)!!! good ALL the role-players were. Tom Mac had a quiet day, but still popped up for 2 goals and his determined push on Cordy to make sure the Sparrow goal went through was but one of any number of acts that don't even register on the stats but contributed to the victory. But agree on Sparrow, a real coming of age, especially when he was in/out of the team throughout the year.

Perhaps in terms of on-field play (though what other kind is there), but it was more along the lines that McCartney got him thinking about taking his football and his career seriously.

POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs
Yes, what a week indeed. But house prices in rural France have jumped post Covid, everyone wants out of their 45 m2 in the bigger cities.

AFL TRADE NEWS AND RUMOURSĀ
Absolutely, but in the Clarry interview, he gives credit to Brendan McCartney. Can't forget the contribution of players like Bernie Vince, Daniel Cross or of course, Jordan Lewis. It's a long list. All goes back to Roos and Jackson, and what has been built over years, plus the increasing maturity of the players.
