Knee jerk lockdowns? What we now have in NSW is a direct result of NOT having a knee jerk reaction… I know what I’d prefer. I’d say that rather than being a knee jerk reaction, Vic and WA responses are a result of hard lessons learnt.

Fair enough; I didn’t have any issue with your opinion of him as an individual, but thought your targeting of his abilities as a player were way off the mark.

They are linked by the fact that none of them have anything in common… at all… in any way… nada… nothing

That’s being generous!

You don’t watch a lot of games other than Dees games, do you.

Yeah, that’s right… he only kicked those six goals and played a brilliant 300th game, because he wanted all of the attention ??. What a ridiculous comment! The guy is an absolute star!

Yeah! How dare they request that their home game be played at their home ground!! ???

I’m pretty sure we had one Bunnings store here in Sydney, listed as an exposure site a couple of weeks or so ago.

They are all drummers: B: Earl Young Mickey Hart Buddy Rich H/B: Phil Collins Travis Barker Moe Tucker C: Chester Thompson Elvin Jones Ginger Baker H/F: Pete Thomas Charlie Watts Cosy Powell F: Matt Cameron Max Roach Chad Smith R: Thomas Lee Clem Burke Mitch Mitchell I/C: Bill Ward Art Blakey Roger Taylor W.S. ‘Fluke’ Holland

I’m pretty sure that they were only available at the start of the season.

As someone residing in Sydney who paid for the GF Guarantee for my son and myself, I’m wondering what will happen if borders are closed and we cannot use them. It’s a bit of a worry.

I remember at one point in the telecast, they showed a guy with a kind of flame thrower, melting the ice forming on the concrete standing area as it was considered hazardous.

At the Shanghai, China game, I got to meet and chat with, at various times during the day, Lynden Dunn, Aaron Davey, Max Walker and David Neitz. A nice bunch of people.

Didn’t I hear one of the commentators last week say that Bedford is probably the number one small forward in the VFL? If that’s true, then I would expect them to persevere with him for a bit longer.

No one thinks that having Brown in the forward line has led to the mids kicking into the forwards with more confidence? The difference between this week and last week against GWS was chalk and cheese.

Maybe, but that 50 to give Kozzie a goal was not there. I thought they were off right from the start when they paid a mark when the ball traveled maybe 8m at best.

Do you ever comment on anything other than the umpires? They have been incompetent, yes, but not solely to the benefit of Port.

Ever since the dive that deprived the Socceroos of a spot in the semi-finals (or was it quarters?) at the World Cup, I cannot bring myself to support Italy.

Actually, as far as anti-authoritarianism goes, Melbourne was probably the worst as was evident in the demonstrations and actions of certain individuals early on in the piece, so I can't really agree with that part of your comment. We have had another 42 cases recorded today (40 community transmissions), but hopefully the message is getting through, as when I've had to go out for food supplies, I have noticed that probably 99% of the people are masked up, which restores my faith in people a little. My biggest issue with the powers that be is that Glad took so long to respond with a lockdown, particularly as she had the Victorian experience to draw upon; and never mind all of those private school kids getting Pfizer'd in what was *cough* a mistake... money talks. I got my first AZ jab at the beginning of June and will get my second at the end of August... apart from a little local soreness in my arm, I experienced no side affects at all. I noticed that they (the powers that be) are only just starting to talk about it now, but for the life of me, I cannot figure out why they haven't encouraged companies to do as they do with the flu jab, and have employees vaccinated on their premises; it's in their own interest to have all employees vaccinated, from a productivity perspective. From a personal position, I'm getting tired of watching my band's gigs getting cancelled... it's like a slow motion game of dominoes, where each lockdown extension announcement sees one or two more events cancelled. July was a pretty full month, and now, barring a miracle, it's pretty much a write-off!

A repeat of our effort in the loss to Adelaide.

I’d like to see Bedford come in for Kozzy this week… he’s earned his chance and Kozzy needs a break in the VFL; hopefully he’ll also take a break from believing the hype.

Nothing to say about his three goals?
