CHANGES: Rd 02 vs Gold Coast
Itās not a tear that needs to heal. The tear actually āreleasesā the painful area of the plantar fascia (big sheet of connective tissue on the sole of the foot) and given it settles over a few days, away you go. As has been mentioned, itās a good thing.

POSTGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs
Underselling him I reckon, CBF. Next to May, he was clearly our best defender. Just made himself a certainty for next week, and if he stays fit, likely the season.

Bevo unleashes on Tom Morris
This is where it really became a sh*tshow! In essence heās saying that Tom Morris barracking for MFC means heās conspiring to damage the Bulldogs. This is frankly first order āsore loserā stuff, and a shameful embarrassment to the club and his team. If Bevoās not well, and itās perilously close to appearing that way, then he genuinely needs help. Otherwise this is a disgraceful performance from someone whose job requires much higher standards. I abhore gutter journalism. Tom Morris was just doing his job.

Vale Shane Warne
Next to Richard Hadlee, my favourite bowler to watch, ever. Riveting. For all the tabloid waffle, seemed to live like he really loved life, and had a reputation for being the most generous competitor on the playing field. RIPā¦

COVID Disruptions 2022
The sad truth, binman, is that āpersonal experienceā, which is the very definition of āanecdoteā, will always defeat science in the minds of some, albeit as you say, a gratefully lower number in Australia than US. Science is theory and observation made specific, analytical, reproducible practice. For those unfamiliar with its methods, thatās an unknown, elusive thing, thus mysterious, untrustworthy. āWhat theyāre telling me canāt be true, because my mates and their mates and family have had ātheseā experiencesā will always defy the rigour and analysis than some donāt/canāt/donāt want to try to understand. I take heart in the fact that Australia, objectively more than any other country (Vax rates) rejects this approach.

Artistic licence definitely allows me to glorify somewhat. š. Interestingly, BBB has exceptional muscle definition, perhaps more than any player at the club. Not biggest, but most delineated. Naturally low subdermal fat. Heās a physio studentās āsurface anatomyā dream, basically. Youāll also note, no disrespect to Clarryās attributes, that Iāve made him a better looking rooster than nature has otherwise determined. Still him, but dare I say more handsome.

COVID Disruptions 2022
Asymptomatic Covid population (much more likely in the Vaccinated) are less likely to transmit the virus. Herewith Lancet journal article detailing such⦠https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanepe/article/PIIS2666-7762(21)00059-4/fulltext The āvaccinatedā are thus less likely to spread the virus. Science.

Docklands Stadium Makeover
Yep. First time I ever went, on a visit home from the UK, I was flabbergasted that you couldnāt see all of the ground in a stadium supposedly dedicated to Australian Footy. Wouldnāt that be the absolute first priority? Did some architect just say āthatās alright, they can always just watch the big screenā.? Itās a heartless, claustrophobic wind-tunnel with rubbish turf.

PREGAME: Community Series vs Carlton
The pathological hatred MM has for the Dees verges on laughable. I suspect if you asked him, heād have some explanation for how we stole the Premiership last year, didnāt really deserve it, wonāt be much chop this yearā¦.blah blah blah. To say he lacks credible objectivity is voicing the bleeding obvious.

GAMEDAY: AFLW Rd 07 vs Brisbane Lions
18 contested marks in the competition this year. Next best = 9. Sheās a star, and proof (as if it was needed) that a happy footballer is a better footballer.

Ben King Out for 2022 Season
Bad luck for Max King, but thatās footy, sadly (just ask the women, with ACL ruptures more this year than any before). As a likely 40-50 goal forward, the Suns couldnāt afford to lose him, and this will force the end of Stuart Dewās tenure. As a cheeky tie-in to this weekās āBIG NEWS STORYā (according to the Herald-Sun), this is why coaches get so stressed/anxious/angry about injury situations and are thus inclined to take it out on medical staff. Their jobs/careers simply depend on players being fit.

COVID Disruptions 2022
I keep coming across twenty-somethings whoāve tested positive then had either āno symptomsā or a couple of days cough. When I ask those if it was like the flu, they reply it was more like āa coldā. Different for different age-groups of course, but thereās undoubtedly a high number of those whoāve had the virus but havenāt been recorded as such. We are rapidly heading for endemic stage. Boosters will evolve to strain specificity, such as Pfizerās āOmicron boosterā currently in the works. Treatments for the āillnessā will also evolve and improve. Putting aside the inexplicable attitude toward vaccines by some (a fractional percentage in Australia, thankfully), and the developed worldās greed-fuelled neglect of vulnerable countries, the global response to this pandemic is remarkable. Far from what it could be obviously, but compared to its obvious precedent, the Spanish Flu, remarkable nonetheless. All we need do now is redirect our vocational values system toward health and community (hospital staff on garbage wages are currently being slaughtered), and away from its frank obsession with āwealth accumulationā, and the futureās looking bright.
