They did on Kayo.

Not the rule. If the game is past halfway, team in front as the scores are when called off are the winners.

No doubt. That’s not why it’s a ridiculous comment. Gawn was huge that quarter.

As the ump said, it was a coat hanger. And yet Yeo not only deliberately and obviously retarded Kossie getting up, but kept shaking his head at the decision. Home ground Eagles know they can exert this kind of influence over the umpires, and it will ultimately work for them. If I was an umpire, that kind of stuff would sh** me blind. I just don’t understand how they’re so easily swayed.

Ridiculous comment.

It’s disgraceful umpiring, but we know that’s 90% odds-on to happen over there, worth about 6 goals a game. The bigger question is why we’re slowing the game down at the wrong times. No run-past, no quick decision making to expose their lack of speed. They also beat us in contested ball that quarter. Don’t correct that, we don’t win, particularly not with their crowd umpire advantages. Simples.

50/50 for me. Much depends on the umps being influenced, or not, by crowd. Our best beats their best every other day, all things being equal.

Are they allowed full capacity crowd at Optus?

In strict biological terms, we can’t Luci, so we manage it. Like the seasonal flu - we all get yearly (or whatever is recommended) boosters. Treatments will also improve - specific anti-virals, advanced medication cocktails (that doesn’t mean Hydroxychloroquine or Ivermectin!). It’s here forever, we just need to use science and education to consolidate understanding and create compliance. None of this reality is being delivered to the public, however. The majority are still under the illusion that COVID will ‘go away’, or die. It will not. Ever.

Precisely the same as the Fritsch incident and appeal….must get off.

Shhhhh….

This. Should’ve been laying the foundations the moment it became ‘pandemic’. As a vaccine anecdote, I was quizzing a 17 year-old patient this week (2 days per-lockdown) how he would feel about getting the jab if a ‘vaccine bus’ just turned up at his school and all the kids were just marched through and injected (his mum and I had jabs administered this way in Primary school). He said he’d get it of course, then told me about his best mate who decided to go off to the Exhibition Building hub, and demand a vaccine, which he did….AZ, cos it was a quicker process. Did all the informed consent, done. I asked the boy if he was going to do likewise….he replied ‘maybe’, but his mate said it was a bit painful in the arm. 😖. As is the modern way, there’s way too much discussion of choice going on - an extension of spurious arguments for individual liberties that in this case obscure the truth that lives and deaths and the health of broader society is at play. This is not the approach we need to quell a pandemic. It’s a [censored]ing [censored] in the arm, FFS. Get it done.

What is your history? Have you discussed its relevance to the AZ risk of thrombocytopenia with your doctor? If it’s a history of clotting/DVT, it’s highly unlikely that you’re any more at risk with AZ vaccine, but you’d need to ASK AN EXPERT, AND LISTEN (a behaviour in short supply these days).

Pants on fire…

And that’s not even talking about the reduction in illness/symptomatic presentation.

So true deanox. A more capable government would positively override those misinterpretations.

Excellent again gents, ta. Very calming, informative interview.

Yep. Reduces risk of death, and even hospitalisation to something like the level of the common cold. If, and it’s an almighty ‘if’, given the level of selfish ignorance out there as fertilised by Sky News (thank you YouTube), we get to 80% vaccination and open up completely, the virus will duly run through us all, like the cold. Most of us won’t know we’ve got it or get symptoms, but we will be infectious (to varying levels). Those unvaccinated will remain of course as ‘at risk’ as they are now - fit young people can and do die from COVID. Future boosters will be mandatory (the talk is currently 6 monthly). As the months and years tick by, both treatment methods and vaccine efficacy will improve (though the virus evolve, so this remains a challenge, like flu vaccines), but the world from now until ever will simply ‘live with the virus’. It’s important for people to realise its NEVER going to go away, just like the flu, the current version of which is of course a generational relation to the ‘Spanish Flu’. I would’ve hoped a responsible, apolitical government during a crisis would start informing its people of these truths, at least to create vaccine compliance and understanding. Oh well…..

And your ignorance speaks volumes.

Traumatic vertebral artery dissection is more common than just Phil Hughes, sadly. Very dangerous area.

Without sounding unreasonably dramatic, but it should be realised - by Jack Viney if no one else, grinding someone’s neck with your elbow right under the base of the skull is tempting injury to the vertebral artery, which can and often does cause an instant bleed to the brain. A mate of mine died 6 months ago from such a vertebral artery ‘dissection’, as did the cricketer Phil Hughes. What JV did, and deliberately, is beyond stupid.

Just saw the Viney offence on AFL website. Absolutely a d***head act, however much Collins may or may not have deserved it. Will be made an example of, and he’s got no room to argue. Idiotic behaviour, and he needs to own it.

This is just presumptive nonsense.

Who is Victoria?
