  1. Yep, we're all victims MD, fancy in this covid decimated world only having one vaccine, that stop you dying if you get COVID, to choose from. India must really feel for us. Perspective.
  2. I'm just fascinated that as people are in lockdown, business suffer, mental health increases and multiple other negative situations occur people can somehow focus on which vaccine the PM got. It's not even garnish. BTW, when senior pollies got the (wrong) vaccine, was AZ available, did we know of blood clots and what would the reaction have been if they'd refused to get the shot, got infected while parliment sat and the country was without government for weeks? Some might say "good thing". I could empathise with that!
  3. Yep, we're in lockdown and it's Scomo's fault because he had the wrong vaccine. Thanks, explains a lot.
  4. It's quite simple. There are more people than mRNA vaccines. It's critical that we get vaccinated to return to a normal life and save lives. So those that are in the (already) low risk bracket get AZ and those in the low but slightly higher risk get mRNA, Your attitude means these lockdowns will likely go on for many more months than necessary if those that can safely get vacinnated don't. We live in a community and what we do is important to that community.
  5. My mate said it well. “Skunk”.
  6. No need to read it Jimmy.
  7. Many thanks KC. Is Barry up on the GC permanently now? His reports from Sandy were second to none, you excepted of course.
  8. How many listed players did Geelong have?
  9. Yeh, seven out of seven. Goodwin and the FD have no idea!
  10. My favourite character? Freddy64. Legend.
  11. Take it or leave it, I really don't care. I've got plenty of evidence but I don't intend to share it. Those that know me here will most likely accept my version. I'm happy for you to have a different view.
  12. I don't expect you to believe me Dazzle but that's spin from Roos. He was pushed.
  13. I take a different view. Howe was effectively sacked, he wanted to stay and we said no. I don't think May was in the same position but I don't know what GCS's attitude was. Like it or not I don't think we handled the Howe situation well at all so I think Howe had good reason to feel hurt by what happened and hence probably didn't feel the need to say nice things about us. And his quip about small crowds was a funny one liner. People have thin skins. If you were the supporter of another club you'd just laugh because it was a reasonably funny comment. Perhaps he shouldn't have made it, perhaps we shouldn't be such snowflakes.
  14. The irony CC is that posters here cry out for rumours, particularly around trade time! Of course what happens is if you are wrong they turn on you because they are disappointed. It would also seem posters don't understand that situations change. And don't worry about Dazzle. He knows a bit about footy but his one wood is potting posters. If you're not included you're not relevant.
  15. We wouldn't trade for him because we don't need him now but it's a myth he left for money. He wanted to stay at MFC with his mates but we didn't want him. That may or may not have been justified but the decision was ours, he didn't walk out. Secondly anyone who thinks he's not a really good player is building a rhetoric to lessen the disappointment of him leaving. He is a fantastic player and had he not suffered injury would probably have been AA. He's one of my favourite players to watch outside MFC. Skill, poise and plays the game in the way it should be played.
  16. I watched the segment but I doubt I ever will again. I think Trac was confused by Robbo's rambling. It was hard to detect if there was a question there and if there was it was, sort of, "did you know Dusty was on the ground and did you know where he was"? I think Trac was so stunned at such a dumb question he wondered whether he'd misinterpreted it and hence his bemused look and hesitant answer. Robbo is just so awful.
  17. From The Age ”But the players will be given exemptions to train and play within that two-week period and next weekend’s clash in Tasmania against the undefeated Demons will go ahead as scheduled.”
  18. Yes, I fumbled round and did it. The ticket I received said the game starts at 3.00pm and all other info says 2.00pm.
  19. Do I need to buy a ticket online for the Casey game or just turn up and buy a ticket?
  20. I don't often participate in these sort of discussion but really what's the point in being a footy supporter if you don't let yourself enjoy the good times? And as a club we have to maximise the commercial advantages and being in the press is a large part of that. We'll lose games this season and it will be disappointing. That's footy. But we are genuine participants this year, that's great.
  21. So many players, so few spots........
  22. Did we discuss Sam Weideman in this thread?
  23. So maybe 2019 was worth it after all?
