Demon Dynasty

Thank the Lucifer for Harmes tonight...been pretty bloody good

Boy do we have some shiiitt set shot goal kickers

I love Vander's effort but not the outcomes so much 🥴

Speak of the devil Deaver. Always happens like that. Finally someone took the game on and Kozzie goes hard also. Now for Lucifer's sake bring the [censored] white line fever in the second half and stop playing like a bunch of teletubbies!

We are playing like we are trying to save the game from the 2nd quarter lol. You won't win very many matches using that method unless you bring immense pressure. Rubbish footy.

We are continually kicking it to the boundary of the pocket rather than just inside about 10 meters or so making it too easy for the Eagles to defend! We just don't know how to play greasy tough wet weather footy very well under any sort of pressure. Too fumbly and not enough link up run and carry. Our last kick inside 50 is [censored] awful most of the time.

Seriously dumb play. Max also getting beaten by Nic Nat far too easily and we are far too often being lead to the ball at stoppages. They are also playing in front forward of center almost always. They recognise the value of this basic strategy when it's wet. Wow ball ofd the side of Gus's boot and that's insufficient intent!??

Was that Tom Brown on 7 saying the AFL might scrap the last two rounds and bring the buy and finals foward?

Reckon the Weid Dazzle unless it's absolutely pissing down

Two inexplicable free kicks that nearly turned the game against Essendrug. He is Def a protected species which is why we need to ensure we get either hibb and / or Harmes into ripping 'lockdown' form coming into finals for when we meet this tin [censored] mob.

Many are not 'choosing' of their own accord though TU. They are looking for guidance from more learned / trusted authorities such as their GP and/or ATAGI etc. Certainly not politicians or Health Officers appointed by / for / on behalf of politicians who may or may not be independent of the political mechanations. And in some cases that advice is suggesting they seek to obtain one vaccine over another, depending on age and / or pre-existing conditions, based on latest available data/research. If some are unable to obtain Pfizer (to this point) due to supply issues and that is the preferred / advised course of action (after they sought the advice) then remaining unvaccinated until now is hardly their fault, nor one to be victimised or punished over surely. And not just Pfizer. AZ is apparently in limited supply in Brissy and local surrounds possibly in part because of certain political biases / preferences.

ATAGI in the Australian science community is considered bullet proof from political influence / persuasion also. At least until Scomo decided to take to them with a baseball bat recently. They apparently leave no stone unturned and will not let anything pass the approval stage without full assessment and scrutiny. Obviously i would be going to my GP as first port of call but ATAGI guidance (aside from the variation issued post Scomo badgering) is also a solid reference point.

The age of innocence! Love it

While there could be a number of factors coming in to play that effect this result, such as natural immunity from prior infection to Alpha etc, on the surface this data from San Diego appears fairly promising for effectiveness vs Delta.

All's well that ends well Mr Old. Put your feet up and enjoy those pancakes! Well i will be anyway 😄

Melk's usual output is just not AFL worthy. He will need to lift substantially to be included from week to week including connecting with targets inside while also pushing forward. Impacting with pressure acts / tackling (especially with no Viney here) and on the scoreboard. For our sake i really hope he does as he just might be the missing silk we need coming out of mid field and around the arc. Connecting with the likes of BB, Macca & Fritta also.

To clarify Kent, are you saying very few autopsies during the pandemic?

Thought we'd recruited one of the seven dwarves or a teletubby for a minute there

I think you have failed to read all of mine D9. Governments have been using the fear mechanism on the masses for many decades now. Covid could be a major issue here if we were a 3rd world country but we aren't. That doesn't mean we can't empathise and maybe even assist our fellow man. Some of whom live under worse conditions than ourselves, whether it be Covid or other reasons such as hunger, poverty, political persecution etc. Anyway we can at least agree on one thing...we are both bemused by each other's posts ...at least to date! 😄 Back to the footy...on a good note...the Cats just lost!

Professor Crotty's explanation of mRNA technology in this Q&A might be helpful BB. He is one of the RNA industry 'go toos' and was referred to me by a scientist working for Peter Mac at the time. Posting some interesting updates /info on Twitter also...

What are you scared of D9? We are living in the lucky country. I am merely pointing out how bad it is outside of Oz in some places. We are super lucky to have the resources/technology and infrastructure we have. I actually agree to a point and this pic highlights how well we are doing and how, in some cases, certain pollies are going over the top with their alarmist diatribe. When in fact we are, relatively speaking, in an amazing position without too much to worry about in most (but not all) cases....at least prior to Delta (see below). We also have access to so much high quality PPE (if we choose to use it ...not including the surgical masks we see being worn so much which provide very little protection vs more effective respirator alternatives) both personally and in a health aged care worker/ hospital / ambo sense. Having said that we do need to recognise that the Delta variant is a step up from all other variants and is almost a new version of Covid that requires a different method of curtailing until a large percentage (approx 80%?) of the population are fully vaccinated...

Latest FDA /CDC advice (rightly or wrongly) says no need for booster shots post 2 vaccine shots at this point in time. Where are you getting the Pfizer wearing off quicker than AZ evidence from and Pfizer struggling against Delta? There is prelim evidence that Delta is a fitter virus and efficacy is lower against this variant but my understanding is this is the case with all vaccines to this point (to various degrees of course and the outcomes vary with each study). My understanding is there is no peer reviewed hard evidence to suggest this albeit some prelim studies are indicating Moderna might be holding a higher efficacy but still very early days and too early to say with any certainty. It is worth noting that Pfizer is putting together an updated vaccine specific to Delta with trials commencing sometime this month. There is also prelim evidence (not peer reviewed etc) suggesting that two doses of AZ followed by an mRNA booster is producing some amazing efficacy results, even against the delta variant.

I am referring to the incidents of critical cases or death from TTS following AZ shots in Oz DC

Keep in mind deaths per Vax using AZ rate only takes into account those deaths confirmed as AZ related via official autopsy results. While we have no way of knowing, certain family members / religions / races may not give consent to autopsy following death.
