dpositive

Kev your original and some following comments were correct. BUT it is a very nuanced observation. There are many features of the exercise which we are all still unsure of and indeed like any comments need to be taken in context and awareness of intent. You are dead right about the need for positive behaviour and attitude to be displayed as an instinctive action. There is nothing worse than the bowed head, the hands on hips , knees etc.There is also the need for disappointment and negative reality displayed at times so the context must always be considered. i have adopted the name dpositive for that reason and hope I always offer positive support, I do so in advising you to give up. It was a good point well put you don't have to justify it any further.

Gee PF the problem isn't the govt specialists giving advice it's the action they should be taking. i cannot envisage any circumstance where any authority in Vic health would say "no way Hosea" without some reason. As a public servant they are responsible for their decisions. I would have thought your history of DVT is the first and most important reason why you should get the correct vaccine that does not have any adverse effect. It's the reason why all advice is to see your GP (which you seem to have done). However if there are no supplies of the vaccine that may be a reason for no way but I still believe that in that case they would give you an appointment. Vulnerable people should be vaccinated first. Healthy people with limited contacts can be done later.

Fritsch should nail them? Perhaps if he was kicking from the correct pocket! He does always seem to be lining up from the wrong pocket for a left footer.

And fair enough. Although when will he be played/lead to the correct pocket for a left footer.?

There's a certain correct logic in what you say. Provided you limit your contacts to similar local contacts, wear mask if no social distance, basic sanitation and you are not vulnerable to the disease there is less risk. You are a little remote from major health service but also should have access to any required if you get ill. Our health service has plenty of capacity and lots of ability. The vaccine does not stop spread it merely diminishes illness affects which in itself reduces spread. It could equally be discovered that people with symptoms isolating themselves may have the same limiting effect. There is still a long way to go with this disease especially when we see overseas experiences. The fact that we are not insisting on any travellers coming to Australia being vaccinated and tested negative, a basic quarantine facility , is crazy. id vote for any govt that admitted this is a health issue and has invested in improved tracking tracing and treating resources so we can all go about a normal life with no lockdowns or restrictions to gathering and movement required. No need for blanket testing, but targeted spot treatment. All needs a targeted vaccine where vulnerable people are all totally vaccinated, frontline transport, health and people in contact with volumes of strangers have vaccinated. oh well there's not much point in going on about it we have incompetents running the systems and we will all show the resilience they go on about and make the most of the life we have. Stay well, stay safe and go Dees.

Yes was there and agree totally. But he did not always run to the correct delivery spot and I thought at some stages he was merely taking two defenders out of he action. Our midfielders did not seem to be delivering very well. We we're close to the pickets Row G and could really only watch him at the Randwick end. The whole game was a disaster. Was there with a swannies supporter who really wanted us to win and did have ademons hat on so took the comments of the Pies supporters with us. He felt we just did not handle the small ground.He sees a lot of games there and works for Zurich hence the keen support. He reckons Forwards weren't running to wrong spots but our delivery was to the wrong spots. couldnt see a lot of the action at the other end so was just bitterly disappointed after what had been a great visit to the beautiful city so not a complete waste. I reckon the Sydney supporters don't know how to barrack and I have a lot more respect for the energy that the MCG cheer squad generate. It was difficult trying to inspire the players and the Pies supporterscertainly found voice once they hit the front. There were several Mark , ball, etc decisions that seemed to be affected by the crowd roar. Our supporters were more spectators. I tried to generate some support was only in one stand. Felt we lost it down the other end.

Don't think he's proved anything yet. Too slight for FF. He has shown rucksack Ng talent similar to Jackson but Jackson is the real deal on baller. LJ would struggle holding down FF. BB has shown he can hold that position, slightly heavier, faster and experienced, he as proven that.

May was definitely standing Elliott when he was in front of us at the Randwick end. It was an obvious mismatch of size but Elliott was not able to use any speed advantage so it worked but May dropped a couple and fumbled uncharacteristically. He did take the first grab in the mark thar Cameron was paid but he was not directly standing him. Elliott certainly got away from him in Third quarter.He stood Mihohek a few times. Our defence did seem to hold positions while Pies forwards rotated. The subsequent confusion created was responsible for the looseness that led to goals. But the defence did not lse the game. Our forwards lost it and their defence won it through better marking and distribution.

I like Chookrat comment. Good time to offer him a low price 3 year category as our future KPF to play and develop at Casey until he is ready and one of TMac or BB go down. On current form it is unlikely that any club will offer a big contract. He's really not showing any big time attributes. Needs much more development. Saw him in Sydney ran under the ball, ran to wrong spots, easily brushed aside. Bulk him up and get him to demand the ball through performance.

Thanks H Wasnt sure which Humphries it was. It did bring back many memories of a hedonistic past.Your also right I can recall Coodabeens usual demon stereotyping. I must admit that I am creeping slowly towards it. Going to Sydney on Saturday, may check out the snow Saturday. Retirement has opened up many opportunities that were denied while running a seven day week retail business. I always informed others that Demons scarves were well in the minority on chair lifts. It will be interesting to see how f current success brings them out.

Just doing a little bit of business for the old man . Great get H. Was it Gerry Humphris?

I attempted and was timed out. My steam driven computer, remote location NBN and general brain dysfunction contributes to this circumstance often.

Weid I see the future, he's still only 24. Back to Casey to continue his development. His best returns have been as a deep forward converting the upfield work of Brown and Mac in some cases. He can rove around and has been competitive in ruck. He is similar to LJ in stature, mobility and flexibility, but should be developed to replace BB orTMac TMac and Brown is the now. Both roving to the wing to create competition and entry points into the deeper forward position . if one is out the other should be back. They should not be competing together, one takes an opponent out of the contest. Kossie Fritta etc feed off their contests . If BB or TMac is injured or drops form for 3 games Weid straight in otherwise he stays at Casey. He can return for finals to give chop out or different structure if required. Weid gets told he is the future of a premiership winning decade and if he chooses to go to another club he will be replaced to ensure that success is continued. He will move to a club that will not beat a now substantial club. Just as Petty has been promoted from the future, Tomlinson will replace him when fit. May will be replaced Petty, Hore and Casey players will eventually replace him. Casey is the development base for the future to complement the stars recruited and drafted. This adds to the brilliant base we have assembled. There are many routes to success we finally seem to have a greater ability to exploit them.

I would prefer the health experts talking of a health response beyond a lockdown. This has become the go to knee jerk response since the economic response was so successfully introduced because our health system was to be "overwhelmed". This was based on overseas models and our limited availability of respirators. Once our capacity of respirators was improved and our intensive bed numbers including private beds was acknowledged, the Australian health system has not been appropriately recognised or utilised and has certainly not been overwhelmed. i would have preferred our politicians to recognise the pandemic as a health issue not an economic and political issue and acknowledge that our health system can identify, track and trace, treat and monitor those affected. Vaccination in a planned fashion through first responders and most vulnerable with quarantine facilities to contain are the most important feature of the treating of the pandemic. The reality that we have been having large numbers attend football with no recognised spread and yet one person can spread the virus so easily shows the virulence of this variance of the disease. it is why we must take the comments of the experts seriously, but I believe we should give them other tools particularly a capable health quarantine facility and appropriate vaccination, rather than wholesale community disruption of lockdowns

Well not sure it's always so clear cut. My sister believes it's due to difficulty with getting releases signed by medical trustees. As there were supply problems I did not want to get mine until the front line , quarantine, etc staff and the most vulnerable older and disabled etc. had their jab. I also believe incoming from overseas should not just be tested but should have the vaccine. I was under treatment and was concerned about side effects etc, I am now scheduled for mine but still find it crazy that others more vulnerable don't have theirs.

I think very state has had some sort of outbreak. As the largest economy our density and activity levels are higher. We have more reliance on public transport than other capitals. I think we are testing greater numbers and have had more problems with receiving and distribution of vaccines. There seems to be a knee jerk reaction and response system. The lock down has been identified as the best solution. There has never been a recognition that this is a health issue and our health system needed to be adjusted to be fit for the changed demands.

Despite many weeks of thousands of spectators attending games and travelling on public transport to get there we have a lock down due to one person coming in to the country. That this one case has led to multiples cases does show the potential extent of the spread and the virulence of this virus. it would be good if we had an effective quarantine system in place. Our tracking and tracing has improved although we are still only told of cases with no emphasis on severity. The tracking and tracing is supported by an effective vaccination program . It is disappointing there is a case from a Nursing home staff member when this sector including residents are the most vulnerable and should be vaccinated. The vaccination does not stop spread and only decreases the effect of the symptoms therefore helping reduce spread as shown overseas. Our health system should be recognised as having the ability to identify and treat this health problem. Not only tracking and tracing source but treating the severity and increasing vaccination to most vulnerable, not just testing many unaffected. We nowhave capacity deal with intensive cases while also monitoring less severe cases. While lockdowns limit spread, the actions of our population in adhering to separation, registration and sanitation measures, has also shown some effectiveness..

Too many justifiable reasons. We are happy to play any team anywhere any time.

I saw Brown and Weid in Richmond reserves match aand they combined well. Weid plays the deep forward Brown and Tmac are competing for the spot that moves around, creates space, contests and takes two defenders. TMac was so mobile last week and almost every game this year that he was taking the ball on the wing and even in half back. How about we put him on the wing to do that Tomlinson link role and have Bbtake the TMac key CHF role rotating with Weid and LJ. Dont know what I'd do when Lingers returns.

We should definitely refer to the AFL. We are a club that should alert the AFL, other clubs, umpires and supporters that we will not be treated lightly. We will not roll over and continue to accept poor decision making. We will not accept it lightly from our players and will not accept it from others. We will respect and accept rules and practices but always strive for the right and best actions to be taken. We need to be consistent and send this attitude to our players.

Had trans mission issue and could only listen to the game in the car with SA callers. They stated sometime during the coverage that there would need to be police protection for the umpires if decisions were wrong, joked that there should be one for Lever. The crowd noise influences some umpires. The Collingwood cries at Grundy were obvious but he tripped himself up and the Port guy fell on hm when he was tripped by that action .Umpire not game to pay the free for Port perhaps just let it go. our game is a difficult one to umpire and perhaps it is time to increase technology or use boundaries and goal umpires better. Better education and training, make it a full time career. Surely the industry could bear this cost.

Just got the advice from the club. Sent before I had posted. Well done. $130 seems pretty steep I hope it doesn't discourage purchases.

Thanks for that. I just hope it is selling at a price that the whole supporting community can afford. A lower price product sold in greater volume can produce better returns than a higher price product sold at lower price. Lets get the demand for this beautiful jumper up to represent the usually hidden supporters. Most AFL sanctioned and distributed merchandise is provided in very limited distribution compared to other clubs. Lets own this, club make it easily available, I hope they have plenty at the ground when we play doggies.

Looks sensational. is it inspirational. is there a story attached or will this jumper create it's own

Dont think i specified 9-0 as I suggested we win and beat every team in our decade of dominance but certainly said the existing players had depth an flexibility to win multiple games and flags.
