Vaccinations run at around 4-5M per day which is less than half the required rate for a population of 1.4 billion. Testing is comparatively low. The deaths of the most vulnerable have occurred. Masses of people from the cities have returned to the country villages Think mild hiatus rather than turn around. The first step is to up the vaccination rate to well over 10M per day.(China with a similar population does 20M doses per day.)

The Delta variant is a different beast no doubt. No country in the world has been able to stop its spread. Will Australia be the first ... who knows Today's Victorian outbreak appears at first glance to be manageable but if the football attendee came and went on the train and went to Young and Jacksons, the dots may be well and truly joined. Perhaps I'll watch Groundhog Day tonight.

Had to edit it OD as it appears it was the son of the hospital admittee that went to the MCC.... but yes he was infected My second shot is a four days after yours. Go Dees

Victorian case... 60+ unvaccinated and now quite ill in hospital. Get the jab folks asap please !

was wondering the same and you can throw in Jones. On the who goes out you could put in Harmes as well. Time also to perhaps consider goal kicking accuracy in selection. It's one of our biggest weaknesses.

Friday night is one game national telecast. Saturday night... two games split telecast Guess what our sponsors like

Hibberd's spot will probably come up for grabs sometime next year. Lockhart needs to improve by a factor of around 50% to be in the running. Must admit I didn't see Jordon as a prospect based on 2019 VFL games but he has surprised us all. Perhaps one of Bedford, Chandler or Lockhart could make the grade

would be amazing if Vic escapes another outbreak between now and September.

Was tonight's game in Perth always scheduled for Monday night or was there a reason? Don't mind a Monday night game but in the same weekend that we have had a Thursday night game it makes for a long round.

First jabs = higher likelihood of second jabs = increasing immunity = < vaccine hesitancy

so does that mean masks on while seated?

Quite like the headline on the match report on the AFL website........ Suns rise on Mars

Close on Mars PS.. just got closer

GCS are totally funded by the AFL. Make no mistake this is an AFL decision. Suns v Giants today showing GCS are no pushover. It's not as though we have not travelled this year

not meaningless at all. home ground means we don't have to wear white shorts ? And of course Brisbane can still end up 1 or 2 ?

AFL site still showing tickets available for Richmond v Collingwood this afternoon. Amazing drop in crowds even considering the form of the two clubs.

This is a seriously big game for MFC Go Saints !

didn't know that but just found a report on the circumstances.. https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-great-rex-hunts-onair-blow-up-ends-his-return-to-radio/news-story/c2764e2e6250140aef37290b141be2f7

Not sure if Joel will be on our list next year. Could be saved for depth. Probably the same with Baker but he could possibly go in search of game time at another club. Mitch Brown... I don't really know if he'll go around again. Weideman didn't do enough today to worry the selectors. Not many VFL games left for a number to stake their claims.

Just ask yourself if this were Collingwood vying for a top 4 spot. The trip to Darwin is far worse than a trip to Perth as is the impact the week after. In so many ways the AFL does us no favours.

okay I thought without starring

No one smashed the door down in that game from an AFL selection perspective. Category 1 . (Would consider) Melksham Category 2. (Keep it up) Sparrow Baker and AVB (just) Category 3 ( Neutral) Weid Chandler Bedford Bradtke is starting to look like a footballer

6. Petracca 5. Gawn 4. May 3. Lever 2. Pickett 1. Jordon with aplogies to several

You've got to be kidding I thought we had said goodbye to the Darwin disaster

can someone please explain how we a team on top of the ladder lost to Adelaide ?
