If you thought Australia was slow, NZ is going at just over 10k doses per day. Because they only use Pfizer and the time between shots is only 3 weeks their fully vaccinated percentage of population is a little higher than ours at present but this will change dramatically over the next month.

Perhaps the concern is Vic locking out SA Watch WA do it first.

You have to wonder how the pre flight PCR testing worked here. The usual excuse for it not working is that they caught it on the way to the airport etc but the odds with a private plane should have been very very low. Queensland have had four quarantine failures in 10 days. Not going well up there. Edit... it appears that SA knew beforehand that they were covid positive Interesting Second edit: ABC saying it was an international flight but from the NT press conference it seems to be an NT miner flying to Adelaide who then his infected family. Plane stopped in Alice and now Alice is locked down.... I'm lost !!

Read the ATAGI advice carefully AZ is preferred not banned Not going to argue however

Victoria... The Covid Free State (well almost)

The VFL comp is hopelessly compromised from a ladder perspective. Just make it Vic only for the rest of the season and let's move on

Yep... She of "I saved the AFL" fame leaves a lot to be desired. It'll play well in Queensland though

Saw a stat in the last few days for vaccine rates of the over 60 groups 60-70....around 60% 70 plus ... around 66% This is the group we should be ramping up the fear/encouragement process on A BBO shiraz for the second dose or perhaps being limited to Collingwood games for the unvaccinated.

The following teams have a bye Aspley, Box Hill Hawks, Gold Coast Suns, Port Melbourne, Werribee, Williamstown A game against Port or Willy would be nice We do not play Port all year and are scheduled to play Willy in the second last round. MFC/Casey needs to make it happen. One game in 6 weeks is not good enough

Hi can you send me the link as my searches are not showing the "buy tickets" button on the AFL site thanks PS... Finally got in Tickets on level 2A AFL section

Didn't think they would have the required intestinal fortitude. Let's jab together !! ..... and enjoy next summer !! PS... notice that the indemnity scheme is through the GP system. None of the Premiers appear to have asked for a flow down to the mass vaccination centres

We knew it was coming. The future fund concept is a good idea.

Go for it. The very rare risk is with the first jab. For the second jab TTS is almost unheard of on a worldwide or local basis. The change which would be nice but it's not going to happen is to be offered Pfizer/Moderna for the second dose. Increasingly overseas test are showing that AZ and Pfizer/Moderna is a powerful combo. An early German study suggests AZ+ Pfizer = 2 doses of Pfizer multiplied by 4 in the level of antibodies. The advice never changes however.. the best vaccine is the one that's available. As an aside China's planned production for covid vaccines this year exceeds 8 billion doses... just amazing

question... with GWS and the Sydney lockdowns what's the chances of a VFL game for Casey next week? Doubt they brought the VFL team down with them. Perhaps the AFL/VFL could be inventive and allow some supp players from somewhere. Couldn't stand another practice hit out Perhaps a game against one of the Melbourne non aligned sides assuming they have a bye

wouldn't mind seeing him played a little further down back as "Hibberd insurance". We know he is okay as "Langdon insurance". The forward deliveries after some of those long runs was a little disconcerting but that is system footy or should I say ....

hope the Eagles show the same form when we go over there what a thrashing

Looking at the weather radar that should be the end of the rain Perth. They only had a few mms but it seemed to come at the start of the game. Could be a better second half from the Eagles

do you think he would play better with a haircut like Weid's

5:2 One was a gimme handball from AVB and he missed one he should have kicked. Weid missed at least 2 if not 3 and had one good snap for a goal

didn't think I'd say it...but in the heat of September there might be a role for the body player like Vandenberg. Very good game today Bradtke down back was interesting. Didn't do too much but didn't make any mistakes. Cannot see any candidate to replace Hibberd next year if needed. May need to trade for that player. Baker is becoming good at this level.

one case in Perth and no crowds at the footy what can one say

no.. injured this game.. he had a shot on goal in the first quarter other than that can't recall many touches

way too slow on transition and going via the boundary line thus letting the backs crowd the Caey forward line. The goal to Brown was the first quick movement this quarter

when are we going to have an easy win Better than a loss though Lots to review from that game

17-7 inside 50's our way and we're behind
