I suspect it's common. Conjunctivitis in Lions I mean. I'm extrapolating this on the fact that conjunctivitis is common in domestic cats - basically because they are fuzzy all over, including on their face, so are more likely to get surface eye irritation from loose hairs etc.Lions have poor aerobic capacity anyway. Can't run out a game. Needs to work on tank.
But, do lions suffer from conjunctivitis?

In relation to Joe Daniher its probably okay unless his moustache is moulting frequently and he spends excessive time standing on his head.

What about other peoples heads?In relation to Joe Daniher its probably okay unless his moustache is moulting frequently and he spends excessive time standing on his head.
I would think that’s probably fine, conjunctivitis-wiseWhat about other peoples heads?
Ah. You’re one of THOSE guys.you say that like its a joke but that was my motto, why waste energy warming up when you can save it all for the game.. still 40 years without a muscle pull! You do your run throughs and stretches, ill be in the can doing my nervous poo before the game, see you at the first bounce.
Daniher 'progressing well'
Pre-season | Richardson on SEN
General Manager of Football Dan Richardson spoke to SEN Breakfast today.

Joe Daniher is making in-roads with his training as he returns from osteitis pubis, according to GM of Football Dan Richardson.
The star Essendon forward’s 2018 season was cut short in round seven last season, but Richardson said the club remained positive about the 24-year-old’s progress.
“Joe is progressing well. He has started to do some ball work which is still limited at this stage, but we feel comfortable with the progression he is making,” Richardson told SEN 1116.
“If Joe continues to progress the way he is, and the symptoms don’t flare up again, we would hope a full training program would be in sight.”

Despite Daniher’s progress, Richardson said the club wasn’t putting a timeline on the All-Australia’s return to playing.
“Unfortunately, it is an injury that is difficult to put a timeline on,” he said.
“I understand everyone would love a more definitive timeline, but we are confident with the way he is progressing and importantly Jo is confident within himself.
“For any player, they want to be out there playing so Joe has been extremely patient during a challenging 12 months, but he certainly feels optimistic about what’s ahead.”
The Bombers last week confirmed Cale Hooker had suffered a minor hamstring strain, while Zach Merrett sprained his ankle during a training drill.
“Unfortunately, we have had a couple of injuries within the last week,” Richardson said.
“I think all clubs are now in a training phase where your level of volume and intensity at training are taking a step up as we get closer to the season – you have to do that to prepare players for the rigours of the season. In saying that, there is always a risk of injury.
“Cale and Zach had a strong body of work up until now and although their program will be interrupted for a few weeks, we are confident they have a good grounding under their belt and the setbacks shouldn’t have too big of an effect on them.”
I agree. I'm preparing myself for it to be after the bye at the earliest.I don’t think we will be seeing Joe for a while.
See?Stuff that, I fully expect him to kick 10 goals in our first preseason game.
NOT ANYMORE!!! BRING ME JOEY ROUND ONE BABY! #bipolar!I agree. I'm preparing myself for it to be after the bye at the earliest.
I'm gonna stop reading this bi-polar ******* thread. Depending on who you talk to, Joe is either the Coleman favourite or he's nearly dead.
