Bluemour Season Blast Off Edition XXXIII

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Geez I miss actual rumours....... in this thread.

The discussions lately yes I have been part of it too need to change to what we are actually here for and that's Footy rumours about our great club so everyone can chill and unwind about the club.
This board has gone from somewhere you could come and have your interests of Carlton piqued by a ITK poster or some not so In The Know poster with something "they heard from so and so" which was always a good laugh.
It's become too political and it's no longer enjoyable to be in the thread please can we get back to having some fun and just enjoy that we all barrack for the same team because essentially that's why we are all on here in the first place.
Bring on the AFLW then pre season then finally the Season opener and beat those toothless tigers!

Fortunately, we have lots of other threads where footy talk flourishes.

This thread has always been allowed to develop organically. It will be controlled again when a rumour happens.

Rumour of a rumour?

Bang on the money here I reckon...

Yep.

Even in the reporting prior to Jones being named, it was "hesitant" not "anti vax". He's allowed to have reservations, and he has the benefit of a wonderful organisation with medical professionals on the books to help inform him before he makes a final decision.

I know many - MANY - people who were hesitant about the vaccine. Pretty sure just about every one of them came around once they did a little bit of proper thinking instead of being led by their favourite "influencer" or the posts that kept popping up here and there in their Facebook feed. They're not stupid people, they were just being bombarded with opinions presented as facts, and once those seeds are planted the confirmation bias kicks in and they start looking for similar opinions to validate their worries.

I myself held off on getting vaccinated until fairly recently, simply because I was in a low risk category (young, no health issues, well outside any hotspots, working from home and not really going anywhere except the supermarket). I was eligible for the AZ for ages, but figured the clotting risks were a bit of a worry (the old man has had some issues in that area) and that, given I was in no rush, waiting for Pfizer was a reasonable decision. So I can sympathise with people who are a bit unsure and need time to come to terms with things, or are holding out for something they consider a more appropriate option.

For the sake of our 2022 season prospects, I hope Jonesy gets the advice he needs and comes around. If it means a slightly delayed preseason, so be it, he's a veteran now and missing a few extra weeks isn't the end of the world.

He needs to get frozen out of the club. Direct everyone just to ignore his calls and questions. Speak to everyone else.

FFS. This is not the place for virus debates. Be warned thread and board bans are coming for continued covid debating.

Go here if you must:

Sorry but I disagree.

No one's health issues/religious beliefs/sexual orientation/political views etc is anyone's business but their own and if they wish to share it that is their right as a fellow human being.

Also everyone in here needs to just worry about footy and the rumours purporting to our great club which this forum is actually meant to be about not a discussion about other peoples choices in life.

Upto the point where it impacts their ability to do their job. Then it becomes public knowledge because it's impossible to hide without straight up being dishonest with the supporters etc.

If a player can't enter a football ground because of government/league mandates around general health and safety, how do they fulfill their obligations? They can't. How do you hide that from the general public?

The most that anyone could hope for would be to postpone it becoming public for a little while.

Weitering and Moore = the next May and Lever

Pretty sure I blanked Dennis Armfield one time. I was wearing some Carlton gear at the time too, so he may have been a bit miffed that I didn't recognise him. In my defense, he was in a suit, had his hair slicked back, and was much taller than I expected.

Well he was our CHB for half his career..

You know what a bluey was a reference to in the spinal ward?

It's those absorbant mats that those who leak can piss on without getting the bed wet.

Clearly you're not a supporter with that attitude. Therefore, you're definitely a bluey.

Haha nice.

Oh no trust me I am a supporter. Just not of shocking AFL footballers, like Liam.

Made a great career for himself despite his limited game awareness and football nous.

The only people in disagreement would be a few blues supporters that support any play no matter what they do on field, as mediocre as it is.

A "shocking AFL footballer" who was outmarked once in over 100 one-on-one contests, playing on some of the best forwards in the game.

Cool story.

This is a relief. I was worried about losing a gutsy, freakish, irreplaceable, borderline AA key defender. What was I thinking?

....Pies about to perform one of the great chokes on Fox.

‘77 gf....Tiger, Snake Baker & Arnold Briedis kicking 0.7....one of my all time favourites.
