Brisbane really worked him over well, they were clearly concerned about his breakaway from stoppage and wore him like a glove. A second year player already attracting that kind of attention from a top contender shows a lot in my opinion. He's the kind of player you like to go and see live, the...

Yes and this is a 5 day lock down

Brisbane had a mini lockdown not that long ago, I don’t recall any of the other teams having restrictions when that was in place. I definitely don’t recall a whingy whiny thread being started by a Lions supporter. If the Lions can put their big boy pants on then surely the Eagles and Dockets...

Carlton need to make finals this year, we aren’t that young any more and we have recruited some mature players to bolster the list. Unless we have a terrible injury run, we need to be making finals. The problem with gutting the list like we ended up having to do is that the players have become...

Way too early to tell. North’s youth have more exposed form, which is partly due to Essendon trading picks away. But picks 7,8,9 could be a great launching pad for the Bombers if they have nailed a couple of them. I think the Bombers were going nowhere, so Daniher and Saad moving on will prove a...

For 5 days I don't see the point of other teams having to limit their preseason. These kind of things could be popping up in all the other states so they would have to continually implement limitations. They will be able to work around it pretty easy as a lot of pre-season is fitness and...

He lives with 3 other people who would have also been spreading it around but as yet they are not confirmed as having Covid.

I think the Saints are the most likely to drop out. I think their game plan will get dissected further so it will be interesting to see how they respond. They have a tough draw also. They have improved their squad though and King looks like he could be a superstar. Not sure of the other team to...

He probably doesn’t have the home and away consistency as many others, but the way he has been regularly able to elevate his game come finals time (especially his gf performances) would have to put him in the conversation as the GOAT in my time watching footy. And he still looks to have some...

I voted for North, but it really could be any number of teams. I think it comes to injuries

The Crows and Power will have a long stretch of home games I would think, with teams flying in after they have spent 2 weeks out of Vic. Not a “hub”, just teams rolling through.

5 weeks ago there was plenty of reasons not to go through the expense of having to send 10 Vic clubs into a hub. As you have said, they no choice now. I'm not sure they can wait until round 7 to do it either, it needs to happen very soon, it'll be great to actually see real fans at the footy.

Except the flu deaths were actually flu deaths. Hospitals in the US only have to “assume“ someone has COVID to declare that as the cause of death. They are also financially motivated to declare deaths as COVID. It stands to reason that if hospitals receive more money if they declare a death as...

But we don’t count influenza deaths like that. If we counted all deaths from influenza every year where the people actually died from their pre-existing conditions and counted them as “influenza death”, the numbers would be astronomical and we could have certainly scared the crap out of the...

Whilst higher than most flu’s, that number is still not very high and definitely not what we locked down for. The IFR for the 2017/18 flu season in the US was 0.50 which is obviously twice as bad.

Whilst there is no proof either way as to whether vaccines cause autism. Below is the first ever peer reviewed study of vaccinated vs unvaccinated children: https://www.oatext.com/Pilot-comparative-study-on-the-health-of-vaccinated-and-unvaccinated-6-to-12-year-old-U-S-children.php Positives...

It’s pretty stupid to compare life saving surgery to forcing healthy people to take drugs, albeit biological drugs. Who the hell wouldn’t have life-saving heart surgery?

The Danish study you quote was a study of fully required vaccinated Denmark children vs fully required vaccinated Denmark children plus MMR vaccine. How can anyone possibly conclude that “vaccines don’t cause autism” from such a study? At best all you can conclude is that MMR doesn’t cause...

Absolutely you can say the same about Carlton and for a longer period than 10 years. I voted for the Saints here, but not with any real confidence. the question for me about St Kilda is whether they are really in the position to go after players like Hill and sacrifice their draft hand in...

I voted for Carlton, but only because I am a Carlton supporter. I think Melbourne will finish highest here. Whilst they were overrated leading into the 2019 season, I feel as though they are being underrated if you look at their form line of the seasons leading into 2019. They should be playing...

Why are you pretending to be a Geelong fan when you are quite clearly a Richmond fan?

Personally, I don’t think you are giving credit where it’s due. Richmond have been excellent for 3 years now, their record isn’t really that far off Hawthorn’s (though obviously 3 premierships is better than 2) and they were actually more dominant in finals in 2017 and 2019 compared to Hawthorn...

The only way Hawthorn finish second last is with a major injury crisis. Teams that field a team as experienced as Hawthorn will this year very rarely finish in the bottom 4.

If you are really worried about fairness, you would start the non-Vic teams from scratch as well. Not start up one team with almost a whole state to choose from and then start a second team years later with scraps. West Coast have significantly more supporters and a healthy leg up over their...

I think the mental gymnastics displayed by Richmond folk with a heavy bias against Carlton is far greater. You are all in a fantasy, dreaming of a humiliating outcome for Carlton. Trying to change actual trade values acknowledged by the GC list manager to push an agenda. If Martin continues his...

The Kelly trade that originally failed and took over 12 months to complete is your example about how awesome Wells is? That’s comedy gold right there and it’s even more amusing that you are in awe about a guy talking s**t to the media, I didn’t think anyone would take any note of that but there...

If your $900K figure is legit, then yes I would suggest he would be very happy to go to Carlton. The offer made to GC was the equivalent of pick 12 in points, even if Carlton finish 8th the trade was worth approximately pick 18. Given his body of work so far in the AFL what do you think he is...

The salary is not ideal. Still, we will be able to go to 105% of the cap for the next 2 years if need be. It’s a better outcome than coughing up a top 10 pick.

Not if he gets to Carlton it’s not. It’s very much a positive outcome for Carlton if he gets there at no cost. Certainly a lot better than being bent over the trade table for a top 10 pick for Martin.

No, you weren’t the one I was suggesting was hoping for a negative Carlton outcome. In any case, there is just no way a club will recruit a player against their wishes and I am staggered that so many believe it would be a positive for GC. From a Carlton perspective, my worry has always been...
