No I was wrong, I said recipients, the number is doses.7.49 Billion to be exact (Bloomberg) So you are able to start thinking so
Apparently it's not a statistically significant number yet.

Essendon situation and a Covid vaccine are vastly different propositions.‘I don’t even respect that’: AFL great baffled by Jones’ vax refusal and retirement plea

Tim Watson 'I don’t really respect his decision because there’s no underlying medical issues here'
First, no one really knows Liam's reasons as he chooses not to speak about it. That is his right and entitlement. Second, without getting conspiracy theory-ish, no one definitively knows what the long term impact of the vaccines might be - it's just believed that it is less problematic than the present. Third, how can you question a person's decision NOT to be jabbed after what happened at Essendon? Different circumstances, I know, but the commentary really gets my goat from Tim 'Essendon Cheerleader' Watson.
How ironic that Tim Watson does not respect Liam's right to make a choice and refuse a jab. If his footy club had some players with backbone who questioned the status quo, they would not have had the drugs crisis. I can't believe he made that comment. Whether you agree or disagree with the reasons, Liam is entitled to his choice. There is something to admire about his decision to not embrace the global view. People will disagree with that and that is fine. I'm not making an anti-vaccine stance and I believe in the need to get vaccinated. I also respect the right of others to not do it. Tim has no appreciation of irony and no introspection to realise the stupidity of his comments...
Strangely enough the list says "who does carlton have in stock after Liam Jones- Liam Jones , Jacob Weitering, Caleb Marchbank, Lachie Plowman, Brodie Kemp, Mitch McGovern and Oscar McDonald ".Who did they list as replacements ?
The other, other Liam Jones. Obviously.Strangely enough the list says "who does carlton have in stock after Liam Jones- Liam Jones , Jacob Weitering, Caleb Marchbank, Lachie Plowman, Brodie Kemp, Mitch McGovern and Oscar McDonald ".
Be a fair effort to replace the retired Liam Jones with Liam Jones.
Jones has retired, which effectively opens up a spot on the list, which I believe will be filled with a DFA, with a similar type, a KPP
There should not be an extra compensation pick
Would the AFL be doing EXACTLY the same thing if Matt Rowell refused the vax and refused to explain?
My (very strong) personal opinion...NO ******* WAY
Yes they would. Guaranteed.Would the AFL be doing EXACTLY the same thing if Matt Rowell refused the vax and refused to explain?

Ah, yep that is doses. Bloomberg showing an estimated 3.4b people fully vaxed. It is a tougher data point to nail than overall doses. Is usually always just given as a percentage in most countries' reporting frameworks.No I was wrong, I said recipients, the number is doses.
Apparently it's not a statistically significant number yet.
Then you are deranged.
The AFL has a vaccine mandate because the Victorian government has one, and more than half the teams in the AFL are Victorian. This is not a conspiracy against anyone.
Folks this is why we need a better funded education system. Too many people running around with no critical thinking skills whatsoever.
No, your deranged if you're spending your time whinging about the Suns. Why would you spend even a second worry about them? Even if they got extra draft picks they'd probably just stuff it up anyway.I'm not deranged but it's fair to say you (and a few others) struggle to follow a thread that exceeds 30 words...I was merely responding to Arrow re. AFL compensation for the loss of Jones. I was never suggesting the AFL would exempt Matt Rowell from the vaccine, but whether the AFL would suddenly assist GC to cover the loss of Rowell.
I hope this has cleared it up...more hopeful than certain
i wonder when he will get the jab - how long after he retires. Im sure he'll get sick of not being able to do anything at some point
Must be so serious, whatever has made him decide all this. He worked so hard for his footy career with us , turned it around wonderfully , and now retiring over a vaccination. Interesting. Didn’t see this coming, hoped and thought he might have stuck around.
One of my favourite players, wish him all the best.
(The other day, my daughter had three operations. She’s all ok. But my point is this: I had no idea what was in any of the medication given to her, no idea how she’d react to all the sedatives and anaesthetics -I reacted terribly to mine - no idea what was used when the surgeons sealed her wounds, infact, I have no idea about the fancy schmancy writing on the back of panadol and what those ingredients mean. You should see the list of side effects on the oxycodone sheet she was given!
My daughter is 3. I fully trusted the specialists and nurses. I didn’t think twice, other than normal motherly panic snd worry during surgery.
We don’t jump up and down over medical treatment normally. I don’t understand why anti-vaxxers are doing it now when a needle isn’t just about you, but about helping everyone else.)
Maybe he can still be convinced to change his mindReally surprised that Jones retired, I just assumed he would end up getting the jab or waiting for the Novavax or whatever it’s called, I’m still qui intrigued by the situation and how Liam came to this decision, im surprised Liam didn’t accept or push to be placed on the inactive list, take the small amount of money, stay in the list and hope the AFLs position/Victoria’s position changes, in this instance we would still have replaced him in the list.
I have no ill feeling towards Jones, I don’t understand the decision as so many work places will require you to have the jab, but that’s up to him, just surprised he chose to retire.
My farther in law just got told he can’t come to his grand daughters( not my child) birthday party because he is not Vaxed… Horrible conversation and he pushed back hard. My sister in law is distraught about it but she wants to protect him. The last thing said to him was, you have 17 days to get your first jab, it’s your choice!
Why should he be any different.
What would be if he retired because of an injury related issue.
why isnt it his choice? so she is telling him not to live his life and see his family....makes sense
