Dusty officially out v GWS

No surprise.

Hope he gets his issues together and comes back like the champ he is. We need our stars out there playing.

A bit like Ash Barty .....Dusty's climbed the mountain & achieved everything .....with recent events, he may be struggling with motivation

You can talk yourself into things in training .....but once in the heat of battle ....has he asked himself, "why am I here "

 

[vjknight]

We have 3 confirmed ins so far. NOD, Hamling and Darcy. Meek out, Mundy and Cox H & S protocols at this stage. Could get ugly.

People in Melbourne were desperate to get vaccinated, so probably higher levels of triple vax here. WA has been in shang ri la, so uptake my not have been as high

You couldn't be more wrong. WA actually has the highest rate of boosters for eligible population than any other state.

Triple vax ain't stopping omicron transmission. Outside of maybe helping for a few weeks (antibody spike), it's not doing anything to stop transmission. The vax pierce with Omicron is huge.

Vaccine stops you from getting sick and dying, but since Delta and now Omicron, it does hardly anything to stop spread.

We're all going to be infected, again and again every time there is a new variant. Vaccine protects from serious illness and disease by giving you a heads up (T and B memory cells; antibody levels subside quickly).

From a SC perspective, we just need to hope that the new variant that tops omicron and spreads globally, doesn't come until after the season ends, otherwise every player will catch that as well.

Whilst we would all love him to continue , Specially Richmond fans i kind of agree with what you posted

He is now extremely successful with all his property investments and was reported to be worth over $20 mil
I personally wouldnt blame him if he did retire and moved on as he has never been a player that wants the spotlight or the attention in public or media.

Good luck to him what ever he decides if thats what is the issue but motivation after a bad injury and then the loss of his father could be the issue's

Clearly WA wasn't the shang ri la I thought it was. Must be keener than us to leave the last 2 years behind.

Agree though. Time to move on. AFL is just running a PC PR activity with protocols. Or maybe just worried about OHS.

Maybe Tomorrow had him locked

In his basement it would seem.

He's a beautiful boy, and I hope he gets better soon

More CBAs for Caldwell. Good for his owners.

Sorry all, I don't want to derail things any more than they have recently...

But there's plenty of workplaces now that either don't require vaccination, or once did but have done away with it.
I work for a national company where a mandate was strongly considered but never eventuated. (WA government rules over-rode for me specifically, but "obviously" (for most!) I'm jabbed up for my own health and safety).

stevebbb is 100%, so surely the AFL get to a point where they ask; "Who are we actually protecting here?"

Players will get it, they are now anyway. They'll feel crap for a week (or they won't).

The initial flu comparisons weren't all that well informed, imho, but surely they become more and more apt as we roll through new variants?

Anyway, I don't even know what thread I'm in.

Apparently the gyno was about to deliver the baby, but Stewart glided across and intercepted. Should start this week with +8.

Contested possession?

 

[Rayzorwire]

Contested possession?

Yes.

With strings attached.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Anyone know if he’s playing?!

Yep he'll play ...

 

[rocker_oz33]

For real?

F**k! It's enough to have to deal with all the Covid stuff let alone this sort of garbage.

He'll play ...

Might of had a sleepless night...

He was only ever there for half a dozen games a season anyway in the last five years.

My workplace is still making us do a rat test for the first three days after a break, wear masks and social distance. Life is normal when you walk out the gate.
Of course, it’s all about production and $$$$$$$, who gives a **** if the workers are put out.
Same for the AFL, although if cases rise too much, it may very well backfire on them.
Afterall, you can’t move the goalposts mid season, can you?

Just saw Hough is out, means i can take Stephens score instead of playing Ward.
