Next up – Carlton launch appeal against John Elliott’s salary cap breach
Lachie Plowman's suspension stands after appeal
I quoted your own words.
You seem to think risk only involves death. I would contend the effects are quite more complex than just death – let’s talk potential for mutation, long covid, incapacity, mental trauma – just because someone doesn’t die doesn’t mean they get off scott free.
Victoria having lockdowns suggests not enough people are vaccinated. Which happens to be true. See above.
The fact you seem to think the Barrington declaration represents undisputed facts is the most laughable thing of all. You’re not changing my mind mate, not in a million years. And I won’t change yours, so like I say to so many people on here who want to just relentlessly rebut, let’s leave it at that. You can have the last word if you want.

“Only a small sliver of the population is at risk from Covid” – wrong
” vaccines don’t work” – wrong
Your entire post is based on the assumption covid is a furphy and we should just let it rip through the wider community. I doubt many people outside of Peta Credlin’s little acolytes would agree with you.

Good shout, and fair comments.

What a load of rot. The Australian population has less than 2% of people vaccinated – the vast majority of people aren’t vaccinated because our PM is a blithering incompetent hopeless liar. Far more people want vaccines then there is supply for them atm.
You want to blame anyone for this, blame the federal government. Quarantine, vaccinations – both their responsibility, and as usual they’ve absolutely failed to deliver.

Lions should really deal with GWS comfortably, we owe them a few shellackings from the last few years.
obviously Dees vs Dogs is the game of the round, but on the other side of the coin, St Kilda vs North Melbourne, there’s a game that just makes you wish for a lockdown in Melbourne.
The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions: Round 11
Pretty sure Catalans holding Israel to a contract is not the reason Clive’s taken out ads in all the major metropolitan papers
This is the standard murdoch drivel about rainbow cancel culture, I saw a brief note about “a savage attack on Israel’s attempt to play football” in the courier goebbels this morning
QRL set terms for Israel Folau's league return
Disagree with that assertion as well. You can throw as many laugh emoticons as you want at me, I don’t care. You’re wrong and your Carlton bias is affecting your judgment as always, that’s why I’m not talking about this to you.

I see Clive has taken out ads on the front page of every News Limited paper saying Let Israel play footy – this seems to be QRL’s stance too, if Israel is happy to keep his trap shut and go out and play football I have no issue with him doing so.
Let Israel play footy does not equate to let Israel also go on twitter and abuse minorities.

Yeah, I disagree with pretty much all of what you’ve said. So we’ll leave it there.
The dangerous thinking on concussion
I prefer video footage to a still photo. I’m comfortable stating that the attempt to spoil was by smashing his body into O’Meara’s and forcing him to drop the ball. O’Meara had both hands and his chest to the ball, Plowman had his shoulder in O’Meara’s head.
How you could look at that photo and say all fine with O’Meara being mangled on Plowman’s shoulder is beyond me, until you realise there’s a Carlton logo in shot as well.
He realised a few seconds before, I don’t doubt for a moment he had a chance to not do what he did. Why did he end up on his back? Physics. I can’t believe you’re actually trying to say that his behaviour is excusable because he wound up getting knocked down as well.
Coaches will be telling players don’t hit players in the head if you elect to bump. The same thing they’ve been saying for years. A few weeks out of the game is the only way to stop it, fines won’t do diddly.
Clearly you want to have a definitional debate about what is considered fibre and change, which I find about as appealing a notion as having thumbtacks inserted into my eyes – so I will simply state that any change in player behaviour that leads players to perhaps take the ever slightly less macho option and not bump blokes in the head when they can’t affect the contest is not going to be noticeable. It’s not like you see the parallel reality playing out in front of you.
The dangerous thinking on concussion
Rubbish article. At no time did Plowman have his arm out to spoil. He sprinted in, braced himself, ironed out O’Meara to stop him marking it.
Suspension was eminently fair, reasonable and necessary. Get with the times you neanderthals.
After Plowman's suspension, why be a defender?
Plowman knew he was no chance of beating O’Meara for the mark, so he braced up and smashed him as he caught it. Plowman saw O’Meara every step of the way, O’Meara had no idea he was coming.
1 week would have been fair, but 2 weeks it is.
From watching the footage I don’t see that Plowman had any intention of trying to spoil.
These sort of incidents are necessary markers to lay down to change player behaviour. I don’t buy into this sort of chicken littling that this sort of decision “has the power to threaten the fibre of our game” whatsoever.

It’s a joke. You richmond groupies on here are hilarious. So angsty, so argumentative, so dreadfully insecure despite 3 flags in 4 years

How much footy have you played to make a comment like that? Been hit around the head lately by someone at high speed?

Well, he can work on that as he develops as a player. Gotta keep control of your emotions.
You shouldn’t be disappointed by the tigers, they tried hard, and no doubt will continue to rage against the dying of the light as the season progresses.

Bit rich to have someone questioning the motivation of teammates who never won a flag and was quite comfortable flopping his old fella out in Miami during the off-season

Honestly Renato – you’re a joke. Rather amused you’ve got Bernie latched on like a limpet shredding you over your anti-Hayden bias.

I would have thought PRESENTED BY DRAFTSTARS in 48 point font at the top of the article was a bit of a giveaway
That being said, I don’t mind the idea at all. I stopped doing normal AFL fantasy two years ago because it is a massive timesink if you want to do well. The notion of just picking your squad for a weekend and playing against your mates is very appealing.
Why you should give Daily Fantasy a go over season-long competitions
Very good point, it would be great to see more of Bangladesh in Australia
