Blah-Blah Bar / Re: CV and mad panic behaviour
I am seeing lots of articles pop up lately potting the various covid responses. Today there is an article suggesting police were heavy handed during the covid protests. What purpose does it serve? Everyone's an expert after the fact. Governments and their agencies were doing the best they could with the limited information they had to protect the greater community. The farktards out there protesting were doing it just to get out of the house with little or no regards for the safety of the community. I think it was such an uncertain time where everyone just needed to stick together and follow the rules (as hard and draconian as they might have seemed).
Anyway, that's my take on that whole saga. Hopefully we never have to experience it again, if we do hopefully we are better equiped.

Just to dot point what im saying.  The vaccines were garbage the lockdowns not so much.
Fair points, I think the vaccines were as good as they could have been given the incredibly short time they were fast tracked in. I remember hearing a Aussie scientist on radio at the time saying how the amount of worldwide collaboration and information sharing when they were trying to come up with a vaccine was out of this world. They were virtually living on zoom/teams day and night. I cant remember the numbers but they were like trying to expedite 10 years of work in months.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: VFL 2024 Rd 7 Carlton vs Casey at Carlton
Quote from: crashlander on
Binns: 42 possessions, 11 marks, 5 tackles, 5 clearances, but in the last couple of moment he had a couple of serious mistakes. Still, he got leather poisoning.

Casey wanted it more, especially at the end. We have too many who are not hard nuts. Many of them were disappointing tonight.

Fantasia: 22 possessions, but not a single score.

Moir: 6 possessions. Disappointing.
So other than the Auskicker, the other senior listed players showed SFA. Great.

The Sports Desk / Corey "Homicide" Williams Passes Away
Sadly, Corey "Homicide" Williams lost his relatively short battle with cancer. I'm not a basketball fan in any way shape or form but I followed Homicide mainly through his socials and on SEN. Nice fella, always spoke his mind and was often very funny. He and Gazey would often have me in stitches back in the day.
Will be missed.

Ms DJC is pretty much a neutral observer and she remarked that she never heard such biased commentary before.  She also had a crack at the umpires for some poor decisions  :)

BT and his mates do tend to boost the team that's behind so that the punters won't turn the game off but a bit of balance would be a pleasant change.

I must learn how to sync Blues Radio  :)
Apparently is live, no delay as is the Ch7 telecast. So just turn it on, mute BT and youre away.

We've had three tough games in a row.
Our players looked pretty stuffed (although, happily smiling) at the end of last night's game.
This fourth will be really difficult.

We need to up our pressure which still seems to be well short of last year at times.
Heeney is a worry in a similar fashion to Petracca.
Can play a few roles and be hard to match up on.




IIRC, Most teams have performed poorly after playing us. Lets see how Melb go next week. Having said that, all games are tough these days, we seem to be recovering well and I expect us to recover well for the Syd game.

From the media coverage you'd think Melbourne dominated this game.  Aside from our gun players, I thought a lot of our lesser lights played important roles.  That's been overlooked - teams win flags, not a handful of guns within chaff.
Arrived home from the game with Junior G2C to be greeted my an angry Mrs G2C. Reckoned the Ch7 commentary was so biased she had to mute it. Ahhhh yes, love it when my effect wears off on family members.
PS Heard Cornes this morning on radio say how he listened to SEN Blues Radio (Maher, Edmond, Kouta and Ange) synced with the TV telecast, absolutely hilarious he reckons.
