Robert Heatley Stand / Re: AFL Rd 9 2024 Post Game Prognostications Carlton vs Melbourne
Until the 'heat' arrived in the 2nd half. Those of us who are critical of Ollie are not critical of his endeavour and effort. And we're not saying he's no good, or should not be out there. Simply observations of his inexperience in tight and physical situations. He's a ripper... with things to clean up on, especially hurting the opposition with his disposal, strengthening his body to stick tackles, surety by hand and foot in pressure situations... they'll come in time. But they're real shortcomings at present.
And everyone looked amazing in our first half, until the Go Dees brought the heat, then the wheat was sorted from the chaff.
He wasn't the lone ranger and a couple of errors shouldn't eclipse a rather important role he played in us having a 5 to 0 headstart at quarter time. Even his caught in possession moments it was facing his opposition and getting caught by third man in from behind. That's on his teamates not letting him know he's hot IMHO.

He set us up in a big way.

That's a mark every week, and there was a few of those last night. Wet weather footy, you can't make players hold it with an opponent punching it out. Melbourne scored on the back of one of those. Must have been 3rd quarter as it was the non punt road end.

I think there is a fair bit of hindsight going on, 3 Leos. At the time, we just didn't know. Worst case scenario seemed plausible and frightening.
Science and pollies were all on the back foot and unsure, and most were doing their best.
I don't recall any vaccine manufacturer claiming 100% safety; they spoke of the potential -- albeit low -- risk for some people, hence staying in surgeries/pharmacies for 15 minutes after the innoculation before leaving. But as troubling as it was to know, there was a low risk for some folks, as there is with every medication/vaccine.
In hindsight some pollies overreacted and some under-reacted. Few got it right - in hindsight.
Not really Baggers. By the time the vaccines came around we had a much better view of the virus and its potential to cause harm. The worst case scenario wasn't happening. That much was obvious in health care.

There are very few areas in life that don't involve a risk to benefit comparison. Apparently, 2 or 3 per 100,000 people vaccinated with AZ ended up with TTS. Granted, nobody wants to be one of those 2 or 3, but all things considered, there are a great many people who reaped the benefits of having an AZ vaccination (not to mention their close associates and loved ones) and very few that did not.
The issue is that the data used to support both sets of numbers were used to paint a picture.
The adverse reactions to the vaccines under reported as coincidences. Likewise the number of people significantly impacted by covid were over stated.
The vaccine companies (all) made wide sweeping shonky claims afmbout efficacy to go with it and you end up with a scenario where most people questioned what the best outcome was going to be.
When you strip it all bare, covid was no walk in the park. It isn't the killer it was made out to be either but it left the general public questioning what was the lesser of two evils and real doctors were silenced on the matter and it became politicised.
Where you sit in any of it is subjective and largely determined by personal choices but I saw some extremely autocratic behaviour which I'm hoping never gets repeated.

Thank you guys for your kind thoughts.Don't feel you have to answer to anything, you have already shared heaps. Just makes me wonder. I do that. Its my nature.
I will do my best to answer any questions. Give me a little time to collect my thoughts please. I am In the process of selling my house. My deepest apologies.
Still don't understand it, but maybe thats part of the issue. Its irrational and understanding the irrational is sometimes impossible.

Hes not amazing, but him and Durds were both getting up the ground a significant way. Owies I like, hes dangerous. The problem we had was probably more to do with our forward entries and where the ball was being put, rather than where the guys were and werent getting to. So many times, the ball was being rebounded, because we kicked to a contest where we were outnumbered. The collingwood backs were working up and down the ground all day, and they had 2 additional days break to do so.

Hopefully you have a good relationship with your half sister and I mean no blame or shame with this at all. I just can't understand it which speaks for why I won't perpetuate the cycle of this behaviour more than anything else.
We are all here for you mate.

I think we just need to tidy it up a bit, and be a bit smarter and we will be fine. No need to panic, its not a personell issue, its an execution problem.

Who's Stanley?plays for Geelong. It happened against Max gawn in a marking contest. Hand wrapped around the back, other arms locked. Gawn got hands to the footy and Stanley wore him like a glove.

Not paying the ones to Harry doesnt make the Elliot ones not there. Point is he panicked everytime the ball csme to themtell me why Stanley gets away with a hold and Zac williams doesn't. Hands around the player marking happens in EVERY contest.
