On its last bounce that ball goes a little more Mackays way and its entirely likely he takes clean possession and is either tackled or passes Clarke with little or no contact and you think he should slow down beforehand?

Yes but in this case the information they had indicated potential exponential community exposure to hundreds of people. I know I wouldn't want to be wrong and not lock everything down.

The question can also be asked - without real evidence of close contact exposure is it correct not to shut down the economy? Both views are correct in their own way but only one of them does the job of protecting the community adequately with the information at hand at the time

Yeah agree. I guess the exposure was pretty unlucky if it is a simple innocent error as suggested. Not having direct face to face contact is a unlikely source of contracting the virus

I would expect if they hadnt had physical contact with a quarentining guest being a cleaner they had contact with the linen or waste, they are the most obvious points. There would have been some sort of failure by that person to correctly remove ppe or sanitise after handling... Edit - or the...

On the surface yes but he was tested along with every other worker on the Monday and was the only positive and had absolutely no contact with the quarantined guests or their waste.

He was tested because he was working in a medi-hotel on Monday when all staff were instructed to have tests. He hadnt had a test as a result of being identified as a close contact

I think you would find that the price wouldn't change even if you could opt out of the catering. The hotels cannot sell rooms to the public, nor have functions, run any bar or resturants that cannot be accessed solely from the street whilst hosting returning internationals and so would require...

Why should Port be disadvantaged? Every fixture since the VFL expanded beyond 12 teams has been unfair so regardless of whether they benifited or not from the days break differentials during the H&A season this year is immaterial. Where possible, there is no reason a side finishing in the...

If Karen feels bad because she is being called Karen because she is being unfairly stereotyped then she has a right to be aggrieved. However that does not make the term racist in of itself, which seems to be the point some are arguing. The term is not really different to any other label...

You do understand that for it to be racist it needs to be used by a person that is not white? It doesnt matter if the origin of the term came from black people. A white person calling someone a Karen is about as far from racist as you can get and simply put that is by far and away the most...

Lol

Whilst I quite like reducing rotations and even removing a couple of players per side on the ground surely the first step is to protect the ball winner. Ping holding the man and high first foremost - make sure the tackler gets it right otherwise they cough up the free. Once the ball winner...

Maybe but if the information we get is skewed, misleading or confusing we arent really making an informed decision are we. There is precious little fact based reporting these days its mostly interpretation or opinion based. Btw I never said our governments control the narrative, they try but...

We may have more access to different points of view but that does not mean we are better informed or that narratives are not controlled by a few. My main objection is that there seems to be an assumption here that what we are told by our media is correct and other sources are completely wrong...

I would argue whilst the methods are different the result is the same - a woefully uninformed population typically fed whatever those with the power to determine content choose.

I think its more obvious in China, which possibly makes its less dangerous. I take with a grain salt what appears in the mainstream media in this country, the US and UK. Do you honestly think western media is not agenda driven and report accordingly?

Does western media = balanced, independent reporting?

I would expect a large proportion of past players do not live in SA anymore simply because they returned to their home state once their playing career was done and the ones that stayed would be balanced by SA bred players moving to chase opportunity elsewhere. There would also be players that...

The past players are the most tangible connection to the clubs history. Its not about their salaries earnt whilst playing and the perks they get its about the benefits to the club by having them still engaged now. I would be surprised if the average member would have a problem with past...

I dont get why the club wouldn't want every single player that still wanted a connection not to attend matches. Surely allowing past players to have entry rights would go a long way towards engaging them and the fans.

If this occurs in a tackle as opposed to knocking to ball out without tackling i see know reason why it shouldnt be HTB. It ensures the player with the ball doesnt drop it or hold the ball in such a way that the ball will be come out because of the force of the tackle. As a result the umpire...

The salary cap only restricts teams from outside Victoria. Plenty of opportunities to earn extra money via media and endorsements for anyone who wants a public profile in Melbourne, pretty limited by comparison in the other states.

Unfortunately Cornes has a low opinion of fans and even members, he thinks the club is the people inside the "4 walls" and considers that everyone else should just suck it up - as if the club exists without the fans and members, we are not in NSW or Qld...... The entire point Goodings was...

So what you are saying is that Brown is not good enough to work through it and earn those frees without flopping? Every supporter thinks their key forwards cop it worse than every other teams, heres a tip, umpires tend to ignore what they think are incidental breaches particularly in the...

Dumb footballers & dumb coaches, what else would you expect

Why are you happy for the normal rules of a free kick not to be applied? If you do not want a goal to result from a punishable act then just don't do it. The ball was dead and the shove was just plain stupid, therefore a free kick where the infringement occurred is the only logical result.

What are you talking about? A blatant push in the back in front of goal by a defender is almost always a guaranteed goal. A free should be paid where it occurs or where the ball is when it occurs which ever is the greater penalty.

Reduce it to 16 per team on the ground, move those players to the bench but continue to lower the cap on rotations as well. Zones in general play on such a large playing surface is unworkable anyway and yes would look horrid.

Geelong play 7 games at the MCG this year. Your "lots away" is actually at a ground they play regularly and holds enough fans that most Geelong fans can go if they wish. They do not play at the MCG with token support. Are you using "showdowns" to invoke the impression that every Melbourne...
