SPP gets a week for his tackle on McEvoy. Pretty soft I thought, been worse ones this year. Did Dixon get sighted for his elbow that was intentional/high/severe??

Dixon was sighted for putting his forearm out to brace his fall as he was tackled to the ground when the ball was not in play. ;)

$1000 fine.

So at this point we've established our COVID restrictions in SA is complicating some freight logistics, I'll take your educated word for it.

What else?

AFL Crowds
Local Sports Training and Games all require huge amounts of paperwork, a dedicated marshal and other equally useless modifications.
Poker at the Casino is still closed.

Eliminate the virus within the state (done already) and quarantine anyone coming back in (happening and supported). Let the rest of us return to the Old Normal, not this "new" rubbish.

Yup im up for $193 for a seat in the riverbank stand :vom:

I was first allocated a seat on the bottom level in the rain, so I tried to change to the western stand but when I reloaded it then told me there were no seats at all left.
Thought I might have left it too late, but tried again 15 mins later and it gave me the riverbank seat.

Beau Webster 3/26[12]
Ive not seen him bowl pace
When did he start bowling fast ?


TASMANIA ROLL SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Across the parking lot at Karen Rolton Oval, Tasmania’s seam-bowling convert Beau Webster (3-26) impressed with his medium pacers against South Australia as the hosts were bowled out for 195 after electing to bat.

Predominantly a spin-bowling all-rounder, Webster added seam bowling to his arsenal over the off-season , putting his 202cm frame to good use. It leaves him with a skill-set similar to that of former three-format star Andrew Symonds, who was a big hitter with the bat and bowled both seam and spin over the course of his career.

It has come in more than handy for Tasmania so far this season. In the team’s opening game Webster took 2-78, bowling Marnus Labuschagne with his pace and catching Michael Neser off his spin, and on Monday he finished with figures of 3-26.

The big hitting 26-year-old opened his account by taking Liam Scott’s edge thanks to the steepling bounce he extracted from the pitch, before bowling Chadd Sayers (30)and nicking off Kane Richardson (3).

Adelaide keep getting cases into our quarantine hotels...shows you what can happen if you relax the restrictions...

Yup, I don't think anyone is calling for quarantine by returned travellers to be relaxed.
With that said, I'm a firm believer that given SA has 0 active cases within the community, provided we maintain quarantine for anyone coming in, then we should be in a position that doesn't require any restrictions for the general public.

The Christmas pageant for example, not an event that overly excites me, but I don't understand why SA Health binned it.
Could it be that they don't trust the 14-day quarantine for returned travellers?

If its American doesn't that mean that the Application was received on 12 June 2020 and then sent the vote on 25 September and the vote was received on the 2 November 2020. What day was the vote.....am I missing the issue.

James Bradley is one of those on the list of people with the 1900 year of birth.
The issue isn't the dates he applied and got sent a ballot etc, the issue is that he is apparently older than the oldest person in america.

Who is Tony Modra?

Or is this a Callum Ferguson post in the wrong thread?

Was much better when they had a compulsory umpire for all of their games.

Agree but equally why should every other club have to fork out the $120 or whatever it is because 1 club can't behave appropriately.
It's time the clubs put together a petition and told the league MSCC are no longer welcome in ATCA.

If Booney won't tell us lets start speculating ourselves.

7 winners at an average price of $5, a place at say $2.15.
Lets assume he chucked $3 on it.

5^7*2.15*$3 = $503,906.30

Yeah Harris has drifted too, back out to the high 400s.

Its been a push of Don from 25s into mid-9s.

A Pennsylvania postal worker whose claims have been cited by top Republicans as potential evidence of widespread voting irregularities admitted to U.S. Postal Service investigators that he fabricated the allegations, according to three officials briefed on the investigation and a statement from a House congressional committee.

He also stated that he was given $US130 000 ($A200 000) by the Trump Team for taking part in the lie.

'Postal worker featured by Republicans as evidence of vote tampering admits, he made it up; GOP paid him $130,000 to say he saw voter fraud.'

And next week he'll come out and say the democrats paid him to say he made it up and say he got paid to make it up.

Then the following week we'll find out it was a triple fake...

Didnt hesitate to can the finals last season....why would now be any different.

In march it was brand new, no one knew how to contract trace effectively, hospital treatments weren't as effective, the early strains of the virus were more deadly, the concern was overwhelming ICU, etc.

Chalk and cheese to compare then to now.

For weeks we’ve had morons saying “open everything up”. Now you see why we haven’t
We have haven't we?
For months though everything has been positive and well managed - can’t blame people for thinking that way, and to call them morons now after weeks of saying it is pretty rough.

Easy to be correct in hindsight.

And a lot of the calls have been to maintain the hotel-quarantine and just open up internally.

Perhaps if SA Health were less worried about people drinking while standing, and focused their attention on the hotels, then it wouldn't have gotten out...

Doubt we would have a sat sun comp, I think at this stage all 2 day games are to be postponed and replaced with 1day alternatives in the fixture until we can start playing again. Once it starts getting closer to finals and we run out of time for 1day games then I think points will start being shared (or not awarded)

Not Sat/Sun for the mens, but Saturday and Sunday fixtures, as the Mens on Saturday and the Women's and Juniors games on Sundays.

If only that were true

The individual lied, should be smashed by the public, but how on earth did the interviews with the pizza bar not reveal this guys name and they then say hang on, he works here?

The owners of the bar are just a culpable imo.

Everyone should order pizzas from them over the next 4 months and never rock up to pay for them.

These pricks need to be run out of business.

Bit more to play out here. Can see this pizza bar getting shut down.

Yeah you'd hope they do a full review and make sure these people are on the books, have been paying the appropriate tax etc.
Hopefully a few years in jail for tax evasion is on the cards....

Some bloke reckons we are going into a 3 day lock down to be announced at the 12.30 presser.

So now its over, interesting to reflect back on this one from Mr Beefy before the pause was announced.

Rumor doing the rounds at the moment is the intent was always a three day lockdown to give tracers time to catch up and quarantine anyone they needed to, then they decided to roll with 6 to give them the ability to announce good news once they got through it early.
When the zero arrived on day 1, they started to cop backlash, so ran with the pizza bar guy as a scapegoat.

We'll never know the truth but it has worked out quite well for the government to have someone to blame.

Very good piece from Tom Richardson

https://indaily.com.au/news/analysis/2020/11/23/what-went-wrong-seven-days-that-changed-sa/

SA Health is still a basket case

Nah, it was rubbish.
Basically an opinion piece from him trying to defend the journos hidden as a week in review.

Tom continues to push the theory that paying the workers more so they don't have second jobs would have solved the problem.
It wouldn't. As seen with this cluster, the majority of transmission has occurred at home, not at second jobs.
And if these people don't have second jobs, then they are spending that time out in the community at social outings (either public or private), once again, spreading the virus.

Asking the workers to go into their own lockdowns while not at work, and not socialise with anyone, is unreasonable.
Asking them not to work a second job, but allow social activity (which seems to be the line the journos are pushing) achieves nothing to minimise the risk of further transmission.

The key to stopping these clusters is to keep the disease in the medi-hotel in the first place!

Rumour about to announce easing up of restrictions with Community sport :shock:

Going to be 40 degrees on the weekend, just leave it until Dec 1 like planned :evil:

Yeah gutted i really wanted to play this week but not in 42 degrees thanks.

Marshall once again confirmed December 1st.

I fit does change, Turf comps likely to hide behind the fact that its short notice and say decks can't be prepared in time and as such, comps will resume on Dec 1st.

Whilst we can nit pick at the government I think they have handled this pretty reasonable. It's clear when this cluster broke they were dealing with a combination of failed systems, mistruths from people involved and a lot of unknown information.

Fearful of a second wave and the potential lock down over Christmas they took the most drastic action which ultimately, rightly or wrong, justified or unjustified protected us and stopped a second wave whether it was coming or not.

They have admitted some flaws in the system and are looking to rectify which should only see the state become safer and take us another step closer to getting back to normality.

Yup, agree entirely.

I obviously can't speak for the media and others in society, however my 'nit picking' comes from a position of trying to make sure we don't go into another lockdown.
We know there are going to be more and more returned travellers who are positive, that's the nature of the virus overseas being out of control.

I'm not interested in sh!tcanning the politicians and public officials, but I am very keen for them to find out exactly what has occurred and put processes in place to stop it in the future.

From an outsiders perspective, it appears SA Health did nothing to investigate the source of the virus getting out, and therefore couldn't put effective management strategies in place to prevent the next one from occurring.

However once it becomes a public relations issue all of a sudden we can find 36 detectives who crawl through 500 hours of footage looking for a pizza delivery driver in the hotel and now we are learning that patient 0 is a different person and the assumed method of virus transfer is different.

I would have loved this investigation to have occurred 10 days ago so we can get on top of preventing the next one, not relying on good fortune and a massive lockdown in the event we are not fortunate.

Once again, very happy for them to make mistakes, provided they act quickly to review themselves, and not just act quickly by shutting down the rest of the state.

Going to be an interesting presser tomorrow

The Spaniard is going to get blamed for this one too no doubt!

Before you know it the rumors will be the 36 year old was seen kissing school girls behind the pizza bar and thats why he needs a lawyer, not cause he was getting paid cash or dealing drugs or visiting guests in the Peppers Hotel!!!

Tell me if I'm wrong here, please.

Collingwood trade Treloar, picks 26,33 and 42 (1687 points) for pick 14 and future 2nd rounder ( we'll call it pick 30, for points value - 1790 points ). So let's call the points even, for arguments sake.

As such Treloar for pick 14, does that pass the "pub test" when taking into account the AFL Integrity Unit sign off on all trades being fair and "market value"? For mine, it doesn't, again, tell me if you think I'm wrong.

I think your summary is wrong. (I'm working on the assumption that all they are getting is Pick 14 and the future 2nd rounder you mentioned above).

Collingwood give up: Treloar, picks 26, 33 and 42 or (Treloar & 1687 points).
Collingwood get: Pick 14 (1161) and Future Pick 30 (629pts) = 1790points.

In short, collingwood give up treloar and get a NET 103points, or the equivalent of pick 64.

Collingwood haven't given up Treloar for Pick 14, they've given him up for pick 64!!!!!

I agree it doesn't pass the sniff test!!!

Normal by Xmas

Boarders still Dec 1, and Community sport back Dec 1.

Caps on pubs gone from Dec 1, subject to QR codes.
1 per 4m2 indoors (seated).
1 per 2m2 outdoors (standing)

Private capts on private functions remain at 150.

Households restricted to 10 still.

These restrictions to be lifted approx Dec 15.

Regional travel still OK Im guessing?

Yup:

Travel within SA
Travel within most of South Australia is unrestricted, although people are advised to avoid unnecessary travel.

Some restrictions are currently in place in the APY Lands.

https://www.covid-19.sa.gov.au/restrictions-and-responsibilities/travel-restrictions#insa

No time set yet for todays press conference, I suspect they are working through issues with the new app / QR codes.

Individuals can't download/update the app.
Clubs/Businesses who need to display the QR codes from tomorrow morning are all at different stages. Some have been sent updated plans with codes, some have been sent emails saying they will get a new plan today, some haven't had any contact at all from SA Health.

If SA Health use this as an excuse to not relax the restrictions tomorrow and community sport gets pushed back again I'm going to be furious , but then do nothing about it anyway.

Isolation and quarantine confuses me.

He was advised to get a test days 1 and 12, and isolate, but didn't need to quarantine for 14 days?

Quarantine is full 14 days - generally issued to Close Contacts or known hotspots.

Get tested and Isolate - is an order to isolate until the test result it known. Generally Applies to casual contacts, and locations that are not considered hotspots but rather just locations of interest.

The further confusing part is Flinders Uni was previously a location of interest, and is now a defined hotspot, so the advice this individual was given is different to those that have been there since, and are now required to do the full 14 day quarantine.

Not all businesses have received the QR code info either

We haven't as yet. We have received the info to say we need to have one but haven't received any further info. So what happens if businesses dont receive that info?
Can they open?

We've rung the hotline today.
We've got a screenshot of the call log showing we contact them.

We intend to open tomorrow and display our codes as soon as they arrive.

If they don't arrive before the inspection we will explain that's what has occurred and we are still waiting.

The commissioner has repeatedly said they will have a transition period and won't fine people from day 1 if you are trying to do the right thing.
Showing we've contacted SA Heath is part of that.

We will also still have paper records to further show we are doing what we can while the system catches up.

100% back on tomorrow. Now we just have to prey that it doesn’t rain too bad tonight.

Rain finished by 9am, strong winds tomorrow, grounds with curators available during the afternoon tomorrow should get away. Those preparing decks tonight and leaving them and hoping for the best, they are going to be in doubt I would suspect.

So what changes if any come in to play tomorrow?

Basically the 5 main changes are:

We open the border with Victoria, letting them in. (No word on changes for us going there).

Community Sport Returns

Weddings, Funerals, etc all get bumped up to 150 people.

Pubs no longer have a cap on the total number of people, provided they meet the square metre rules.
Outdoor: 1 per 2m2, Indoor: 1 per 4m2.

QR codes come in to play.

Cmon JK lift a notch!!!

Not sure what I can do differently lol. The Receptionist at my neuro looked at me like i was daft (not entirely wrong I will concede), then whipped around to show me how to do it and immediately remarked “oh, that’s weird, here’s a pen for our list” lol

Agreed, as I was setting up the registration process it would restart everytime I exited the app, bloody annoying.

Ok, I'll try and help.

One of two ways to resolve this:

1) Once you check in and it asks you for the code to confirm, ignore the text message, just click on the box to type the code in and it should pop up as a suggested response from your text messages (iphone is reading your incoming messages before you can even look at it yourself!).

If that doesn't work, it's a bit of a longer process but should help:

1) go into your settings and change it so that text messages show the preview (banner preview).
2) scan in and this time as the message comes in, you'll be able to see the code as it arrives, its 6 digits so either remember it as it flashes up quickly or have a pen ready to go to write it down while it is still on the screen (approx 5 seconds).
3) type it in and confirm.

Obviously if you want to after you've done that, you can go back to your settings and change your messages to not display the preview.

Also, you only have to confirm via text once so don't worry that you need to do the above every time!

So much to play out and so many unknowns, not on the football front but on the Chinese front, they (the government there) might stop Chinese companies sending money to Australia

Its fairly clear for anyone looking at the big picture. All these issues with taxes on Wine, banning of Australian beef, tweeting of photoshopped pictures of Australian military with knifes to children's throats, etc, it's got nothing to do with Morrison asking for an inquiry into the Covid outbreak, it's purely China throwing the toys out of the cot because they didn't get their promised Port Power game!

I'm not one of the sheeple who completely and TOTALLY believes the fake MSM.

I watched the channel 7 news one night and this lovely blonde lady told me it was going to rain tomorrow.
The next day I took my umbrella with me and it rained and I was able to stay dry because I had my umbrella with me.
Ever since then I've completely and TOTALLY believed everything I see on TV.

Just remembered I forgot to sign in to bentleys Saturday night. Walked in with the kids to find someone they know
So they could sit down, then went straight to the front bar. Completely forgot. Lucky I used my card so "they" know.

I think this is going to be an issue moving forward.

When the next outbreak arrives, are the authorities going to blindly rely on this information?
People who didn't check in don't get tracked down?
Or the positive person misses a site he/she went to as they forgot to check in themselves?

And if they are going to say they will still do the old methods and interview them intensively, blast the media with locations of concern, etc, then does the app help?

By the way, like you, despite my concerns that it won't really help, I too am being a sheeple.
Heck, I even chuck on a mask when I go into the shops.

A woman at work when it comes to describing her son and husband's jobs.

There's been a few doozies over the years when people have asked.

"What does your son do?"
"He umpires AFL" is her reply. (He is a boundary umpire in the ammo's).
"He's a security guard" was another. (He checks peoples temps with a temp gun as they enter a work site).

"What does you husband do?
"He's a lab technician" was todays reply. (He works for a soil testing company).

Don't be so negative.
It's good that she's proud of her family.

I have a job where I spend 7.6 hours doing all I can to pretend to be working without actually doing anything useful. I am not proud of what I do, nor is anyone I know talking up my contributions to a productive society.

Running 20 minutes less each day and claiming you're fitter? Righto buddy.

The basics are no longer as sound across the board and as such the standard in general has dropped particularly in the younger players?

Exactly what we grumpy old bastards feared would happen years ago.

Yes, but not all of the decline is as a result of T20.

Society as a whole has moved away from what it took to be a good cricketer when we were growing up vs the kids of today.

A 3 hour movie is now a 7 second instagram reel or snapchat.
A 5,000 word essay is now a 4 minute oral presentation.

when kids used to be dedicated, train hard and wait for their turn, now they just spit the chewy and change clubs on the promise of A-grade games.

Difference here is the senior employee's now ex partner is involved in the workplace in I assume unpaid capacity. It might force staff to pick sides and resent the other party.

Yeah, nothing wrong with a ban on all workplace relationships cause they get messy, and if that's all the article spoke about then I wouldn't have commented.

However the section I quoted, specifically implying an imbalance of power and predatory behaviour is what I have an issue with.

We are not talking about a person under the age of 16 here, or even if Hardwick was a in a position of trust (cop, school teacher, etc) where his partner would then need to be 18.
He's dating an adult and for that to lead to suggestions that he's a sexual predator abusing his authority to force her into an unwanted relationship is gutter journalism IMO.

A lot of casino members are being given free rooms (as it's basically empty), if you know someone hit them up and grab it off them for a carton of beer!

Some senior members of the club are understood to have raised concerns that Hardwick’s relationship with the staff member has similarities to the AFL’s situation with executives Simon Lethlean and Richard Simkiss’s relationships with younger employees in 2017.

Both resigned acknowledging the relationships were inappropriate.

I'm not sure I'm comfortable with this line of thinking (in society as a whole) that any relationship within a work environment must involve people of the same ranking in the hierarchy otherwise its automatically considered predatory.

I think its an unnecessary slur against the senior member of the relationship, not to mention degrading to the junior to imply he/she isn't able to make up their own mind and decide if they want to date someone or not.
