The club has posted that thete
It doesn’t stop you from getting really sick, it doesn’t stop you getting it and it doesn’t stop you transmitting it; but it reduces the chances of all three significantly.

The reality is, that worldwide, the number of hospitalisations and deaths are disproportionately weighted towards the one dose and unvaccinated.
For exampke, data from New York shows that the vaccinated are far better off than the unvaccinated:

Would have been better to put Windust in and play a back 3 with the wings deep. But I'm no coach. It wasn't Harry that caused that long ball to be successful though. A few lucky bounces. Seems to be our lot at the moment. Losing to luck.
Youre right it wasn't Harry's fault, I was talking more about upsetting the structure.

On the Perth the goal.
Does anyone know if they checked the push in the back of our player that was jumping for the ball outside the 18 before it floated over those two players?

Could have swarm that’s what they should have been checking for not the offside.

No goo feasting here - again, a game we didnt deserve to win. We learn more each week:

Smith, not horrible but not AL level and a 3rd back up at best.
Muller - Superb performance, goal is coming and my MoM
Miller - cant defend to save his life.
Shit Neymar - maybe NPL level (just)
Beni - Shows us the level of L3 in France
Cumdog - Still adjusting but a natural poacher - love watching him

The AR on the far side was awful, got just about everything wrong both ways.

Think it was for the offside

We’re currently a team screaming for a tactical tweak or formation change or both.
Nothing drastic
But aside from that, we have to be so much more clinical. So f**king wasteful. If we put half the chances we create away, we blow teams off the park.
smith was okay but didn’t get forward at all which looked like he was instructed to sit back tbh.
lewis Miller was sensational. We are so much weaker without him.

Miller was excellent, Smith surprised me, solid performance. That's about it, the rest is obvious. Coach's first senior season and players still coming up to fitness. Muller i wouldn't be playing more than about 30 mins at moment, he disappeared again. This is a team we should have destroyed. I'm sure there will be talk of schedule and man management, preserving squad or whatever, not good enough, they were rubbish and we should have put them to the sword.

That game I think is on Monty poor subs. Very disappointing result. Messing with the back line silly. Taking both are starting strikers off we had nothing up front.Miller definitely man of the match
Gotta agree Beni has no idea how to defend.... with both Nizzy & Strom Boy on the bench either were by far a better choice ....

To this with Miller and Hall behind him an neither are great callers of players to positions.... putting an attacking player on when we still had Muller and Moresche on the field when we were leading was what lead to the late gaol....

Clear loss and after the goal we played for the ugly win and couldn’t do it. Big gamble against Perth and very negative play when they were tiring we kicked it around the back and let them recover. Monty’s worst game of the season and he has to take the blame for the negative tactics and poor subs.

Old Mariners stuff of playing to your oppositions level, very disappointed and we have a long way to go if we want to play finals this season. This away trip with three very tuff games is going to define our season. Could put us close to last if we don’t pick points up. And we never win in Melbourne. Wish I could get my money back for that game.

As I spoke to Wombat at half time. We have no real penetration through the midfield. Some good runs into space but no one-twos, there is nobody terrorising the opposition up the middle. The only terrorist on the field was Miller who runs at the defence with the ball.
Urena and Matty combined brilliantly together last year. Nizzy and Urena play beautiful one-twos together. They are the only two players who have taken full advantage of Marco's skills.
Hopefully Cummings and Marco can develop together, early days yet.
Unlike others I do not mind Moresche or Benni both are raw but cause oppositions heaps of headaches, give them time to learn.
Ollie needs a decent, defensive skilful #6 or #8 next to him so he does not have to cover both roles. Hopefully that will be Nizzy when he fully recovers.
Muller had a good game, but looks more like a forward than a winger but will suit Monty's game of having one winger (if not both) cutting in. Hopefully he and Cy will be he wingers and allow Nizzy back in midfield with Ollie.

Specifically on individual players:
Miller, Ollie, Birraz and Kye. Pick your own 3 2 1 from those four.

F***, this team looks ordinary without a fit Nizzy.

Beni was very ordinary on and off the ball.

Moresche's decision making isn't where it ought to be either - there was one chance in particular where he should've found Müller but instead found a foul and we wasted the free kick.

And again, concentration was lacking at the death.

Upsides? Müller, Ureña and Cummings were all threatening, Smith put in a good shift, Hall and Rowles both looked good and Lewis Miller had a good crack.

We're not a bad team, but we're certainly not at the top echelon. The league is close enough in standard that it's not far to fall to the bottom, but if we put a floor under this slide we can still make finals.

One to rue rather than rage over, but (at risk of trying to win the game/s just played) in combination with Wednesday there appears to be a vulnerability that must be addressed.
