    Jones is a man of his conviction. Carlton gets another list spot and doesn't the recruitment of Lewis Young seems like a good one now.

    Well, I can't agree with him but I can respect that he stuck to his word.

    Not sure if this will work, but Sooshi Mango did a brilliant reel about getting the jab.

    I definitely respect Liam’s decision to weaken the Carlton backline at this stage of the offseason.

    I don't think badly of him for his beliefs but just wonder if he's getting his information from good sources. You'd expect he would be.
    How can he be getting information from good sources.

    i know that having a minority view is not necessarily incorrect ( I have plenty of views that sit in the minority) but the overwhelming evidence in favour of vaccination is hard to logically challenge.

    Yep, agree. I was in a seminar with Dr Rob Grenfell Friday and he was so proud we are leading the world in vaccination rates.
    His Swiss colleagues (the Swiss are generally compliant) were wondering how we did it.

    (worlds longest lockdown probably!).

    This graph shows the distribution across our regional areas and we are kicking butt!

    Imagine if Easton Wood retired with a year to run on his contract for the exact same reasons. Would our collective admiration of Easton change?

    This is why people's medical history should be nobody's business but their own and their personal doctor. Sleazebag politicians on all sides have no place whatsoever intruding in the private lives of their own citizens. It's real creepy dystopian stuff, and sadly it looks here to stay for the foreseable future.

    Jones gets full credit from me for having skin in the game and foregoing $500k just next year alone to stick to his personal beliefs, whether I agree with them or not. He is taking a massive personal financial hit probably to the tune of $1.5m plus, retiring early while still at the top of his game. There is not one political grub on earth who would ever do the same.

    Full agree Sedat, I don't understand his reasons but good on him for sticking up for his beliefs and at a huge financial and social cost.
    He is giving up on many of the freedoms most of us will start to enjoy and hasn't tried to drag others into his stance....he has actually made his decision with a bit of quiet dignity.

    It will be interesting to hear his reasoning somewhere down the track.

    It depends on the reasoning. If motivations come from an anti-science perspective then yes, however, if they came from a principled perspective then no.

    I really hope for Jones' sake it's the latter (actually, I don't care), because it would be a real shame for him to give up five hundred large based on a bunch of crap he's read on the interwebs.

    I'm glad all our front line workers haven't collectively taken the same stance.
    I guess it's nice to laud an outlier for their personal beliefs because it has minimal effect on the functioning of society.

    If paramedics, doctors, nurses et al started having similar ideas en masse I wonder if our philosophical acceptance of him sticking to his guns would change.

    A lot of people have sacrificed we know that for sure.

    I havent decided what I think about Jones' decision at this stage.

    But it's his and that's cool.

    There would be a very large portion of the 90% (and rising) who have been jabbed that are pro-jab and anti-mandate. The interwebz crowd is miniscule, but they are cynically and conveniently used by the meedya as the public face to frame the narrative for the govt interventionist crowd. Irrespective, I don't really care about the reasons - I just want politicians to leave us all the hell alone. We have more than enough people jabbed and absolutely everyone has now had access to them. It's actually over now (but we all know it's not).
