Given the way we're playing, maybe he wishes he stuck to his guns.How much of a sheep was Darling getting vaccinated. Bet he feels dumb now

Why would the Bulldogs sign him for 3 years? Hope they got him cheap.
Just don't bang men and you will be ok.

I can’t promise anything.
I jest, I am just posting that because they were the headlines weeks ago
The AFLs backflip on the Vax mandate and his predicted return will vindicate his stance. His body his choice. One of very few with a backbone.
Money is easy to make. Liam had a stance and he stuck by it.And lost probably $500,000 but let's go with vindicated if that's really what you think
It’s hilarious how anti vaxxers make themselves sound like heroes.

The AFL didn’t backflip on anything. It was always a temporary measure. Meanwhile, Jones lost half a million dollars and the chance to play finals football over a stance not supported by science or experience. Trying to spin that as a win is fanciful.

Trying to tell an anti-vaxxer to listen to the science is a noble, but ultimately futile, task.
Some men put values ahead of money and opportunities. Liam made a decision and stood by it.
Now he will return without having had to comprimise. In some cultures it's called having cajones

Some mock him, others celebrate him.
Liam said stuff you , take ya money and shove it. I ain't doing it.
But he didnt let himself down. And that comes before everything and eveyone else.
It's hilarious how the crowd try to shame the non conformer. Simply bucking a trend or popular opinion isnt heroic at all. Liam never got on a soapbox and made himself out to be anything. He stood by his decision and was prepared to forgo his career in the AFL.

I don’t value stupidity. But you’re right, plenty do, and we live in a society where he was allowed to.
I look forward to seeing a healthy Liam Jones competing at the elite level in the sport of Aussie rules again very very soon.
No doubt will receive a warm welcome from the fans.
Righteo, come back in 6 mths with $500k, I’ll set a calendar reminder.
