There is more thran one type of flu. Flu shots are good but doesn't guarantee you don't get the flu.

plus it is more likely to be a cold, or rhino (sp) virus rather than the flu - influenza virus

not sure why the idea is being discounted out of hand by some, because if it is true, it will have a dramatic effect on a sportsman performance, particularly at the elite level.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

I know it's from SEN but just putting this rumour out there.
can't see this on thier website at all, or was it someone calling in to say?

very true, i don't get the flu shot anymore as everytime i did i get a bloody cold, then that makes my asthma play up & a 3-4 day bug becomes a 3-4 month illness etc....

Sounds like we are being ridiculed irrespective of the timing . You should thank us - imagine how stroppy you'd have been if we spoke up when we knew?

Probably saved you being given 48hrs off.

I went to the game - players looked off but no more than the Hawks were the previous week. Whether it was flu related or intensity was down doesn't really matter.
Crows were the opposite - almost fanatical pressure on us and our kick outs went back to the dark days.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

If true the Club hasn't used it as excuse and quite rightly so.

Don't want to hear it to be honest

No excuse for that effort on Friday, you cross the line you are right to go and you give your all

We weren't good enough and now just sit inside the 8 when if we a real top 4 chance we'd actually be 4th

you can give your all, all you want, but if you hampered by illness, your all wont be all that flash.

As I've said, we really dont know what the story is, but these viruses take a lot out you, even the more benighn ones that cause the "cold",  and at this level you dont have to drop off by much to be shown up.

If true, it as a valid reason to explain why they were so flat, but I'm glad we have not had any comment from the club about it.

Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."
