Australian Rules Footballer Quits the Game Following the League’s ‘No Jab, No Job’ Policy
Australian rules footballer Liam Jones (pictured) has announced his retirement from the game in preference to getting double-jabbed, after the Australian Football League adopted a ‘No Jab, No Job’ policy. Jones has terminated his contract worth around 500,000 AUD per year. The Mail Australia has more.
The team had been in talks with Jones after he expressed hesitancy about taking the Covid vaccine.
But he refused to change his stance and get vaccinated, despite the AFL’s ‘no-jab, no-play’ policy.
“I wish to announce my retirement from AFL football effective immediately,” Jones said in a statement on Sunday.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank all who have supported me throughout my journey, both personally and professionally.
“I love the game and I’ll miss my teammates.
“I hope that people respect my decision and privacy – neither myself or my management team will be making any further comment on the matter.”
Carlton Head of Football Brad Lloyd gave thanks to Jones for his time with the club.
“We have been in constant dialogue with Liam in recent months and allowing him the time he needed to make an informed decision regarding his playing career,” Lloyd said.
“Liam confirmed with us today that he has made the decision to retire, and his wish for the specific reasons of that decision to be kept private – as a club, we will be respecting that.
“We thank Liam for his seven years of service to the Carlton Football Club, he earned every part of the 161 games he played, which included a complete positional transformation in the middle of his career, that could have only been possible with supreme dedication and hard work.
“We wish Liam all the best for the next phase of his life,” said Lloyd.

Good for him, a man with integrity.
Or, simply, sanity!
Probably both.
So what is he, Daily Mail, vaccine “hesitant”, “vaccine sceptic”, or “anti-vax”? Pathetic attempt at discrediting him.
“Principled” is what he is.
Moreover, his actions will trigger very uncomfortable feelings among those who are getting jabbed just to go along, which is the majority. They will wonder what it is that makes someone give up that kind of money and living.
The small minded will dismiss him and mock him. But it will make many think a bit more carefully about jabs and the coercion involved.
Well done, him.
Very uncomfortable feelings indeed. The resignations by a couple of Victorian police seem to have had some influence on the response by remaining cops to the street rallies. If Liam’s exit has a similar effect the AFL might be seeing some understrength teams running out in 2022.
They’ll be understrength alright, when their vaxxed players are dropping like flies.
As the saying goes, ‘it will sort the men from the boys’.
I would also add – sensible.
Indeed.
Just 30 years old. He has no guarantee of finding employment- certainly not as a Rules Footballer- no guarantee of entitlement to pension rights, no guarantee even, in the Fascist Wonderful Kingdom of Oz, of being able to access unemployment benefits. He is a proper man, a brave man, a man who puts most of us to shame.
I don’t know much about this game but maybe a Florida/Texan-based NFL team might give him a try out? Would be good publicity if nothing else.
I really, really hope that such an opportunity comes his way. Surely he’d be able to get the hang of what it takes to be an NFL running back. He deserves every good fortune which comes his way.
I am talking to the doctor tomorrow about being granted medical exemption for the non vaccines. I won’t be taking one, regardless of what the doctor says, because I live my life as though I have a vaccine induced autoimmune condition because that is what my daughter has. I will report back to the forum.
That will be interesting, given that you have a rationally unquestionable reason for refusal. (Mind you, everybody has if properly examined).
Someone actually downvoted that??
Australia is lost. How can their politicians ever turn back from their utter over-reaction? They went for zero-covid and it almost looked like a good call in the early stages, but then the ‘vaccines’ turned out to to be essentially worthless and they can’t bring themselves to change tack. They, along with other countries encouraging the experimental drugs they call vaccines, are trying to wipe out the control groups (unvaccinated) so they can’t be shown to have messed up their covid responses.
You are missing the obvious – this has nothing to do with C1984.
The Aussie govt were always on a hiding-to-nothing with any zero-covid strategy. Why? Because the SARS-CoV-2 virus has an animal reservoir, so you can never eradicate it. If the so-called medical experts haven’t realised this yet, we need new experts. This is also the reason why we WERE able to eradicate Smallpox, as that virus has no animal reservoir, and only survives in humans. Smallpox is therefore NOT comparable to SARS-CoV-2.
The only way to effectively protect humans is via natural immunity, which means for those who do become ill, early stage medicinal treatment (as the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh did with their Test & Treat programme, based on Ivermectin. A state of over 200m people that’s now declared covid-free).
That doesn’t sound like ‘hesitancy’ to me!
The propaganda machine has nothing in between ‘hesitant’ (they’ve not been bullied into it yet) and ‘anti-vaxxer’ (which they use as a term of abuse for someone who won’t be bullied)…
No. In the end I think just about everyone will be an anti-vaxxer!
I have been jabbed for smallpox, TB, polio, diphtheria, whooping cough, etc. I am not an anti-vaxxer.
But SARS-CoV-2 is a different kettle of fish altogether. The vaccines are untested and are now proving to be less effective than we were told. The whole bullying regime is despicable. I stand firmly against it. I am anti-lockdown, anti-mask, anti-bullying and anti-clotshot. But I am not a “denier” nor “anti-vaxxer” nor any other puerile insult they want to throw at me.
“Anti-vaxxer” might just turn out to be the most life-preserving stance a human could ever take, and thus be transformed from an insult to high praise!
In the context of this covid hysteria that may well be the case. But if the political machinations destroy trust in vaccines generally it will be detrimental.
There is no earned trust, only blind faith and outright stupidity.
Or dead.
He appears to have no tattoos either so he is probably a freethinker. I wonder what the % of vaxxed tattooed is compared to unvaxxed untattooed?
Not sure about the comparison… but then I have a tattoo 😂
Proof you’re not afraid of needles, that will upset the jabby jabbys like Piers Morgan and HMQ 😆
It’s a perfectly good question tbh
I expect about 10% these days, similar to the number who apparently cannot be hypnotised and who would stay seated in a Dr’s waiting room while the other 9 people there stood up every time a buzzer rang. Oddly, about the same amount as are left handed (I’ll admit to being biased there).
Yes, I’m left-handed and a complete sceptic who hates groupthink. I find it incredible doctors want to inject substances into people that interfere with their genetic immunity without even considering their current medical weaknesses or comorbidities. Very little is known about the long-term effects of spike-proteins on the immune system because all sorts of medical subdisciplines, like neuroscience or immunology, are very under-developed. Why should one be a guinea-pig for “The Science” when ignorance and experimentation characterises what immunologists know themselves?
Good point, tattoos used to express individuality now they are just another confirmation you’re talking to a mindless sheep. Tramp stamps I call them.
I honestly suspect that the untattoed under 50s are more likely to also be ‘unvaxxed’ as they haven’t just followed the trend to be inked as a fashion statement. Someone could do a study perhaps (I’m all for the triple vaxxed being given a free tattoo to demonstrate their obedience – unfortunately many would accept this as a badge of honour and any comparison with Nazi Germany would be lost on them).
A swastika on the forehead would be the real badge of honour.
the tattoo offered to them should surely be of a syringe?!
Good point.
I don’t have a tattoo but I have been considering, not very seriously, about having the Athanasian Creed tattooed on my back.
In Latin, of course.
Not sure the wife would like that.
“We have been in constant dialogue with Liam in recent months and allowing him the time he needed to make an informed decision…” – and he DID make an informed decision. Just wish there were more informed and far less ignorant.
The amount of pressure (coercion) he must have been subjected to to have the “vaccine” must have been off the chart. Take note, unvaccinated NHS England staff – I think this is what you can look forward to too. Hold the line, comrades.

Great to see some principles. Of course it’s easier when you’re earning half a million a year than a 30k nurse.
Is it though? I’m sure this man has been under a lot of individual pressure, as a high-profile individual
It is. Being able to retire tomorrow and live comfortably allows for freedoms that those which couldn’t afford to feed their children do not have. I am fortunate to not have children and could survive 2-3 years on savings where I to take a more extreme stand, it makes it easier IMO. I’d starve before giving in to this disgusting assault on bodily autonomy but I wouldn’t make children starve.
Yes it is. Is a single parent nurse going to lose her home and have no money to feed her children or take the jab?
I’m not saying what this guy has done isn’t admirable – it is. Hugely.
I’m a nurse and earn 70k per year. Based on principle and not being property of the state, I have decided to end my career. If the NHS mandates such tyranny then I no longer wish to be a part of it. Unlike most people I don’t just whine about the situation, I act on my principles. I urge others to do the same.
Salute you.
Oh FO.
You fuck off you cunt
It wouldn’t be easy, but a clued up person would have no other option. The vaccines are lethal and the main variable is whether they kill you early or a year so down the road. Not a great choice.
Yes it’s probably easier (but he is giving up something he probably loved and has worked all his life for) though I think others have interpreted this as you diminishing his actions in some way. Leaving that debate aside, I think the point to focus on is that we need high profile people to speak out and normalise the non-vaxxed position. The more that do, the harder it is for the position to be marginalised.
Step forward the real men of character.
Indeed.
It takes a strong fish to swim against the tide.
Absolutely
Even a dead one can float with it.
And a lot of dead fish are. Dead and stinking.
First time in 20 years something from the BBC has entertained me.
The BBC’s outgoing head of news has told LGBT staff they “have to get used to” hearing things “they do not personally like”.
“She was reacting to questions from the [Pride] network that implied people shouldn’t come across views they disliked. To me, it felt like she was having to explain journalism to idiots.”
I suspect it was almost exclusively the T people the head of news was referring to.
‘Everyone’s annoyed at the T’s’
“To me, it felt like she was having to explain journalism to idiots”
Except I don’t consider these people to be journalists nor do I consider the BBC to be an organisation involved in journalism. It’s a political campaigning organisation using journalism and entertainment as a cover. And I am not sure these people are all idiots. Doutbless some are, but suppressing views you dislike is a tool in their war and they well know it.
So not hesitant then. Good for him.

Update from Anna de Buisseret
I dunno about the legal approach, i’m losing faith, the more time goes by the more they look like fantasists at best & conmen at worst.
I was sucked in by Bernician at first, but he’s clearly a fantasist. Reiner Fuellmich holding public zoom meetings advertising his case to the opposition seems questionable, Anna certainly sounds like she knows the law. But the judiciary are captured & corrupt.
This will never end without people power, it will take revolution, not court papers, to turn this around. I think perhaps she’s also in denial in what we’re up against.
You are correct. Courts and judges have been bought so no assistance from those cowards. It’s down to us.
This court hasn’t been bought:

US Fifth Circuit Federal Appeals Court ruled that Biden’s vaccine mandate was unconstitutional
Austria is the “first” country to impose a lockdown on only the unvaccinated. This is how Russia Today are reporting the disgrace that will tarnish Austria from tomorrow. As far as I know it hasn’t been framed like that in the British media yet, but it probably will be – perhaps even before today is out.
The Independent has published a piece by Sean Gauleiter O’Grady, their associate editor: “Austria has the right idea – put the unvaccinated in lockdown“. The scumbag writes:
What a brave man.
Why would health services collapse if the vaccines work?
The Austrian unvaxxed – about 2 million – must ignore this decree and storm their Reichstag.
Enforcing a travel ban against us means (at the very least) either tagging resisters or “Papers!” at every train station and on every bus.
If you are over there, you have my sincere sympathies.
Not if your smart phone says no. And no smart phone is an automatic no.
Sorry – but you are working on the assumption that this is governed by rationality.
‘…extreme measures that may have to be taken when health services start to collapse…’.
Presumably as a result of ADE?
O’Grady desperately in need of a rope.
Cee Yoo Next Tuesday.
Nice one Liam – you are indeed a brave man and an exemplary role model. “Just f***ing say no”, and you’ve said no. Respect!

I’ve pretty much given up on Reiner Fuellmich & his Corona Committee, I don’t know what he, is genuine or not, but it’s all going to be over before the courts even have a hearing. Still interesting to listen too.
I had high hopes of this but sadly it seems to have become an ‘all mouth and trousers’ event. When is something going to happen, if ever?
….
Why keep his reasons private? He should excoriate this coercive and necessary mandate. He’s now a free man. He can say what he really thinks. I wish more athletes would use these big platforms they have.
EDIT: Should be: “coercive and unnecessary mandate.”
No ‘should’ – one of the major aspects of this is the right not to reveal personal medical information.
If Australia and New Zealand come out of lockdown the disease will rip through them all, vaccinated and unvaccinated alike. At the end of the day their levels of fatalities will be like most others who have locked down and released, as the complacent French, Germans, Danes and Austrians who were held up to us as shining examples of obedience to their leaders’ instructions.
I have a theory about Australia’s low covid,……………..
Humidity.
In the sage words of the great Neil Oliver.. This is not about what they say it’s about.
“allowing him the time he needed to make an informed decision regarding his playing career”
But absolutely under no circumstances an “informed decision” about what goes into his body. These people need to hang.
That’s just an excuse. I would have thought that he had plenty of time to make an informed decision. Good for him.
Authorities in Canada admit what their ‘vaccine’ passport system is for – to punish the ‘unvaccinated’

Just watched the Tesco Christmas video: spend like there’s no tomorrow, and don’t worry because Father Christmas has been vaccinated – he’s shown his papers – and therefore he won’t be locked up…
Meanwhile in supermarkets in Latvia from tomorrow, it’s prove you’re vaccinated at the door (using QR code or paper document) or else you can’t come in. How long do we reckon it will be until the same policy comes to Britain? Two weeks?
After the upcoming by elections, that would be my bet. ‘Infections are remaining stubbornly high, we must do something to preserve Christmas and New Year Celebrations’
Considering the amount of sportspeople dropping dead with heart attacks, I’d say it was a sensible choice not to get jabbed.
Good example – the flyweight boxer who went down after a double jab 🙂
Yes, here is a pertinent link;

Government-approved Covid testing firm faces watchdog probe over plans to sell swabs with customers’ DNA for medical research
There you are, I said this back in 2020! Check how many shares the cabinet has in genome sequencing companies. Mass testing = mass DNA data collection.
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they have been taking DNA from babies as soon as they are born for the past 30 years or more.
Notice how quickly the fuzz find serious crime suspects now (of course that’s not a bad thing) but how? DNA databases, mobile phone surveillance! There’s a lot they’re not telling us.
Occasionally we see back-stage.

In connection with the taxi fire outside the hospital in Liverpool, which killed at least one person, three men have now been arrested under the Terrorism Act. To judge from photos, it does not seem that any explosives were used, so this does not seem to have been a car bomb. The fatality may well have been of a person who was inside the taxi.
If the war between Daesh and the US and its satellites were what we are told it is, there would have been many terror attacks in Europe since last March (hit the enemy when it’s weak, and at its weakest points) which there haven’t been.

What about now?
Our healthcare system is about to experience a tsunami! Potential side effects of jabs include chronic inflammation, because the vaccine continuously stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. Other concerns include the possible integration of plasmid DNA into the body’s host genome, resulting in mutations, problems with DNA replication, triggering of autoimmune responses, and activation of cancer-causing genes. Alternative COVID cures EXIST. Ivermectin is one of them. While Ivermectin is very effective curing COVID symptoms, it has also been shown to eliminate certain cancers. Do not get the poison jab. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com
