When someone beats their partner because they're in a foul mood after their team loses, I think that means sport has already been brought into it. Not everyone has the luxury of 'escapism' or to 'forget life's troubles' Agree, this stance of 'make footy only about footy' is just not possible. Once ...

When a men fight one of them sometimes dies. When men fight women, guess who dies. How many of your 70% of male murder victims were killed by women? I'm sorry, remind me again why the gender of the assailant is relevant? Dead is dead, and when you're dead, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter whether ...

Not a political platform

A sport that doesn’t exist in a bubble. Otherwise you are saying players can have Carte Blanche to do whatever they want, seeing societal issues have no impact on the outcome of sports.

Because they said about 120 games - which suggest 1 home team

I think it was more BT being fed a stat but not actually understanding what he was being told and then screwing up the explanation, he does it pretty regularly

Crowd pleasing umpiring - it’s been going on you decades WCE differential is embarrassing Port have had 500 more free kicks at home in the last decade When averages suggest it should be about even Pretty sure that stat was Adelaide and Port Adelaide combined at home in the past 10 years.

I think Ross is giving reasons/excuses because he knows what fans don’t want to accept. At the moment we are not that good, so rather than just come out and say that and lose commercial support and interest, he takes on the excuses that are suggested to him in the press conferences. I think he knows...

Bne player's gesture to Mel's Petty? A case of bullying to be answered, notwithstanding size difference? Mental health priorities and all. Perhaps the AFL's social justice line is drawn a bit above that sort of banter. Press will milk it, but. What did Jake Carslile have to apologise for that time?...

I look forward to your malpractice lawsuit against umpire Nick Foot.

These are not volunteer amateurs. AFL is a huge operation. Huge. Managing the rules is crucial to its integrity. There are 4 highly paid, fit, well resourced, well coached individuals given that responsibility. Rules may be tricky for an American but we get them. At a minimum there can be consisten...

My issue with this notion of the AFL being out to get us, the umpires favour other teams, etc is that when we do get the rub of the green, or actual errors are made in our favour, it is not acknowledged at all and posters who continually post about how the club is hard done by just overlook it and ...

I presume everyone who said that Max should have got off on his charge because the player got up and kept playing will be hoping that Baker also gets off? I don't think the King and Baker incidents are the same - one was a clip as he ran past - and was extremely silly - the other seemed more of a t...

Young people, middle aged people, and even older people take recreational drugs. They're everywhere and it's a reality we have to accept. The drugs that really count are the performance enhancing drugs like EPO and this is where the testing should focus the most. Most recreational drugs are not per...

No one in AFL circles is talking about Tom Lynch and his head high late hit on Zak Butters. It was similar to Zak being a boxer and getting punched in the head. Sweep it under the carpet because every incident is highlighting the HUGE number of hits to the head in each game. Who the fk wants to rat...

I presume this is the incident being referred to, if the Twitter link works.

Make of it what you will, I am no lynch fan but I don’t think I would be hanging him on this one:

Hayes If the concern of the OP is losing tapouts, Hayes is not the answer. He is 8cms shorter than Rowan and a forward/ruck rather than a ruck. A mobile forward/Ruck is what our structure needs is my guess. I'm not thinking Hayes is introduced to win tap outs becaue a good mobile Ruck due is more v...

Was Simpkin knocked out? Was stretchered off? Any facial injuries? Don’t think contact was made to his head. Whiplash I think got him. Maybe time to leave the thinking to those that can. Looks like head high contact to me. https://static.ffx.io/images/$zoom_1%2C$multiply_0.7554%2C$ratio_1.776846%2C...

Enough is enough. Time to move him on and get the best possible draft pick for him. Even if it is just a late second rounder so be it. We cannot afford to have players continually injured. Get rid of him and move on........ https://preview.redd.it/7pbp59whrh191.png?width=1200&format=png&aut...
