And Robbo if Shane Warne hates Waleed Aly - which I’m not certain he does - why is it racist if he hates Waleed & not racist if he hates you or me? Stop driving the race garbage for every single dispute or discussion. Soon there won’t be any discussion for fear of being tainted.

As an independent to both teams, Swans got a dream ride off umpires including the clincher late with Papley pushing Moore in back and dropping mark. Home crowd is a massive influence for umpire decisions.

Did I just hear Whiteley call the booing “foul”. His embellishment & sensationalism of minor issues is boring. Trying to be the moral arbitrator of society. He’s way above his head. Over-politically correct peanut.

If Goodwin had any dignity and character he would stay right out of any comments relating to the incident. Very poor from a club leader……100% would not have said that if they won which to me says he’s sooking.

I find it interesting how precious journo’s have immediately jumped into defence mode and challenging LB’s ability to coach. As for Caro suggesting a 6 figure fine…shows a complete lack of logic and rationale.

What on earth is all this garbage about booing at the presentation. It was evidently an awesome game with a classic finish and all media are squawking about is booing! It’s a fans right. Deal with causes and fix umpiring and the effects (booing) may subside somewhat.

Let’s get 1 thing straight! Caleb didn’t sling Max…..Max slung himself in an effort to earn a free kick for dangerous tackle but overcooked it. Daniel stood looking at him in surprise at his fake. That’s my reading.

If the AFL are happy for games to be decided by 50m penalties because of their man on mark rule the game is truly cooked.

I’m interested to read the “god-like” references to Essendon recruiting “legend” Adrian Dodoro. I’ve witnessed first hand the stalling and destruction of most years trade weeks which usually start with an Essendon “deal” that holds up everything. Bombers renowned as worst to deal

Look, seriously at the end of the day it’s just a Mickey Mouse competition…..a national pastime. It’s not that important. The real objective is funding a dozen AFL execs a million bucks a year. Only sport in the world that best performers are outstripped by execs administering

Can’t Shane not like Waleed Aly for other reasons? I mean after all he is immersed in Muslim countries through cricket. It really pisses me off when there is disagreement between 2 people & imbeciles immediately raise the red card & cry racist! It’s so pathetic & weak.

More damming evidence that AFL is not a serious competition - it’s just a toy for spoilt sycophants in positions of power to meddle with & satisfy their ego’s. It’s manifestly unconscionable for administrators of game to implement ridiculous rule tests in “dead rubber” rounds

Whatley is such a disappointing person. His mindless defence & grovelling to his Geelong buddy is cringeworthy. Hocking clearly loads the gun & Smithers Whately fires the bullets. He has zero idea about the inner dynamics of AFL. So sad. Unconscionable.

Want to apologise to Michael Christian on tribunal. I’m now hearing he’s a merely a puppet for ex-Geelong man Steve Hocking who makes all decisions. Probably why Ablett (twice), Hawkins got off which has confused footy world with inconsistencies. Gut & jumper punches ok now too??

Completely understand Clarke’s decision. What a disgrace this process has been. AFL desperate attempts to be the moral compass of society instead of sticking to their knitting - football. Hope Clarko sues AFL for this process that has defamed him.

Why do umpires coach? “Don’t do anything you’ll lose the free”. Just let players play & adjudicate. Stay out of everything. No commentary, no advice, no coaching, just referee.

Interesting how we unfortunately hear about Clayton Oliver’s off-field trials and tribulations. Now part of his rehab program is to move into Captain Gawns house. I can only assume the coach had been living at Gawns as well then?🤔 Fish rots at the head. Pretty difficult putting

“I’ll pay a free kick NEXT TIME”! WTF!! Was it legal this time? How can umpires be selective like that? It’s either a free kick or not.

This is an interesting incident to test AFL’s theory on concussion and accidental contact. One thing is certain……if it was an opponent in exactly the same incident they’d get 4-6 weeks.

Why would an umpire tell Viney to watch his legs when he gets up? Shut up umpire. If the player transgresses pay a FK. If not shut up. You are not a coach. You are there to apply the rules.

How long is Tennis Australia & International Tennis Federation going to put up with Tomic & Kyrgios? Don’t blame them - they’re just a reflection of a lot of youth in Australia at the moment. Self-serving, entitled, spoilt. I’d focus on the bodies that tolerate & allow behaviour.

Disgraceful. Firstly a wrong fk as Hawk fakes massively then Gunston & Mitchell standing in middle of ground talking to ump, see replay on screen and put their arms up….50m. I thought arms up lately was now acceptable?? Pick & choose. This will end in tears in a very big game

Thoughts on AFLW potential pay rise? I am staggered the men are going to give up $ for AFLW when AFLW don’t charge an entry fee to the games and TV rating are still poor.

There has been zero impact on scoring since the introduction of the stupidity “stand rule” as well as the equally nonsensical protected area play on from a behind. Time to shelve both of them. The stand rule is nothing but a “painful” irrelevance that annoys fans.

I’m still shaking my head at that ridiculous umpire intervention with the Hawkins reversal - Selwood & Melcham. Umpires are lucky I’m. It in charge because that fool would never get another game. Completely inconsequential & contact instigated by Melcham. In a final it’s a sin.

Leave school @ 18 plays AFL for 12yrs then becomes an assistant coach for 5yrs then a senior coach for 5yrs & then is inevitably sacked.....what hope has he got? He knows NOTHING outside AFL & then enters real world. Like falling off a cliff edge for most. Completely unprepared

Extraordinary?! Why is everyone so amazed about something they already know??? This is insane. What’s extraordinary is the fact former players have to do the work of gutless, compromised media. In essence media are saying “Hell I wouldn’t say that!”
Extraordinary comments from Nick Riewoldt on

Don’t know why Teague’s manager Pickering is having a crack at Cripps saying “need more out of captain”. 1 of 2 things….untenable for coach or coach can’t manage/motivate him. Problem having a player manager in media…they are compromised. Make a choice. Media or manager.

Absolute classic example of interpretation by an over officious peanut. Many times that exact incident happens and sanity prevails. He wasn’t time wasting. Why can they pick and choose whether or not to pay a free kick for the same incident. It’s either 100% a fk or make it clear

Why do umpires coach? Continually hear them saying “walk away”, “don’t do that in front of me”, “leave him alone”. It’s not their jurisdiction. Zip up & just referee game. Pay FK’s when necessary.

What about Stewart st 3/4 time “we’re going to take more risks this quarter.” They kick 3 goals in 5 minutes! Clear example of coaches strategy curtailing player abilities. When game is shot at 3/4 time coach says “take risks”! Laughable. 😂

Fine Toby Greene whatever you like $10K, $25K, $50K….whatever the severity of incident construed by authorities. Suspension of games should be reserved to king hits, elbows, punches, kicks, bites…..etc etc. Every other incident outside these should be a fine graded on severity

AFL drug policy is designed to protect AFL brand & minimise exposure of illicit drugs. If a player is caught but cites mental health issues it is not a strike against him. Save to say there is a shitload of “mental health” issues with AFL players.

“AFL’s game analysis team found trials of new set up in 3 VFL games resulted in 15% increase in scoring & 14% decrease in tackling”.

I’m also laughing at the coaching from umpire in last quarter telling player “don’t kick it!” after a fk was paid. Let player play and pay 50m if it’s there. Stop coaching players on what to do and what not to do - just adjudicate. Since when are umpires players or coaches?

Firstly if AFL are serious about sending messages & brand they should’ve rubbed Hawkins our for 2 weeks minimum. How his act can be grouped with every other 1 week suspension is ludicrous. Secondly Greene either gets off with fine wk1 & fine wk2 or suspension wk1 & fine wk2 IMO.
