I am not saying I want a full ban on high marking, all I am saying is that if the AFL is as serious as they claim to be in relation to CTE and concussions then it is likely that they are going to have to address the speccy at some point.
There is no other non-combat sport in the world where you...
Rugby Union is a contact sport, however they take any head contact very seriously and you can get a red card for tackles with a high degree of danger which directly impact an opponent's head.
If the AFL is serious about protecting the head, and itself from more potential future CTE lawsuits...
Any particular reason why we can't have a red card for these types of events as they're so infrequent? Would be silly that it could potentially happen in a Grand Final without any immediate punishment.
Other contact sports like NFL, ice hockey, rugby league, rugby union and soccer/football have...
Personally I am 100% in support of a red card and have always said it should be in place for deliberate violent acts.
It might be an extreme example but I can't think of any other sport in the world where you could hypothetically knock out a key opponent in the grand final (a pre-meditated late...
Later Quaynor says: “She’s a nine and a half, but is homeless.”
To which Ginnivan replies: “Two and a half.”
The issue isn't so much objectification of women, I know they're joking but the above doesn't really reflect well on Collingwood as a brand which is working hard to combat homelessness...
Agree with this, something else that I reckon is contributing is that each match goes for roughly 3 hours when you factor in all of the breaks and time after each goal.
That is a very long time, especially in this day and age where there are so many easily-accessible alternatives at your...
Both of Malceski's goals in the 2012 grand final. I'll never understand the physics of the first goal in particular because most left-footed players would go for the banana from that angle.
They both seemed to hang in the air forever too
I've noticed after speaking to some customers consultants on the phone (telcos, insurance companies), at the end of the call I am asked if i'd like to rate the service from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest rating.
How would you key in a rating of 10? Wouldn't they take...
I love how his GoFundMe asks for the following support:
- because I believe in the right of employees to peacefully express their religious beliefs without fear of termination or punishment
Posting a big warning message on Instagram telling homosexuals that hell awaits them counts as...
It's not about rugby, it's about his position of being of Rugby Australia's most influential employees and one of Australia's biggest sporting stars promoting the idea that not all people are equal, I.e. homosexuality is a sin and homosexual should all repent so they don't burn in hell.
Which...
Which is partially due to organisations such as Rugby Australia promoting total gender and sexuality inclusiveness and equality and having an anti-discriminatory culture.
Basically what Israel Folau is trying to tear down through his discrimination towards homosexuals who he feels the need to...
Rugby Union, Rugby League, American Football and Ice Hockey are contact sports and all have some type of red card or ejection.
Why is Australian rules football so special?
As stupid a scenario as it is (and yes I know that no-one would actually try this in real life because it wouldn't work) I think the important question to answer is whether a player could throw the ball over the head of an opponent (or even his own team-mate), then run around him and kick the...
I was at Chadstone Shopping Centre a few weekends ago and walked past Gary Ablett Jr and his wife. I turned around to look again and double-check at the very same time that a woman next to me also glanced back to look at him. She asked me “was that Gary Ablett?” and I said “yeah pretty sure it...
They interviewed the club president on Sunrise this morning and he basically brushed off the whole incident, seemed to indicate it's part of the game and the whole thing was being blown out of proportion. Also spoke about the phenomenal positive influence that Barry has had at the club etc...
So tonight is the top of the ladder clash with Adelaide taking on Geelong.
This got me thinking, does anyone know the highest number of 1st vs 2nd (top of the ladder) games there have been in a single season?
