Why would you not penalise the players? They aren't schoolkids, they're grown men intentionally flouting the law during a pandemic. Seriously if the pressure from a footy coach about maybe not getting a game in the seniors is enough to make you break the law I'm not sure how you function day in...

"Unless you agree in every way with my university educated perspective on this issue I'm an indisputable expert in then you don't deserve to have an opinion and I refuse to engage with you.... Anyway here's why this other guy's an elitist."

No one besides you is saying that.

You listed Steve Johnson as an example of a great player with a troubled time. Simpson is arguing that clubs should have the ability to spend the money that allows them to help the young man who stuffs up and speeds 80km/hr over the limit, instead of delisting him because it's too much trouble.

He's literally arguing that clubs should be allowed to provide the resources that allow them to not let the family situation of the kid dictate their future.

So what you mean is you're somehow affected by this, and you don't like it so they should change the rules to suit. The same unfairness is in place if you move the games, it's just affects a different group.

So clubs and players who organised to work or take holidays on the planned byes are punished. There's no perfect solution here, cop the bye's, it's only amateur football at the end of the day.

No, but in that analogy, the players are the customers not the employees. I see what you're getting at that there's a higher tolerance for risk to sustain an industry that employees a lot of people. But if stagnant case numbers sees a June 22 further relaxation, I don't get the pessimism, WA...

To points 2/3, whats the difference between that and going to a pub/restaurant/anywhere that details are being taken? If the government gives the go ahead to play, that's no different to the risk you'd take going out for dinner? Sent from my MAR-LX2 using Tapatalk

Problem is for every player that comes across to a club that already has a full list, you're just pushing another player out the bottom, someone misses out either way. There's no perfect solution, but preference needs to be given to existing players.

Kane Cornes on TV/Radio/Twitter is playing a character designed to make people outraged and write about him. Anyone who doesn't realise this and takes anything he says remotely seriously is a moron.

Are we awarding any prizes for the furthest off tip of the season?

Rain forecast has dropped pretty consistently in the last 24hrs. It'll be freezing, but wind/rain won't really be a factor.

Is there any info anywhere about the number of Priority 1 holders? In 2015 got 3 pairs of tickets in the ballot out of 3 in our family, seems like people think there'll be lots less available this time for priority 2.

I think we all know that's not true.

Disagree Entirely. Cripps also demonstrating an acceptable amount of arrogance, and given the size of his arms, a hint of ignorance as well.

It was minor incident that she was unlucky to get cited for, but she used up her chance via the strike system to allow players to play already. Don't get me wrong I think she probably should be playing. But ignore the fine amount, the rules around how many times you can be warned relative to...

Yes and No, gender discrimination shouldn't be at the whim of who was there first, if your position is that the punishment should be equal, why would only the female players have a case that they're being discriminated against? The constitution of a sporting league can't override that surely...

But isn't the number of chances before a suspension appropriately scaled to the AFL season? Taking it the other way, could a men's team argue after an opposition star player gets his second fine the week before meeting that had they been playing in the female league he would have been...

Because it's probably a tiny league filled with social players and people playing for the fun of it, and there's still no record from anyone involved of her being so outrageously overpowering and physically dominant that she posed any sort of danger to anyone.

So there'd be plenty of evidence from last season of her doing that I'm assuming?

She wasn't even the best player in a mid table team in the Canberra league last year. Where is this notion that she's going to be physically unstoppable coming from? Is there any evidence of it anywhere or just people projecting? Edit: Removed quoted deleted post - OTP

Coincidentally, I believe that was part of the reason Harley's older brother was very quietly removed from Collingwood part way into his year on the rookie list.

What's ironic about that statement? Are you 7 years old and think that because West Coast, like every other team in the league has players that play for free kicks that I can't hate the fact Joel Selwood is destroying his legacy every time he shrugs his shoulders when he should be remembered as...

I don't hate a lot of things, but I hate Joel Selwood the most

This doesn't really qualify as incompetent media coverage because it's not really his job, but the AFL could do a lot worse than getting Scott Van Pelt from sportscentre on a plane for the Grand Final and actually giving him an appreciation of the game. Every time they show highlights from a...

Rewatching extra time when Vardy hits up Kennedy for the goal, it comes after he and Ryder contest for a mark, then Vardy follows up and Ryder just stands there cooked. If Vardy/Petrie are good to go they won't make a change there, but if they're sore and Nic is ripe then now is as good a time...

Have you watched a single Carlton game this year? Their jerseys look like someone ran to kmart, bought the generic jumper and ironed on the numbers and sponsors. People overthink this stuff, who cares who makes it as long as it looks good, only issue with the ISC gear are how they'll make the...

I'd love to have a look at the fan art if anyone has a copy
