Businesses will tend to embrace forms of progressivism that don't threaten their bottom line, because doing so effectively defuses the left as a threat to the real goals of maximising profit by e.g. lobbying for favourable taxation structures and loopholes, undermining worker conditions...

I'm surprised that Caro didn't put her own exposé of Tredrea's treasonous "good call" on the list.

It occurs to me that the identities of the other players in Joel Smith's group chat could possibly be deduced from SIA test statistics. Even lacking corroborating evidence, being mentioned in such a chat would certainly justify elevated rates of surveillance. USADA publishes test history on a...

At the end of Tredrea's spiritual journey, the clouds part and Hinkley coalesces into view. Bathed in soft light and accompanied by a halo, Ken benevolently extends his hand: "Warren, mate, I am the shepherd of this flock and even the most wayward sheep are welcome in my bosom, for Koch's house...

Could be I'm just projecting, but I think it's telling how muted the responses are here and elsewhere. Despite some superficial pre-game optimism, it feels like we could all see this coming, recognised it immediately as it was beginning to unfold, and knew how it was going to end. Even Ken was...

I love Boak and he's been a solid contributor this year, including tonight, but those horrible turnovers and failure to convert opportunities are consistent features of his game that again reared their ugly head tonight, and again raise the question of whether it's time for him and the club to...

LOL at FiveAA. Caller: Why didn't they play Zerk-Thatcher? Campo: He did play. Caller: They really should've played him. Timmy G: Zerk-Thatcher? He was out there Caller: No I don't think he was. Campo and Timmy G: ... I'm still not sure if that was intentional performance art or what.

Aliir.

PAFC vs. the Hawks and the Umps and the AFL and ex-Hawk media. Game on.

That these suddenly sanctimonious ex-Hawk media flogs have me wanting to defend Hinkley is an unexpected and unwelcome development.

According to C. Cornes at least, Dixon stays in: Bit rough on Dix to share a farewell game with Hinkley, but there you go.

Hinkley's second to last match as coach of Port Adelaide, savour every moment.

It seems that things were going ok until I belatedly woke up from my post-work nap partway through the second quarter. So, sorry about that.

Two hours of Kane on the Howie Games podcast. He addresses the fireman stuff and says he regrets walking out on Port mid-year.

That's my point: the AFL is implicated in the immediate management of Petracca's injury, the AFL sits at the centre of the spider's web of footy journalism and the industry with lines of influence running everywhere, and the AFL will seek to protect itself. Be mindful of the 1000lb gorilla...

The AFL backed Melbourne's management of Petracca's injury to the hilt. If he sees things differently then he has an issue with the AFL as well. I wonder what Trac's views are on former club Dr. Zeeshan Arain and both his recent allegations of widespread drug use at the club and also earlier...

That Petracca wants to focus on his personal brand profile obviously didn't come from him or his manager. Even if there's a great deal of truth to it, there are ways to talk about these things and yet it's been put out there in such a way that some posters are now describing him as a "complete...

I had to laugh when Kane suggested resting Butters this weekend not to safeguard against injury, but rather so he can't get himself suspended.

A soulless franchise would permit star players to undermine team cohesion and standards because they're addicted to the sugar rush of short-term success, afraid of losing the player in question and of the response from a fan base that doesn't and probably shouldn't know the whole story...

Narkle out for McEntee. There are no words.

Can't blame Whateley and King for having the same doubts about Port Adelaide's ability to stand up on the big stage that most posters here share. As they point out, we'll almost certainly be going without one of our best, most mature and consistent performers. The teams that will finish #5-8 are...

I didn't believe it until there were fewer than 90 seconds left on the clock. Ratugolea did some nice things up forward. Good to know that option is available if required. Dixon, I'm sorry but...

Composure from L. Evans.

Ratu... rea

The AFL's strategy of foisting all responsibility for dealing with concussion/HIA issues off on the clubs with the excuse that club doctors know their players best works well enough when it's just Port Adelaide in the gun, but with half the clubs in the competition now having question marks over...

Dan Houston denied the rumours on FiveAA this morning:

Wil Powell was suspended for five weeks for a similar offence back in May. So six weeks for Collard is the bare minimum that is consistent with the AFL's announced policy of escalating penalties going forward. Yet Collard's scenario would seem to call for something beyond that bare minimum...

Given the apparently egregious nature of the offence, it's clear that the AFL has either called off their previously announced policy of escalating penalties for homophobic abusive language, or alternatively that Collard is receiving a significant discount owing to either his age and...

If there are question marks over Marshall (hamstring/hip) and Butters (ankle), there is no better opportunity to rest them than this weekend against Richmond at their lowest ebb on the bottom of the ladder.
