Not sure how I would feel if I'm a coach. I mean, the AFL is so trigger happy with fines, yet they want to mandate this interview when they're at their most emotional point and you already know the AFL would be all over them like a rash if they slip up.

Agree.
The AFL love drama.
Then when they get it, they can punish coaches for comments they wanted in the first place.

It nicely fills the media attention for a few days. First the media outrage, then the media responding to the outrage, then the push back on that, and so on.
They'd get so much more honesty and interesting commentary from players and coaches if they didn't crack down so hard
Good on the Lions and HA for getting behind such a worthy cause that really is a scourge on society throughout Australia; it’s been sickening the number of fatal deaths and other incidents occurring against women and children in recent years.
Aside from Fox's footy show changes in 25, this one of the first of no doubt many announcements of all the new various footy programs that will hit our screens next year.
Looks like some have tried to write a club song for the Tasmania Devils:

I quite like that 2nd one. That would go well perhaps not as a club song, more as something they could play during the warm up. While the team is being named one by one on the big screen.

Are they actually still able to recruit him?
Like how Prior has just ended up at Essendon or something similar?

Apparently he needed to register for the draft which he didn’t so his days are done.
Pretty impressive to be fair, no doubt funded by their pokies and I’d have thought those new facilities would be the best of any clubs outside of the AFL and way better than a lot of NRL teams

Great to use those profits to improve their facilities. The Sun's AFLW team would be better playing some games here for atmosphere.
Eight hundred seats per supporter is overdoing it a bit.

See you on the 9th green at 9
Do they have a giant social club?

Southport got a big cash donation of $2.2 million from Vice President Wally Fankhauser in 1989 when they moved to the now named Fankhauser Reserve. Total costs for the project were $2.7 million
They have never looked back since then.
Not many clubs in Queensland would have a 120-room hotel on site. It opened in 2018.

I will put this here even though it is Rugby 7s.
Leigh Matthews hit that goalpost a long time ago but not really injured.
This guy scores a try and what followed is so unlucky and could have been much worse.
Below article shows the temporary 7 staples in his head

Three Lions in the top 20 of a fans survey.
Most probably watched the final series and said "who are these guys, they are pretty good players".

Some interesting names on that list, given who much some of those players are talked up in the media.
Guthrie, Holmes and Liberatore all get talked up a lot. Few others there get their fair share of media attention as well.

Probably an indication of who fans of certain teams feel are underrated more than an actual representative sample.
By this list there is no underrated Fremantle, GCS or GWS player so may indicate which teams fans were more involved.

Putting team bias aside… Who is the best midfielder in the AFL? The fan survey results are in!
The league’s prime mover.

Our Lachie is the best when it comes to quick hands and cleanliness at ground level, has also improved his field kicking this season... a few running bounces in the GF showed he is super professional and still working on his craft.
I think he will be one of those guys who can still play great footy into their mid 30s.
