AFL’s concussion expert was a doctor facing nine counts of plagiarism and worked with the AFL whilst under a ban from practicing.

Looking forward to 13 social media posts in a 24 hour period about it, Robbo and Gerard in tears over the AFL’s failure to protect players, every channel dragging the league. Someone let me know when it starts.

I'm sure his 'scripts got the boys at AFL house what they needed.

Ironic that the player out from concussion was Ben McKay who copped a kne to the back of the head from a team mate trying to take a specky. Then all of this fuss about Rioli ttying to take a chest mark. This is a difficult situation to police and say honestly that the head is sacrosanct in the competition. Certainly a problem best left to smarter and better qualified people than Robbo and bloody Whately……and throw in that goose Barrett too

I'm convinced that Foxfooty has gone so hard here so that we memory-hole the Tom Morris debacle.

Next week, Fox introduces their new reporter: Mot Sirrom

If Duursma was playing ~15-20 years earlier he would have protected himself there expecting the bump, now he attacks full-on with head down assuming the other player will clumsily pull-up and he'll just run into them and "earn" a free kick.

Robinson needs to have an option other than bracing for contact, that doesn't result in a free kick against.

It’s like some of the old time cricketers saying modern players are getting hit in the head more because helmets make them complacent.

Papalia did ours on the weekend - it was only Brad Johnson not there, right?

Papalia and Pav on the boundary. Don't they normally have two callers and two special comments or is that 7?

At least 12 Eagles AFL players ruled out over COVID-19 vaccines

At least 12 West Coast Eagles players have been ruled out of this weekend's AFL game due to lagging third COVID-19 vaccine doses.

Seems like bs to me, or sloppy editing

So... Nothing at all to do with vaccines then? Idiots. Not a single mention in the video.

Interesting to hear(well it wasn’t really) that sour old windbag Wilson apologise for her comments last week about the Eagles not taking covid seriously because she admitted she listened to someone she shouldn’t have and admitting she should have called BIg Trev before sprouting her garbage.. SImpson called it out on radio last night.
However she couldn’t resist bringing up the bloody jumper issue again.

Such an unprofessional windbag. How does she continue to get airtime?

 

[Truckosaurus]

If there's anything that can be gleaned from the continued career of Tom Browne, it's that getting a gig in the footy media (non-ex-player division) is all about who you know.

 

[Truckosaurus]

The only other way in is to be a dirtbag weasel of the highest order (see Hutchinson, Barrett, etc.)

Or in the case of Tom Morris, both!

the sad thing is that she's not alone. almost the entire footy media industry are unprofessional windbags

 

[Feeling Groovy]

The problem for me with Wilson is 90% of what she talks about is off-field stuff and almost nothing on actual footy. She is a muck raker (although she often does shine a light on some issues covered up by clubs and AFL) but it is all negative griping about something. Fair enough when there is a real issue but even when there isn't, she manufactures some non-issue.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

She owes her career to the boys club that she continually gripes about. If it wasn’t for her family connections from her father she’d have no sources at all.

Fox footy eh. Really love sticking the boots into us. Must be some jaded campaigner

The actual Fox commentators were pretty clearly of the view that Rioli did nothing wrong and had nothing to worry about.

You don’t get any clicks with that, though.

What a f**king joke lmao.

Yep. Jon Ralph was quite adamant, surprisingly, that Willie should have nothing to answer to.

Ah the old reverse psychology idea.

 

[Truckosaurus]

Fox Footy on the ball, realising that Thomas was actually injured as a direct result of Willie's positioning on the field forcing him to get kicked in the guts while attempting a smother.
