Have none of you ever watched front bar? They'll ask him what he'd cook them for dinner and what his favourite colour is.

Literally the only time I watched the Front Bar was when Simmo was on a couple weeks ago and tbh I thought they were kinda acting like dicks to him. And everything Simmo said on there he said on Will Schofield's podcast so I didn't need to end up watching any way.

This is a sick photo

The angle is great but the exposure/filter is terrible. Makes it look like AI.

It's definitely had alot of post work gone into it.

Agree fantastic composition, horrible post production

It's exactly what it is.

Caro on FC reporting that the afl will take the possibility of giving both west coast and freo an additional home game to the Commission.

Looking at 2 teams possibly selling a home game to the WA teams.

I'd take a stab, if this were to go through those teams would be the dogs, saints, norf or melbourne

Well if and when the Tassie team does come in, North would definitely be looking for some cash from somewhere else.

add the hawks to that list

It would be a nice way to make up for the bullshit of making us fly to Tasmania every year because they can't pull a crowd without Melbourne opposition supporters making up the numbers.

about his life. He said in the 2020 COVID hub year he was on $70,000 which was then halved to $35,000 when everyone got their salaries halved he couldn't even get job keeper...how the hell is it possible for a veteran player only be on $70,000? I thought base salary was like $200,000? Must've been a heavily front loaded deal or something..

Yeah he mentioned this on the Eagles BF pod and I was shocked to hear that.

Also of course Schoey so full of it he’d get himself on his own podcast to be interviewed

It can't have been front loaded as he signed a one year extension at the end of 2019 and retired/was delisted at the end of 2020. I'd say it was either you can retire or stay on the list as depth for 70k. He signed the contract its not like the Eagles forced him.

The last time the Swans and the Lions played in a footy grand final was in 1899. This weekend, they face off again

Ninety years ago, James Vane Lindesay was heading to watch South Melbourne play on the banks of Melbourne's Albert Park Lake. This Saturday, he and his sister will be praying for a premiership.

Victoria, f*ck yeah.

To be fair he signed the deal before he knew COVID would hit the season like it did and they would be hubbing.

Poor form from the AFL not to let them get Job Keeper due to the optics of the situation. $35k to play when you are an elite level athlete (diet, recovery costs etc), as Schofield said he was paying to play that year.
