Yeh, get sick of reading that anyone that's ever played Afl is a star. What's wrong with using 'Afl player' instead of 'Afl star'. Almost all of them weren't stars. Just BS.

Then there's a Facebook numpty that always bites back with

"Well how many games did you play?!? "

It means that terms like 'superstar' and 'legend' also get overused just as much. I know the tabloid media love their adjectives, but they're in danger of running out of them.

As someone who has to subscribe to DAZN for the NFL, their streaming App is utterly dogs balls.

It will be interesting to see if they merge Kayo with their current app or keep them separate subscription services.

I use DAZN for gridiron, and it’s the only app I have worse than Kayo and Binge

Everything is segmented and even though I only want to watch gridirom and it’s the only one I pay for it always sends me to boxing.

It's clearly a rip off of the Bestie Boys, or maybe you're to young for them

That montage is just one Hinkley plane impression short of perfection.

It was partly a compilation of wanky celebrations (hence a LOT of the Wanky Hawks). All for the socials.


I didn’t realise it at the time, but I now long for the time when Tredrea pretending to use a phone was seen as ridiculously over the top.

AFL stars Steven May, Tom Lynch and Dion Prestia and have been caught up in a late-night fracas at Sorrento which led to two men needing hospital treatment.
The premiership players were among a group out for Boxing Day at the Mornington Peninsula holiday hotspot which was harassed and attacked at about 2am near the Continental Hotel.
The Herald Sun has been told one aggressor took a swing outside the venue, causing the group to retreat along Point Nepean Rd.
Shortly after, Ambulance Victoria paramedics were called to Point Nepean Rd to pick up a man believed to be one of the troublemakers.
He had upper and lower-body injuries which were described as not life-threatening. Victoria Police said two men were treated at hospital but it is not known how the second patient got there.
Football sources confirmed on Monday that the AFL trio had been among a group which had been caught up in friction generated by other parties. But sources close to the three players insisted they were not responsible for the injuries to the two men.

What a bullshit story. Just by proximity they get dragged into and name dropped in an otherwise wholly common and boring event.

He and his Dad both made Geelong's team of the century.
Bob Quinn's brother, Tom, also made that team.

They'll work it out.

He either needs to cop a huge suspension from the AFL, or be high fived and congratulated if the Richmond fans/Croatians on Twitter are correct. (ie he assaulted someone who attempting to sexually assault a drunk relative).

I was thinking he could be in their leadership group
