No, I do not think that.
Both.
I think Finlayson was, on balance, lucky to escape with a three week suspension. I believe he was complaining about receiving a suspension, and I don't think he should be complaining that he was mistreated. I think doing so undermines the sincerity of his...
I haven't heard the audio (don't reckon I'm the target audience for Kellie Finlayson's podcasts), but I also find the context you're describing more difficult to imagine given that the episode in question has been pulled and the club has been moved to help Finlayson lie about creatively...
Look! He hasn't spoken about the incident other than those times he spoke about the incident! That's basically the same as not saying anything at all! Yay Jeremy!
I reckon he had every opportunity to provide that context on the podcast. Or they could have taken that segment out. Or re-recorded...
There is nuance.
The AFLPA can (and should) complain that Clarkson's punishment was too light, not that Finlayson's punishment was too severe.
Finlayson should have known better than to say anything more about the incident (and the club should have made that inescapably clear, instead of...
I would rightly get into trouble if, in anger, I called a work colleague a "stupid f***ing c**t".
The AFL has recently taken a stronger stance against abusive language directed by players to umpires. If they one day decide that abusive language directed by players to opponents no longer...
"You've come to a working-class club. Um, we have to fight and scrap for everything we have, which we love."
Hearing Cassisi, shambling idiot that he is, regurgitate "widdle battler cwub" talking points makes me sick.
They'll say intentional is only for cases where the player clearly intended to commit a reportable offence.
If Webster had clobbered Simpkin with a haymaker then it would be intentional because the rules prohibit striking in all instances.
The rules say you can't bump high, but they don't say...
Yeah, Koch's take is upsetting, but (unfortunately), it may not be unreasonable.
We had 64,041 AFL audited members in 2023.
Let's suppose that only one third of those members are eligible to vote. That's probably a significant underestimate, but it'll still be instructive. That's 21,347...
