    Toast Red shorts!

    Looks like we finally got them with the red jumper this week. Hopefully a permanent thing with the clash jumper - no need for us to wear white and look like Sydney

    Roast The AFL… incredibly irresponsible and selfish

    Pretty shocked with this tbh. The federal government has made a plea to people to not use extra fuel where possible. Of course there’s a lot of driving that’s pre-arranged or essential that people can’t avoid, but there are other things everybody can do to try to lower their use of fuel to try...

    Rules Why does every. single. contest. have to result in a free kick!?

    It seems to have gone to yet another level this year. It’s infuriating. I’m not trying to whinge after my team lost last night - we received plenty of frees that fell into this bucket and obviously the umpiring had zero impact on the result. Thursday night was the same. It feels like every...

    High profile Australian barrister takes own life after child abuse material charges

    This is really ugly stuff... Ran a charity in Cambodia for children in poverty. https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/truecrimeaustralia/police-courts-nsw/how-a-top-barristers-life-ended-after-child-abuse-material-charges/news-story/78d9c9ad1eb24375c4309b299f45135c Dennis was arrested at Sydney...

    It is time to talk about the state of Test batting

    There’s always talk about pitches and good bowling etc… that is fair… but seriously… feels like there’s a lot of very average batting techniques out there. It’s both teams - obviously there’s exceptions… but it feels like there’s very few players who put an actual price on their wicket.

    Teammates coming to blows on field

    Happened with a couple of Everton players the other night, with one red carded for violent conduct. Certainly not the first time in the Premier League, there were a couple of famous examples in the 1990s. I can’t recall this ever happening in our game? Maybe a few cross words but that’s just...

    15.4%: Why North should receive expansion-style concessions

    During the draft I've been thinking about concessions / priority picks. Like (I suspect) most people, I'm pretty much against them, and find the fact the West Coast have been handed them absolutely absurd. What is more absurd, however, is the lack of concessions given to North. They have zero...

    What is the future of war remembrance in Australia?

    I found myself thinking about this today, on Remembrance Day (which has a far lower profile than ANZAC Day, due to the public holiday). Where do we think it goes in the next 20, 30, 50 years? While other wars have been fought, the focus of these days always was / is the two world wars, and...

    Speculation from Cal Twomey today that Tasmania will make Daicos their #1 target ahead of their debut season in 2028. Likely offer: $3m upfront sign-on bonus 8 year contract at $2m per year Further club marketing payments Captaincy Third party deals with club sponsors Total earnings over...

    Analysis Brisbane become the best-performed club in VFL/AFL history: Comprehensive Premiership Rankings

    Saturday's win by Brisbane was, historically, a monumental premiership. In a comprehensive sense, it saw Brisbane overtake Hawthorn as the most successful club in VFL/AFL history. Weighted Premiership Score (WPS) As is often argued... all premierships in VFL/AFL history aren't equal. Winning...

    2026 player moves - ins and outs, signings and departures

    Might as well get this started as I just spotted one from CNMLOC. Sounds like a great signing if he's fit and healthy, Google says he's only 28yo and a former WAFL player. Also played VAFA Premier at Old Brighton. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16D7oPvU3y/ If in shape and keen you'd assume...

    If Harley Reid is worth up to $2m per year... what are these guys worth?

    Let's be honest, Reid is still living largely off hype from junior footy. His one complete season saw him finish ninth in the B&F at West Coast, one of the worst teams in living memory. Yet apparently he's about to sign a deal that will guarantee him over $20 million. It's jaw-dropping money...

    Roast AFL pisses “eight figures” up against the wall

    What the hell? Is this the dumbest and most expensive blunder in football history? The damage was actually done around 20 years ago when the AFL GAVE Waverley to Hawthorn for $1. Now that Hawthorn are done with it, the AFL decides they do want it after all and buy it back at market rates...

    Scandal Carlton and the mafia

    I move that all premierships be stripped and Carlton FC shut down forever. The club is a blight on our community and enabling organised crime. Who’s with me?

    What the heck? AFL umpire working for betting agency

    I mean seriously, what the hell? Yes I know it’s racing not footy that he’s doing… but in politics, sport, etc… are corruption and conflicts now just so blatant now that this thing could be allowed? What happened to “avoid conflicts and the appearance of conflicts” in ethics class? Amazing

    AFL seeking major increase in gambling revenue

    The AFL would significantly increase the amount of money it takes from wagering on the sport under a proposal that it has put to the country’s big bookmakers. The AFL makes up to $40 million in product fees from bookmakers every year, a figure that is eclipsed by other sports such as NRL, which...

    Lost footage of 1990 GF brawl re-emerges

    Pretty cool stuff here. Historian Rhett Bartlett is digitising a bunch of old footy VHS tapes he was given by Rohan Connolly. There’s all types of random stuff from up to 40 years ago. His latest is a short video from the 7 News bulletin after the 1990 GF. It’s one of the most infamous...

    Australian politicians: staggeringly out of touch

    Both major parties have an issue with this. Their representatives just seem to have less and less in common with those they purport to represent. Housing is a key topic in point. Some say the PM buying a $4m beachfront house in the middle of a housing crisis shouldn’t affect him electorally...

    Society & Culture The travels and travails of Steph Rice

    I’m late to this but well worth an Insta follow. Wowee what a rollercoaster. She was head over heels in love with some bloke a little while back… then gave him the arse a few months later. From what I can gather she’s then moved to Dubai and found God, falling in with one of those weird...

    List Mgmt. The unchecked power of player managers

    Saw this one raised multiple times yesterday, the strong inference being that player management groups are driving trade and list management outcomes under the thinly-veiled threat of future trouble if the club doesn't comply. Ie - "Do this trade and get our player where he wants to go, or you...

    Quite strange to sack him now and not two years ago when he clearly lost the players. I assume money is the reason.

    AFL to zone entire Northern Territory to North Melbourne

    https://amp.nine.com.au/article/cd8857e4-38f0-4812-923c-163c27495700 Interesting. Seems like a straight swap for Tassie? Apparently Geelong, Essendon, Hawthorn, Collingwood and Melbourne currently have pathways in the NT, and would be booted out. I’ll be honest, personally I have no idea what...

    The next Melbourne stadium

    Saw this video Docklands is 25yo this year and really, about halfway through an expected 50-year lifespan. The stadium received a mid-life update this year but is really starting to to show its age. Probably the major issue with it is the roof - it is never opened for events because it was...
