    Where did pick 10 go?

    Going into draft night, Hawthorn had pick 10. I didn't see it in any of the lists of pick swaps. But then Essendon took the 10th pick somehow. Does anyone here know what happened to pick 10?

    Play Nice Hannah Mouncey, transgender AFLW hopeful

    That's the whole point though, Jatz. You play sport with you body, not with your identity. So why do some people argue that trans-people have a fundamental right to play in a competition of the gender they identify with, regardless of how little they physically resemble that gender? If Mouncey...

    Play Nice Hannah Mouncey, transgender AFLW hopeful

    This was always going to be the outcome, if not now then eventually when people see the reality of the size and strength that trans-women have in comparison to cis-women. Hormone replacement was never intended to create a level playing field between cis and trans women for the purposes of...

    AFLW Lack of female coaches in AFLW

    It's a bit odd that a big club like Adelaide couldn't find a full time roll for Goddard at the club. It's also surprising that none of the 6 Victorian clubs (as of 2019) seemed to want her, since they could have presumably had her coaching their VFLW team too, which would have added up to a full...

    Play Nice First transgender player in the AFLW

    I think the main reason we're even having this conversation is the common misconception about testosterone and estrogen. While they are seen in popular culture as the very essence of gender, they are not. They are merely two of many hormones that exist in all people, whose differing...

    Play Nice First transgender player in the AFLW

    I was going on the photo that accompanied the article I had linked to, it may have made her look larger than she is. But that's exactly the point I was making with Catherine McGregor: that trans-women's huge physical advantage persists even if their weight is comparable to a cis-woman's. So, the...

    Play Nice First transgender player in the AFLW

    I suspect you're right that it is partially being driven by people who aren't interested in sport. There are some men who just like to claim that men are better than women at everything, and I could imagine that if someone tries to describe just how much of an advantage men have over women in...

    Play Nice First transgender player in the AFLW

    I've found the public discussion of this issue to be quite interesting, not least because of how little of it there is. It seems that most people just don't want to discuss it. I do wonder, however, what Hannah Mouncey's supporters are hoping to achieve, or why so many refuse to even recognise...

    AFLW Alternative home grounds for the Brisbane Lions?

    Is there any reason why the Exhibition Ground couldn't be made suitable for AFLW? http://www.austadiums.com/stadiums/stadiums.php?id=20

    AFLW Alternative home grounds for the Brisbane Lions?

    I don't know much about what suburban grounds exist in Brisbane, but I understand that the South Pine Sports Complex is small, has no seats and little cover, is a long way from central Brisbane and has no train station and inadequate parking. In other words, it's not ideal. Are there any more...

    AFL Women's Grand Final should be held in the top teams State and not as an AFL mens opener.

    I think it should be held wherever it would draw the biggest crowd, which is what the men's Grand Final has always in effect done. This year, that probably would be the Adelaide Oval, is the Crows are playing.

    Should the Renegades move to the MCG?

    It seems that the most common reason people give for supporting the Stars is that they play at the MCG. We see a similar thing in the AFL, where the MCG teams have been able to grow their crowds and membership numbers faster than the Docklands teams. Are the Renegades holding themselves back by...

    Mod. Notice 2015 GF Ticketing; please don't post telephone numbers - use the PM system

    A few people have posted about upgrading a concession ticket to an adult ticket at the ground. Is this really possible? And if so, where do we do it?

    Mod. Notice 2015 GF Ticketing; please don't post telephone numbers - use the PM system

    Ah OK. Well I got a ticket for my mother in standing room M22, which I'd like to upgrade to a seat if I can, because she has a bad knee. So message me if you're interested, and I'll pay you the price difference.

    Mod. Notice 2015 GF Ticketing; please don't post telephone numbers - use the PM system

    I noticed that a lot of people are being allocated standing room in M20 to M22. But it looks like this is within the AFL Members area, so how is this possible?

    MCG ODI tickets question

    Thanks, Irish. That's a real shame. I assume then that there's always a ticket guy around making sure you don't sit in the wrong seat?

    MCG ODI tickets question

    I haven't bought a general admission ticket for a cricket match at the MCG in a long time, so I was wondering whether it was still possible to sit wherever you want with a general admission ticket (excluding, of course, the premium seats), or whether all tickets are now allocated a seat in which...

    Grand Final tickets question

    If you buy a Grand Final ticket as a competing club member, do you need to bring your membership card on game day, or is the ticket enough by itself?

    2012 Membership Tally

    GWS are saying "12,178 members" on their website (http://www.gwsgiants.com.au/), and yet their memberships don't appear to be on sale yet. If that 12178 is just an aspirational target, it's strange that they didn't pick a round number.

    Re-Branding the Bulldogs .. West Melbourne or Footscray not Western

    That's exactly my point. All other clubs can be referred to by just their first name. It's a pity that your club cannot. Changing the name to either Western Suburbs or Western Melbourne would fix that.

    Fremantle, on the other hand, has yet to be explained.

    Re-Branding the Bulldogs .. West Melbourne or Footscray not Western

    By floating adjective, I meant the adjective 'western' without a noun following it. It certainly sounds odd to call the club just 'Western'.

    Re-Branding the Bulldogs .. West Melbourne or Footscray not Western

    West Melbourne is a suburb adjacent to the CBD. You wouldn't want to call yourselves after another suburb. Western Melbourne would be a decent name. Especially if the whole name could still be shortened to "Western Bulldogs" when necessary. The problem with the current name is that you...

    Is this Football's ultimate fairytail story?

    You're actually only 4 behind Williamstown really, since 2 of theirs were 2nd division premierships.
