Times change. The story of Rod Marsh betting us against us at Headingley in 1981 is one that is generally relayed fairly affectionately and with mirth.

If that happened today though- he'd have been sacked, I suspect.
 
Don't bet on games if you're a player!

It's the delicious irony isn't it?

Fancy AFL sanctioned betting on practice matches in which winning is probably the 9 or 10th priority for the participating team.

Fancy AFL sanctioned betting on practice matches involving a team that until this week has been semi-pro.

You mean the AFL can be hypocritical and try to have its cake and eat it simultaneously?

Colour me shocked, Bruno.

But they wouldn't advertise it would they? Surely not....

Daniel Nielson has done an ACL

Norf fans were cumjizzing over this guy too.

I think we were pretty happy with what he showed as a lock down defender, skills could use a bit of polish though. I was never expecting Durdin or Nielson to play this year, ACL is bad luck for him but he will still be able to do a lof of the upper body and core strength development during his rehabilitation which he probably wouldn't have been able to do while he was playing in the VFL so I guess there is that.
 
Premiership stars Shaun Burgoyne and Mathew Stokes have been named as members of the first AFL Indigenous Talent Advisory Committee, which will focus on growing the cultural awareness around Indigenous draft prospects.

The Hawthorn midfielder and Geelong forward are among 12 people on the committee, formed from a cross-section of the football industry and announced to AFL clubs this week.

Former Sydney Swans great Michael O'Loughlin, ex-Melbourne speedster Aaron Davey, and the AFL's head of diversity Jason Mifsud are in the group, along with club personnel Jason McCartney (Western Bulldogs list manager) and Craig Vozzo (West Coast football manager).

AFL national talent manager Kevin Sheehan, Academies development manager Michael Ablett, NAB AFL Academy head coach Brenton Sanderson and special projects manager Tristan Salter are also on the committee, alongside AFL Victoria's Indigenous programs manager Aaron Clark.

The formation of the committee comes after a recommendation during last year's talent review, with the widely experienced group to commence in April.

They will focus on Indigenous engagement, preparation and player retention.

The committee will closely analyse the structures, programs and rules supporting Indigenous talent, including cultural awareness, mentoring and tailored individual development plans.

Retaining Indigenous talent was a talking point at last year's talent review involving clubs, the AFL and state bodies. In a study of club figures, 70 per cent surveyed thought the AFL should work more intensely at an earlier age with those from diverse backgrounds.

So, has Matt Rendell received his formal apology yet? Perhaps Mifsud could pop it on the agenda for the first meeting.
 
There's a topic on the Dee's board discussing how shit Viney is.

I haven't watched him play too closely, is he really that limited?

Not really, he's just their scapegoat from last night.

I did consider that it might have just been a reaction to last night.

Even if he ends up as a foot soldier rather than a gun they didn't pay through the nose to get him.

I'm with Phone on this one. My hatred for Port left when the shitstains of human beings C. Cornes and D. Brogan left the club.
