Broad deserved a minor whack and a bit of public shame for a poor act.

But cringing at the people in the industry coming out of their glass houses to throw stones. I would have felt that Luke Hodge driving a vehicle well over the legal limit is a comparatively far more arrogant and inconsiderate act yet he's one of the first to come out and stand on the moral high ground.

"INJURED Crows midfielder Cam Ellis-Yolmen is to fall off the Adelaide Football Club senior list in the list refit at West Lakes before the AFL national draft this month.

Ellis-Yolmen, 24, has been told he will be delisted by the Tuesday deadline for the 18 AFL clubs to submit their player lists in the lead-up to the November 24 national draft.

The Advertiser understands the Crows have committed to reconsidering the strong-bodied midfielder for its rookie list if there is no space on the senior list after the draft."


I've never heard Cam "The Next Adam Goodes" Ellis-Yolmen, a midfeilder, touted as a replacement for Lever, a defender. o_O
“Committed to reconsidering”. Is that code for not committed to anything.

Richmond were just glad it’s a fringe player. The mental gymnastics that would have been required to avoid a suspension if it was one of their top 3 players would have been amusing. We all know if a star at any club does it, even after this, it’ll be downplayed.

A minor whack? o_O

"The woman decided not to proceed with charges against Broad to "protect her identity and avoid any further attention and distress", her lawyers said."

Without trying to start a flame war I feel bad for you guys sharing the same state as Crows fans. Talk about koolaid drinkers with no ability to think rationally...
Normally it's pretty painful, but just the last few weeks it's been quite fun :)

Apparently the Bulldogs are upset about losing the Good Friday game.

They are a very self-entitled bunch and Peter Gordon is a loud-mouthed campaigner.
They win their first flag in 62 years, piggy back off North Melbourne's work to be the away team in the first ever Good Friday clash, and then demand a Royal Commission when they aren't scheduled to play the game again the next year. Lol.

F**k them!

It's literally no wonder at all that they went 62 years without a flag (and with only one for that whole time).

Carlton delist 3 more - Blaine Boekhorst, Billie Smedts and Simon White. 13 in total - 55 players in 4 years.
Geez I didn't think Boekhorst was anywhere delisting potential. Played some good footy towards the end of the year, massive overreaction to the criticism for taking him so high.

Pacy wingman who finds his way onto the scoreboard I would definitely consider as a cheap DFA.
