Sydney's loss to Melbourne, combined with other results this weekend, officially means Adelaide would've played finals (and Sydney would not have) if the Swans-Crows result had flipped...

I’m so sick of seeing this stuff on every single AFLW post we make

A nice photo of all the first round draftees, and the most liked comment by far is a lazy, sexist joke, getting a bunch of likes from young guys, some of them not hiding behind private accounts.
2021 Mid-season Draft
Pick 1: Jacob Edwards, North Melbourne (delisted today)
Pick 2: Jai Newcombe, Hawthorn (polled 18 Brownlow votes on Monday)
Not ideal.

The AFL needs to change the rules for draws.
The captains immediately go into the middle and play split or steal.
Both split: 2 points each
One steals, one splits: 4 points to the thief
Both steal: Play another full game immediately
BREAKING NEWS🚨
Jeremy Finlayson has responded to his 3 week suspension due to a homophobic slur by stating “the 3 week suspension has pissed him off”.
This was said on a segment called “offensive”.

Genuinely think there is a conversation to be had about banning player-specific bets. The way athletes get treated for something so utterly meaningless is so unhealthy.
St Kilda's best AFLW player Georgia Patrikios in a statement has confirmed her vaccination status - and, for now, remains on the club's active list.
Story 📝:
With Craig McRae set to win the Collingwood job, half of all AFL coaches will have either coached or played under Alastair Clarkson.
D.Hardwick, L.Cameron, A.Simpson, L.Beveridge, C.Fagan, B.Ratten, S.Mitchell, C.McRae as coaches, S.Dew as a player.
Reasonable tree.

You don’t get vaccinated just to protect yourself.
You get it so EVERYONE is less likely to get sick. You get it so anyone vaccinated who still has extra risk (like me) is less likely to get it. You get it because it’s so simple to do and incredibly safe.

The fact that he bet on the specific margin and in markets he could personally manipulate... I'm staggered it's ONLY a ten week ban.
The amount of money involved is irrelevant.
Stephenson placed three bets.
Against Bulldogs in Rd 4, Essendon in Rd 6, St Kilda in Rd 9. Included legs on Collingwood to win, winning margin, Stephenson to goal, teammates to goal, teammates to have certain disposal counts. Total $36, all lost.
LIVE:
Gold Coast at home this year...
- 30pt win over Carlton
- 13pt loss to Melbourne, should've won by 2 on expected score
- 52pt loss to Brisbane, should've lost by 16 on expected score
- up by 19 on Freo at halftime
All against top 4 teams. Are they legit good at home?

One of the greatest pro wrestlers ever has generously donated his ring-worn T-shirt from

Since the AFL went to 16 teams in 1995, only once has the team on top of the ladder after Round 1 missed the finals (Brisbane, 2007).

West Coast has earned the second wooden spoon in club history, following 2010.
Wooden spoons, AFL era
5 - CAR
3 - MEL, SYD
2 - BB, BL, FITZ, GC, GWS, NM, RIC, STK, WC
1 - ADE, COL, ESS, FRE, WB
0 - HAW, GEE, PA
VFL/AFL record is St Kilda's 27.

No wonder you get stuff like that story of the private school boys chanting vile, sexist crap on a tram the other day. This problem isn't anywhere near being solved and it leads to worse attitudes towards women and it's such crap.

The Suns’ home-away split is utterly ridiculous.
7-0 at home, average win by 40 pts
0-6 elsewhere, average loss by 32 pts
They are 12 GOALS WORSE on the road.

is 0-3.
Joins 2023 Geelong as only reigning premiers to be 0-3 in the AFL era.
Last team to be 0-3 and
Make top 4 - North Melb 2007
Make GF - North Melb 1976
Win flag - North Melb 1975
~10% of 0-3 teams since 2000 have played finals.

#AFLSaintsPies
Brisbane matches two bids in the top 12 + trades for Josh Dunkley & Jack Gunston in the same trade period, because the points system is perfect and has no flaws
To play finals from here, Collingwood needs Port Adelaide to beat Fremantle AND either...
- St Kilda to beat Carlton by 151+ points, OR
- North Melbourne to beat Hawthorn by 157+ points
Neither team has ever won a V/AFL match by that much.
@FOXFOOTY
Such a shame that Steve Price keeps getting silenced. Anyway time to complain about a semi-pro, 5-year-old sports league that’s full of athletes who either barely got to play organised footy growing up, or are actual high schoolers, for no reason. In the paper.
It is genuinely absurd and so, so stupid that the AFL has let the Tribunal get to the point that it's running past midnight. Didn't I hear something pre-season about how it was supposed to be less like a court case this year? It's so bogged down in legal nonsense. Ridiculous.
Sydney becomes the first team to score 100 points before three-quarter-time against Richmond since St Kilda in Round 16, 2017 - 83 games ago.

#AFLTigersSwans
Tex Walker has 17 goals after three rounds; his previous career-best was 11 after three.
Oh, and at his current pace, if he plays every week he'll hit the ton in Round 19 against the Bulldogs, and finish with 123... just saying.
