Last night I lost my best mate after an 18 month battle with Leukaemia. He was the most incredible, loving, loyal, thoughtful & courageous soul with a rare ability to touch the lives of every person he met. He may be gone, but his legacy will never be forgotten. I love you Dad 🤍

Thats the biggest umpire howler I’ve ever seen. Clear goal. We sit through countless unnecessary reviews every week, yet with two teams seasons on the line, the umpire has failed to utilise the tools at his disposal to come to the right decision. Sorry won’t cut it #AFLCrowsSwans

Essendon fans, why does there never seem to be any pressure on Adrian Dodoro’s position as list manager? You could easily argue that the majority of their issues over the last 13 years stem from his inability to construct a list that can contend for a flag #AFLDonsPies

Liam Ryan is the most exciting player to watch in the AFL. Nobody even comes close. Hangers, pace, snags, bumps, ridiculous lace out passes that nobody else can hit. The man can do it all. You never know what’s going to happen next when he’s near the footy #AFL

If Geelong managed to get Ollie Henry, Tanner Bruhn, Jack Bowes, Conor McKenna & turn pick 7 into Jhye Clark after winning the premiership, that would have to go down as one of the all time trade periods. A mini rebuild which would keep them at the top for many years to come #AFL

There’s nothing wrong with not watching AFLW. A lot of the girls have only just started playing with lots of development needed. BUT, if you don’t like it, why comment on behalf of others who do? Given time, the spectacle will improve. Pricey just being grumpy for the sake of it.
