Another one from me, out they go altogether as far as I'm concerned but unfortunately it is only certain brands they are looking at banning.

I heard someone with a good suggestion saying that if you wear a glove then you have to leave it on when kicking for goal. The glove interferes with the ball drop, if you want the advantage in a marking contest then you get the disadvantage in the kick. Interesting idea.

    Have always found the gloves to be against the spirit of the game.

    The fact that it has taken so long to test these gloves is an indictment on the AFL.

    I never had a problem with the late, great Sean Wight wearing them - wasn't he one of the first that introduced wearing gloves which then saw Tony Campbell bring out his own range and made craploads of $, but probably not as much as Easton.

    Gloves were so late 80's - early 90's. Players that wear them now remind me of guys that still wear corduroy jackets, one day they will be back in fashion, but today isn't that day.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
