Mate, he is on a show, nightly where he discusses topics and gives his opinion. Better than the opposite of the average apathetic person afraid to give an opinion. Its easier to agree with the masses.

I don't agree with all of his thoughts but he has the guts to put them out there

I agree , he has the right to say whatever he wishes . I'd never advocate anybody being stopped from expressing themselves.

And none of it true.

I was just about to edit my post to say 'also, all a bit of a storm in a teacup really'.

It appears he attended some kind of briefing, as a media figure with one of the major television networks, among a variety of others. That's all rather different to a one-on-one chat about the aesthetics of the game.

Herald Sun keeping its standards where they are. I'm irritated that I got sucked in.

And I'm also a bit irritated that this thread has become a Waleed good vs Waleed evil tossaround. The only issue here (that appears to not be an issue) is that the AFL had apparently (in Herald Sun report level of verifaction, which probably means an intern visited a facebook group) sought out a celebrity to get strategic advice on  the state of the game after decades of smugly ignoring the earnest and good advice being shouted at them from every bloody direction.

The whole rule change debacle is a complete circus. Gill and Steve trying to make their mark on the game. People's panel consulting is just an attempt to find ex-ante support for unnecessary changes.

The last 8-10 weeks of footy has been great. They should keep their grubby mits off our game!

Why? Because the umps have thrown the ball up quicker, and been (a bit) better making decisions (including winding back interpretation of stupid recent rule changes)

How successful have recent changes been?

  - Ruck nominations - confusing debacle

  - 10m protected area 50m penalties - blight on the game (umps now directed to largely ignore)

  - pay head high free kicks at any chance - duckers and floppers like Selwood, Puopolo and a host of others leading with head to be rewarded cheap frees

  - Deliberate OOB or not trying hard enough to keep in or whatever the rule is - who the hell knows what's going on here?

   - Deliberate rushed behind - idiotic response to one games tactics 

There's probably more...

As someone else posted - Solutions looking for problems!

Are people's issues here with a TV personality being approached or just this particular TV personality being approached?

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
