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?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
