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

If it was Dave Hughes I’d be just as flabbergasted.

    Waleed seems like a perfectly reasonable human being to me but his opinion on AFL is no more valid than anyone’s on here. Strange.

     

     

    Asked, answered

     

    I saw the title and fairly assumed it was an article from The Onion.

    Only Waleed can save this country.Only Waleed knows what is really going on lounge rooms across the nation.It's colonialism,it's racism, it's pure evil plotted and perpetuated by people of no colour.Waleed needs to step up and help us become more accepting ,decent, intelligent,caring,loving and inclusive.If you disagree with this you are racist, evil,and narrow minded.Help us Waleed.We are nothing without you.

    Back on the J.Walker again, Biff. More clap trap....

    Is it just me or has the contents of the article linked in the OP changed?

    Could have sworn it was different a few hours ago.

     

    Edit: link to Herald Sun Tweet, explicitly reporting Aly was consulted on rule changes:

     

     

     

    Some top-notch journalism going on here.

    Lock this thread up.

    This kind of discussion was barred in the General forum, and now we have the usual suspects pushing their respective barrows here in a football discussion forum!

    You can tell where the Hun's priorities lie.

    Non football person consulted about rules who happens to be Muslim (well not really) so let's headline the opinion of a peripheral football person (who is better known for playing cricket) who appeals to the little Aussie battler demographic (but is one of the bigger louts in Australian sporting history).

    It's interesting. I'm no fan of Waleed however I think the joke is more on the AFL than him, which is the point. The AFL are desperate, they created this mess yet they are consulting every man and his dog on proposed rule changes. There has been a football fan forum and group set up which had a meeting in June I attended, the session did not go for long enough and proposed ideas from this were apparently laughed at by the AFL. The joke of it is the AFL and Gil himself, not Waleed Aly, who I don't think should have been approached anyway.

    He wasn't.

    Original article was incorrect. He attended a briefing, that is all. The story on the link in the OP seems to have been updated with the facts, but with no mention of being incorrect in the first place.

    Your comment on the AFL being a joke however is accurate.

    That may we’ll be the point SF, but the problem here is that threads like this will be, and are, hijacked; this thread being a case in point.

    The Hun put out their fishing rod and got what they wanted. Social media outrage and clicks by the thousands was a guarantee.

    No issue with Waleed being consulted - main surprise is another Geelong person wasn't asked. Hocking has loaded up with Geelong people on the Committee and the extras (Whateley etc) and also sees no reason to budge from his pre-determined view (Triple M last Saturday).

    All to give Danger room to move around stoppages.

    TBH I don't believe any of them and if he was just going in to hear the proposed rule changes as a general fan, then why can't everyone else?

    Lets go with the idea

    What rule changes would Waleed bring in? 

    Compulsory virtue signalling we have already.

    I also liked the added touch of using that photo of him sporting the most condescending possible look he could have pulled.

    Well played Rupert. Try a bit harder next time and you might be able to drive him out of the country too!

    Complete and utter non-story. 

    They are doing these presentation to many, many people. Waleed was on SEN this morning and he got into one of the presentations because someone from the project now heads the AFLW. 

    Que the unjustified outrage.. 

    • Like 2

    AFL now bringing in random minor celebrities they want to be seen with in the social pages, as consultants on the 'state of the game'.

    Quick test to see if Waleed Aly is in tune with the problems of the gamedoes he say,  "The first thing you should do is stop inviting people like me for a chit-chat, and start focusing on the fundamentals".

    All very irritating.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
