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

If it was Dave Hughes Iā€™d be just as flabbergasted.Ā

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

    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....

    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 weā€™ll be the point SF, but the problem here is that threads like this will be, and are,Ā hijacked; this thread being a case in point.

    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?Ā 

    Compulsory virtue signalling we have already.

    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 headsĀ the AFLW.Ā 

    Que the unjustified outrage..Ā

    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,Ā  "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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterdayā€™s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown andĀ  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
