AFLM?  Never going to happen, but to be appropriate, they should call themselves FLIM-FLAM.

    Love it. If for no other reason than to the response from men 'triggered' by the thought of it being AFLM.

    This is (as usual) a combination of the AFL media's favourite things:

    1. Fake News: stretching quotes from other sources to suit a narrative.

    2. Steve Hocking or some other senior AFL figure unwilling to commit to decisions that people may see as unpopular.

    In proper context:

    Hocking is being interviewed by a dedicated AFLW podcast team who are pushing their agenda, with a really inappropriate question by the way. Livingstone dodges it. Hocking attempts to answer it diplomatically, but clearly without an intention to change the name of the AFL.

    3 days later with nothing else to write about the Age and HS make it in to a story.

    they never were upset, it was the people-perpetually-aggrieved-by- proxy who were upset. The black swan better look out.

    Actually, I think there's nuance to this issue that needs considering. Is AFL (1) the name of the organisation which has Gil as its CEO and that runs all football, including men's, women's and children's competitions? (2) the type of football played which used to be known as Australian Rules Football? (3) The competition played by men?

    Given the correct answer is "all of the above", I think there is a problem about what 'AFL' means. Personally, I'd be happy with the administrative body being called 'AFL', the game being called 'Australian Rules Football' and the men's competition being AFLM, just as the women's is AFLW.

    Really? Such a first world problem the AFL (or AFLW) considers it needs to spend time and resources on?

    If the AFL must expend time, money or effort how about seriously funding regional football or junior football. Not just for the elite, but for the betterment of the sport and its grass roots.

    Political correctness gone completely bananas!! 

    Reminds me of the the term becoming common in cricket.  Once upon a time  (back in the day, before the world went stark raving mad!) the man who batted was called a "Batsman", and the stuff you stick on fish was "batter".  Not any more!!  GRRRR!!!!

    Also, while I'm in this tantrum, I also object to people referring to the sport as "AFL".  "Little Johnny, aged 9, is playing AFL."  NO!!  Little Johhny is playing Aussie Rules and, one day, he may aspire to being able to play in the AFL...!!

    SorrY!  Rant over!

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
