    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!

    Ludicrous and political correctness seem to go hand in hand.

    • 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.
