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.

    hasn't been a safe space for dees supporters for over 50 years!

    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 Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?
