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!

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
