Mate I am used to dealing with that conundrum!

You have to laugh at how the media operates these days. Particularly the footy media.

Create a story where these isn't one, in this case based on a vague answer to a question (THE AFLM is coming !!!!!).

Media comments on that non story.

People (all the better if it is someone half famous - or else  just quote twitter) then comment on those comments.

Rinse and repeat. 

Here's an example. 

https://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/embarrassing-and-unprofessional-jeff-kennett-launches-strong-criticism-of-afl-after-aflm-clarification/news-story/3ffd880bb08c39ed1b7b8d6957bf560d

Slobbo has also commentated on the AFLM mania in the same rag.

Fair dinkum the world is getting dumber.

Interestingly  ABC news had a completely different spin on the story, which was how long it took Nicole Livingston  to answer the question not a critique of Hocking or god forbid any serious consideration of i becoming AFLM. In fact the article makes it clear it is not going to happen.

By the by for context here is the actual question and response:

The AFL CEO is the biggest 'politically correct' lefty going around, so I wouldn't be surprised to see this come about under his reign

Maybe we will eventually have all these politically correct woke competitions:

LAFL

GAFL

TAFL

BAFL

IAFL

 

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

No

Tennis has led the way with womens sport and never added a M to the men's tour.

Calm your farm! it's like the media want to polarise people and incite sexism


surely not but funny to see the responses, some people get so upset by this type of stuff!

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

  • GAMEDAY: Essendon

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

  • PREVIEW: Essendon

    As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
