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!

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
