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!

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
