Wayne Bennett suspended from coaching Souths this weekend against his old mob the Broncos after breaching covid protocols. ( eating in a restaurant with wife). 

I'm still unsure how Bucks was able to coach last round. 

Reallly?  Remind me, what club does he coach?  Who is their president?

    He admitted fault cos he had some fault in it. Hardly think it's this conspiracy some are trying to make it out to be.

    Cleary actually broke an AFL Media protocol of not reporting the names of family members who break protocol.

    Perhaps a bit less speedy with the insults and outrage until all the facts come out.

    Even then, not sure why the insults are necessary tbh.

    Nev this post is not directed at you but at the highlighted point you raised. 

    Every reporter that reported on the story has named Ms Cotchin, have they been suspended?

    Ms Cotchin outed herself. 

    I cannot see how reporting on a public post leads to Cleary's suspension, all the suspension does is draw more attention to Ms Cotchin. 

    The stupidity of people that post photos of themselves breaking rules/laws staggers me. They deserve whatever comes their way. 

    I note that Cleary admitted doing the wrong thing, I suspect he wants to continue AFL reporting.

    I guess it's a bit like an embargo, once the first person has reported it then it's 'out there'. Also, not every reporter is employed by AFL media and has the same agreed rules as them.

    Totally agree she outed herself and it was dumb. I also think a warning to Cleary would have been more than enough.

    Cleary did the wrong thing and admitted it. I don't get why people are making up conspiracies about something so simple.

    More players break the rules: covid-breach-port-stars-set-to-cop-bans-after-entertaining-visitors

    Should get the same suspension as young Elijah Taylor of the Swans:  out for the season (plus solitary confinement in his room for 14 days to quarantine). 

    Throw the book at them.  If they miss playing in finals bad luck!

    Idiots for risking the competition.

    I am sure I remember early on in this COVID season planning there was discussion that any breaches (by players, officials or WAGS) would result in immediate end of season for the offenders,  however as some of the higher profile breaches involved Collingwood and Richmond high profile individuals, nothing meaningful has happened.

    Now would it be different for example if ANB had committed a breach (of course before he was suspended)?

    If it was AVB he'd be put to the guillotine

    Because that isn’t in the script.

    Wait and see the next ANB type tackle and if it’s a name player, watch the way it is differentiated and penalised.

     The Cotchin’s are self-entitled bogans and the AFL are pathetic. 

    I believe the term these days is "CUBs"
    Cashed Up Bogans.

    I'm so sick of hearing the term 'WAGS' whenever I hear it I don't get the impression of innocent family and wife I just think of spoiled idiots that have no idea that being in the hub is a privilege and not a right. Any story that contains that term is usually nothing but trouble.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
