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

    Why weren't we awarded the four points when Essendon could not take the field?

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?
