    Honestly who cares? I think it’s crazy that in 2023 we still don’t have players who feel comfortable enough to be themselves. 
    Sad that there are likely dozens of AFL players who are hiding their sexuality for fear of not being accepted. 

    Would be surprised if there were, given the increase in acceptance.

    I know for a fact they don’t hide anything at club land. It’s just nobody comes out because why would you put yourself through the horror show you see aimed at indigenous or female athletes if you didn’t have to.

    She did say "The Orange team" one time during a Giants game.

    Yes

    She's employed for her voice... And what she uses it to say

    It's annoying 

    And she constantly tries to shoehorn in illfitting and awful sayings and colloquialisms that simply don't fit

    Back on the game; cheering for a team I despise is hard work.

    No we weren't comparing

    But you are delusional, she is terrible, kept mistaking Charile Cameron for Charlie Curnow a week or so ago 🤷‍♂️

    BT is miles ahead...

    Underwood's  voice, regardless of chromosomal makeup, is like fingernails on a blackboard and I for one just cannot listen. Also her obviously pre rehearsed attempts at humour are very "dad like".

    Can’t wait for Kingy to say Pendlebury is the best centre clearance player in the comp this week.

    Like anything deeply rooted in our psyche, it takes generational change to see the outcomes for diversity and inclusion to really be a ‘thing that was’ - a bit like Covid. It was a period we passed thru that was tough but has accelerated us to get closer to the desired outcome. 
    So I agree it must be difficult for the current generation to be in a major transitioning stage of sexuality and identity, being accepted and feeling comfortable within societal norms.

    I still can't decide which team I want to lose?  What happens if it's a draw?

    It's Friday night and my brain is frazzled ... need wine

    And lets hope that stay that way. When we won in 21 I thought of him and had a chuckle. Couldn't stand it if he, cox and ginnivan won a premiership

    Pies can't drop below 2nd can they?  Even if they lose their last 2

    Port would need to gain a lot of percentage

    • PREVIEW: Sydney

      The two teams competing at the MCG on Sunday afternoon have each traversed a long and arduous path since their previous encounter on a sweltering March evening in Sydney a season and a half ago. Both experienced periods of success at various times last year. The Demons ran out of steam in midseason while the Swans went on to narrowly miss the ultimate prize in the sport. Now, they find themselves outside of finals contention as the season approaches the halfway mark. The winner this week will remain in contact with the leading pack, while the loser may well find itself on a precipice, staring into the abyss. The current season has presented numerous challenges for most clubs, particularly those positioned in the middle tier. The Essendon experience in suffering a significant 91-point loss to the Bulldogs, just one week after defeating the Swans, may not be typical, but it illustrates the unpredictability of outcomes under the league’s present set up.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
