  1. My brother who lives in FNQ has told me Flash has been appointed coach of the Carins City Lions. Really great news as Aaron was one of my favorite ever players with us and as a former resident of Carins and follower of Cairns afl i think it will be great for the sport up there.

  2. Just wondering what everyone thinks of the afls decision to exclude Hannah from this years draft? Clearly they have no coherent policy to deal with the situation but there is no doubt there will be many other Transgender people who will want to play footy at the elite level. Personally i think that at this stage even though her testosterone levels are low enough to meet the requirements of the IOC, she is still clearly at a huge physical advantage to her potential opponents. Interesting to see on Studio 10 this morning that Carlotta said she should not be allowed to play until she is "post op" and fully transitioned.

  3. As someone pointed out earlier in this thread, Dustin Martin was issued a $2000 suspended fine for making the crossed arm gesture during a game against Carlton.

    The Afl's justification for this fine was that "portions of the crowd or audience may be upset" by Martins actions.

    It is very clear from this thread and social media in general that a portion of the crowd or audience on Friday (be they racists, bigots or otherwise) WERE upset by Adam Goodes' actions, and although I and most of the fair minded football public took no offence, the Afl has set a precedent and in the interests of consistency Goodes should have been issued a suspended fine.

    After all, isn't the definition of racism treating someone differently because of their race?
