The heart beats true

I would imagine that it’s not so much to do with public perception, but more to do with internal IP about salary cap management at clubs. If it was public knowledge what every player was paid clubs would know when they had the whip hand, and exactly to what extent, when trading with other clubs. I don’t imagine they want that, as it takes away bargaining power. It is weird though, and oddly out of sync with global sports.

Never gets mentioned by the AFL at all. Some time around 2015 they got some data from the EPL that told them having one sided competitions didn’t impact the bottom dollar, and the whole idea of equalisation went quietly away.

Footy is a very average sport in 2025.

The carry on from Fox implies that they think more Geelong fans are watching than Brisbane. No way would they be carrying on about the umpires if Collingwood got those 2 free kicks. The pandering to viewers ruins the broadcast.

Maynard cannons into Nibbler and then stands over him and taunts him. He is the worst bloke in the competition by a mile. Absolute dog.

This is garbage from the Crows. This will haunt them. They won’t get a better opportunity than this.

Adelaide not handling the pressure at all.

I was waiting for someone to get smacked over the head with a folding chair.

Nibbler ❤️

I reckon you should give up on the footy too. If this kind of stuff annoys you the future is going to be much, much harder for you. 👋

Nice timing Mono 👍😂

First Tom Hawkins and now Jeremy Cameron. At this rate Billy Brownless will be captain of the AFL Team of the Century.

I’m hoping for a Collingwood straight sets. If they don’t get it done this year then it gets significantly harder for them given their demographics. Also, if it’s not us I always prefer an interstate premier. You don’t run into their supporters on the street. It’s like it never happened.

As a proud gay person, and AFL fan, I would do anything for love - but I won’t do that.

I do remember! I’d never reject you now. As everyone knows the only way we can grow our ranks is to recruit. I’ll bring you over to the other side of the rainbow. 🌈

We have one rule in our family. You can be whoever you want to be, but that person is a Melbourne supporter.

I gave it a try, but have you seen my boyfriend? He’s a babe.

Once I saw written on a Belfast bathroom wall.. ‘Ya Dad sells Avon’

I forgot about this! What a weird, and unbelievably common, thing to say. I wonder how it became such a part of the language of footy? Thanks for the memories.

Yeah, it’s not a great look.

Do you think when the meteor struck the dinosaurs saw it coming, or do you reckon they just went about their business, complaining about the changes, before they realised it was all too late for them? 👋

What? Every gay person was the victim, as well as everyone how loves them. If you don’t understand that then you need to open your eyes. The privilege it takes to write this would be hilarious if it wasn’t so sad.

Buckley said yesterday on Fox how much he loves ‘Checkers’ and his story. I used to live around the corner from Brody. He’s a really nice guy. It’s not his fault he got drafted to the wrong club. #freebrody

Was your point that you think we need to have workshops to educate people not to use a slur from the 19th century to denigrate gay people? THEY KNOW. Stop trying to tie yourself in knots to make this about anything but what it is.

I’d suggest handing out 6 suspensions in 16 months at an average of 5 games is enough of an education. Do we need to hold everyone’s hand until they understand? No. This has never been appropriate. Rub them out. Keep doing it until the problem goes away. Thats the education, and the solution.
