I remember seeing the two different beanies when I ordered from the club on the night of the game. I preferred the one on the right, which finally arrived today.

A little annoyed that my copies of At Last $39.99 and Max's Captain Diary $32.99 have still not turned up but both are in my local Target store at $19.99 and $24 99.
All my big expensive items have arrived now but nothing from the club or the AFL store. Learnt a lot after 57 years of waiting. ie the Demon Victory Pack is $94 at JBs Yet wait a few months "If you can" at it will be $6.95 like the Richmond 2020 one. The Full season one is $139 and the 2020 one is $34.99.
Next year I will be buying from the Demons store in person and not on line.
Certainly hasn't been ideal, but at the end of the day I prefer the money to go to the club rather than Target.

Got notice from Australia Post today that my beanie has been sent, and Gawny's book.
I was so keen to read it I've bought it on my Kindle so I dont have to wait for Australia Post

Ha anyone received their premier's beanie yet? Just working out if I send the club a hurry up email
I haven't recieved mine yet either.
I note the website still shows them as a pre-order item with an expected release date of November 1
The AFL store website shows they have them in stock though.I hope the club gets these out in time for Christmas, though I would've liked to have mine before next weekend.

I see a lot of similarities with Carlton right now to when we hired Neeld.
Old coach fired after only a few years
Bring in the club legends to pick the new coach
Experienced senior coach pulls out of the race because the selection process seems a bit scuffed (Sheedy and the powerpoint)I hope for their sake it goes a little better than it did for us.

Changing sports for a minute, 3 Portsmouth youth players (all aged under 18) were sacked after a racist conversation was leaked online after the Euros. It's balancing act of punishing the individual/needing to set an example against educating the offender. (An Extension of the retributive vs restorative justice debate if you will)
I don't know the answer or what is appropriate punishment for any of these instances. For Walker you can say 6 weeks isn't enough and you're probably right. Even if the AFL went harder on Walker I sadly don't think that would reduce the amount of racist comments some indigenous players receive online.
Fair enough. Perhaps cancelling a contract is a step too far, but my main point is the disparity between the way the general public is punished for a similar incident, and the way Walker is.
It comes off like the AFL is tough on racism until there's a chance it will cost someone money, then 6 weeks is good enough.

6 Matches is not enough, i am of the view that if a player makes a comment like this they should be given a zero strike policy, they should be sacked on the spot.
AFL players carry a responsibility to be role models and how many feral Adelaide Supporters, and wider supporters (Collingwoods entire base) will now think it's okay to say things like this because Tex did
Im inclined to agree with you. Case after case of rank and file punters shouting things over the fence at players have resulted in membership cancellations and multi-year bans. The same integrity unit at AFL house then comes out and slaps a former club captain with 6 weeks.
Should the standard for players, especially a former club captain not be the same if not higher than that of the fans? What is this difference in this case?
I would think in this current year we would be moving towards flat out cancelling contracts for this kind of behaviour.

Yes I thought the same thing
I understand why Goodes has problems with the way he was treated but I don't really understand his reasons for rejecting what appears to me to be clear recognition of his contribution and significance to the game
Having watched the documentary they did on his last season, I would say he doesn't want anything to do with the AFL. Fair enough

I don't think Adam Goodes owes anything to anyone. Last time he took a stand on racial issues, he spent the remainder of his career getting booed by crowds, and mocked by a club president. Why should he jump at the opportunity to 'help with reconciliation and healing' when he got burned so badly in the past

Let us not forget the cowardly filth supporters who attacked Nathan Jones dad in the MCG carpark as a very young Zak Jones looked on helplessly.
I actually knew those guys, went to school with them. I will tell you now it wasn't the first time they had done something like that either, just the first time they got caught.
It was a pretty sad family background, mum was a heroin addict and the dad spent most of their childhood in prison for a pretty high profile shooting.

Big development...
the Kayo Android TV app is now out and available on Google Play
Search for "kayo s" as just kayo does not show it.
Let the games begin
You need AOS version 7.1 on your TV so you may have to update your TV software
Brilliant news! I will have to install it tonight
Any early impressions?

Not that I actually care one iota but what sort of crowd did they get?
Were there any Poweraids Super Dopper Pooper Scoopers? Did both in the crowd go bananas in response?
23k or thereabouts

Vail Resorts? International snowfield operator who I believe we're purchasing Hotham and Falls Creek

From what I understand the video was shot in Germany during Oktoberfest, and the substance he snorted is a legal non- narcotic in Germany that is popular at that time of year

I had to laugh in the first when he fell over, somehow the ball landed in his lap as he got up, and Darcy commented how well read it was by him.

Great to see someone doing something nice as opposed to scalping them on Facebook. Pity you won't be there to celebrate

They have to take into account the injury. Match review aren't consistent though.
I would expect this will be referred straight to the tribunal

You literally said hed been all over the media for the wrong reasons.
He had been in the media for all the wrong reasons.
I still didn't say he deserved a harsher penalty than Gaff. The point I was making is that the perception of the person will inevitably have an impact, even though it shouldn't. Much like when Rance threw an elbow in to the back of Jack Watt's head and got let off with a slap on the wrist

Just now, biggestred said:
Yes gaff deserves less weeks than bugg because the media like him more.
Not at all what I said.
All I said is Bugg had a track record, I never defended what Gaff did or said he deserved less. I actually said he will get 8 if you had bothered to read my first comment.

And what track record was that??
Mills was the first time he was suspended
2016 MRP fine for making contact with an injured player as far as MRP is concerned, but he'd been all over TV and the newspapers for weeks for all the wrong reasons leading up to that

And the player he king hit played the next week.
Bugg had a pretty bad track record though. Still, given that Brayshaw's season is over it will probably be 8

This is an annual event at your footy club great to hear it worked for you. Hope you enjoy the season.

Very disappointing. I know it's for yourself but you would hate to have been planning to give it as a Christmas gift
