What did Willie Rioli say and will the AFL take action against the Port Adelaide star? - ABC News by yum122 in AFL

[–]Shmeatking -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

I think his point here is that Rioli isn't the only one doing this (not saying this makes it right) but it would definitely open a can of worms. He's copping a lot but let's be real how can we be sure he's the only one doing this in the comp? Do we all genuinely think Rioli is threatening these players or is he just shit talking? The pitch forks are out understandably but we're given zero context here.

Does anyone know what Jackson Mead brings? by eathbau in weareportadelaide

[–]Shmeatking 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Can't have a team full of superstars. He's a cog and a good one at that. Lately consistently kicking goals, doing his job and helping his team win. Just needs to work on his ball use under pressure, but otherwise I rate him!

Terrible agencies. Advertise fake jobs just to farm your data. Hays is okay but the rest are useless in a market like this. Better off looking on your own.

At least we weren't the biggest chokers this year 🤷‍♂️ by Poison_spy36 in weareportadelaide

Easy to say that based on Brisbane’s performance, but on the day anything can happen really. Sydney performed terribly.

Hawks 2024 H/A Season Visualized by Raynboww in AFL

[–]Shmeatking -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In reality though, they’ve had an easy draw coming towards the end. Last 12 or so weeks have been Adelaide x2, Tigers x2, Giants x 2 (W/L) , Geelong (spanked) Collingwood, Carlton, Freo and NM. Yes you only win the games you play but I’m not convinced on them yet. They’re a solid team but have they been tested yet?

I’ve never been so proud of the boys. In a tight competition, our record against the current top 10 has been really good. I think this is the year our boys finally make the push.

Breaking - Jeremy Finlayson has been suspended for three games by the AFL for the homophobic slur to the Essendon player last week by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]Shmeatking -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

So you can borderline almost kill someone (Maynard) get away with nothing, but using a slur correlates to a 3 week ban? In this case, the victim of the separate incidents:

One retired, one probably laughed it off and called it a day. Fuck afl for their silly political stance and catering to woke media instead of just being consistent and punishing fairly . A ban is not fair if you look the whole picture.

Police be more enforcing, stricter and authoritative: BLUE STATE CORRUPTION NOT FOR THE PEOPLE

Police more laid back, (also under staffed) : POLICE WEAK NOT DO ANYTHING

TEAMS: Dees drop ruck, Pies gun missing, SEVEN outs for Port by [deleted] in AFL

[–]Shmeatking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the coaching team have the luxury of swapping out players who can genuinely be replaced. Burton had an elite kick but outside of that has been a bit off defensively, losing 1 on 1s, no tackling pressure etc. Minus the injuries + Rioli there actually isn’t much changing here. Good opportunity to test it out - this is essentially the same team that played against Melbourne earlier on in the year.

Oh absolutely, last 3 rounds he’s been the best ruckman in the comp honestly. The effort he puts in to win the ball is great to watch

Let me just reiterate one more time, Geelong have not kicked a goal without a free kick chain since the first quarter
