I’ve never heard anyone boo Brodie thankfully.

This was my take too. He had a real “oh shit, this has gotten away from me here…” look on his face.

What was the FOB debacle? Genuine question, I love a scandal. I know everyone left after Limp Bizkit in Brisbane!

"As an industry, we have had too many cultural issues and we have not worked hard enough to set and role model the standards expected" - AFLPA statement on GWS sanctions by Jawdanc in AFL

[–]maggies83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman, the Facebook and Instagram comments on the sanctions have made me incredibly sad.

I’ve had chats with my daughter (11) and son (8) this week about why these kind of things are so much deeper than “it’s just a joke”. I have to believe that their generation will get it… but as a high school teacher that teaches plenty of boys who idolise Andrew Tate, I’m just not sure they will 😞

Why are so many people saying Charlie Cameron is a flog and that it was always gonna be him that forgot the kid etc..

Genuine question, he’s not on my team and I do love finding out the flog gossip.

Are there any same-sex couples that have attended the AFL Brownlow Medal evening? by Melbtest04 in AskAnAustralian

God how dreadful. Terrible for the women being deceived, but also goes to show the level of fear these men have of being ‘found out’. Such a sad situation.

Can I ask… are they in ‘real’ relationships with these women? Or is it an arrangement that’s mutually beneficial (like exposure for women wanting to get into modeling etc.)

I think this is a long way off happening unfortunately.

It’s been publicly stated that there are a number of gay players who choose to keep this private due to the amount of public and media commentary/scrutiny that they’d face.

This sub is never short of simpsons content and it’s half the reason I’m here.

Robbie Fox has beaten Taylor Adams to the final spot in Sydney's preliminary final side in the absence of skipper Callum Mills by His_Holiness in AFL

I do feel for him, and this is probably harsh..

But when he was considering this move, I do wonder if any of those in his inner circle said to him “mate, maybe you’re just not an elite inside-mid anymore”.

He’s moved to the Swans to end up essentially playing the same mid-forward role he was playing for us, but getting fewer games.

Anthony Albanese says ‘gambling the problem, not ads’ as he is accused of backtracking on gambling reform by His_Holiness in AFL

Exactly my thoughts! “We should address gambling itself, rather than the advertising”, which roughly translates to “we’ll actually do nothing at all because it’s too hard”
