The NFL ref doing the AFL goal umpire signal after a field goal. Bless him 🙏

On average, quarters this year were just 39 seconds longer than quarters in 2012. But sure, instead of cutting back on the insanely long and often unnecessary goal reviews or the last touch reviews, let’s reduce actual game time and overall scoring.
"I think it's inevitable... When Tassie enters the competition, we will see less than 20 minutes and time on enter the AFL." 🗣️ Mitch Cleary on shorter quarters in the AFL (via The Agenda Setters)

Permanently shortening quarters in the AFL would be nothing less than vandalism of the game of Australian rules football. No fan wants this, and surely the broadcasters don’t, either. Bin the idea and start again

@Adelaide_FC I hope you see this Zac Bailey deal something that was never going to happen. All we are to players is a club that offers high money for players who use as a bargaining chip. It’s sad they can smell the desperation on us.

This is Mark Nicholson. He’s One Nation’s candidate for Northern Metro in the Victorian state election. He said he’s running because of the injustices he saw as a “criminal lawyer”… …Which is weird, because no record of him EVER being a admitted as a lawyer.

"I appreciate the gesture, but I want to get behind Jordan Dawson." What a beautiful moment ❤️ All-Australian captain Max Gawn was happy to relinquish the title to his VC Jordan Dawson, after the Crow's incredible speech about mental health earlier in the night. #AFLAwards

if i had a dollar for every time in the last 2 years that the peer-voted best captain in the league, who in year 2 also won the most courageous player award, wasn’t then named captain of the all australian team, I’d have 2 dollars, which isn’t much, but weird time happened twice!

This assessment is pretty spot on from @FOXFOOTY and it is even more evident when we play good teams at Adelaide Oval. We have completely lost our ability to transition defensively. We take that dump kick far too often instead of linking up in numbers with run. #adelaidecrows

Nicks goes and the Adelaide job is the most coveted one in the game. The list is there, it just needs some tweaks and the right minds in the box. It’s win now. Keeping Nicks would be absolutely insane.

If Goodwin, Johnson and McLeod had been treated this conservatively Adelaide still wouldn't have any flags
ICYMI: @Adelaide_FC Midfield Coach, Nathan Van Berlo, on Dan Curtin “He’s had some more minutes around the ball and at stoppage in general play. We haven’t had any centre bounces as yet, but that’s certainly something we’re looking to try and build in the coming weeks.”

I’m the guy with the red beard. Dimma was actually pissed off with someone out of screen (a few seats down) for yelling at him that him he was coach of the year. I told him to ignore it and move on. Pretty big overreaction from a senior coach if you ask me

Labor just put the best treatment for cystic fibrosis ( 1 baby born with it every 4 days) which was $250k a year, on the PBS so it's $25 a script now or $7.70 on concession. Thats a LOT of voting age parents breathing a huge sigh of relief right now.

Pauline Hanson has said the Socceroos represent her “vision of monoculture”, where “people of different cultures” wear the green and gold. Pauline… that’s multiculturalism. You’re calling for something that already exists… again.
