Ken Hinkley made an aeroplane gesture and had a few words with Ginnivan - and got fined $20k.
Sicily and Barrass absolutely berate an umpire post siren and get wet lettuce fines they likely won’t pay….
If the AFL are serious they should both get suspensions - fines don’t hurt!

“When I was a kid, Australians were seen as tough and rugged. Steve Irwin types.”
Meanwhile, actual Steve Irwin:
“My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status”
Matt doesn’t realise the entire “rugged bushman” archetype he remembers “when I was a kid” was literally built around a white man having a uniquely respectful relationship with Aboriginal people - and being gifted a deep understanding of an inhospitable land built on tens of thousands of years surviving it (knowledge not taken, not “taught”, not socialised: gifted)…
…Major Les Hiddins/The Bush Tucker Man, William Buckley (Buckley’s chance), Donald Thomson and his WWII Special Reconnaissance Unit, and comedically Crocodile Dundee, Russell Coight…
So Matt’s rugged archetype was always into “gay bullshit like that”.
Being a dumb kid who never got that “when I was a kid” doesn’t change it.

Has any country ever fallen off harder than Australia? When I was a kid, Australians were seen as tough and rugged. Steve Irwin types. Now the word “Australia” is synonymous with gay bullshit like this. Gay bullshit appears to be the country’s main export. Like Canada but with bigger spiders. What a shame.
You know the best thing about Americans? There is America to keep them in.
Australia’s first ever NFL game began with a land acknowledgment. This is insane. Australia also has a national sorry day where the country apologizes to the aborigines every year. If you think the US can’t get crazier, it can.

Hey @google I’d like to report an error.
The lake that borders New York and Ontario is an international body of water, and it is widely agreed by the entire world, except one rogue leader, that the name of this lake is “Lake Ontario”

The idea vaccines cause autism was invented by Andrew Wakefield in 1998 in a fraudulent paper.
It's was so thoroughly debunked he lost his license for gross medical malpractice
And here we are 28 years later RFK Jr is dredging it up and using it to inform vaccine policy

Geelong three-time premiership great Jimmy Bartel: “this is not a misstep … This is either gross incompetence, or a deceitful act.”

Port Adelaide were fined $100K for 1 instance of breaching Concussion Protocols RE: Aliir Aliir. How many times was Kolodjashnij put at risk after signing the waiver? Surely the punishment to Geelong is significantly more than what Port got @tommorris32? And that's even before also considering they intentionally went around the CBA.

"Absolutely outrageous that a young person's been taken advantage of."
Former AFLPA chief and Tigers player Joel Bowden has called for a Senate committee hearing into the secret waiver involving a Geelong player with concussion history, calling the move "gambling with a young person's health and safety".
