    VFL fans from the 70's and 80's - did you have a SANFL or WAFL team?

However I don't see alot of Victorian based fans mentioning that they also followed a SANFL or...

    Opinion Are you for or against the club playing in LA?

    Reports are out that the AFL are supporting the club's proposal to play a fixture out of LA in 2021. Personally I love seeing the expansion of the sport but I think it should only go ahead as a one off exhibition game. Apparently rd 1 is the proposal. I don't think that having this then a bye...

    Society/Culture The National Anthem Debate

    "Young and free". Aboriginal cultures have existed tens of thousands of years, so not young. Aboriginal peoples are amongst the most incarcerated in the world, so not free. "Wealth for toil".

    The War on Plastic Bags

    This seems in full swing now right around the country with state Governments announcing dates for plastic bag bans and major supermarkets phasing them out. There is a (rather inconvenient) push for supermarket customers to bring their own tupperware to place items in, which I find a bit...
