Why were the Crows so confident in Nicks by recently re-signing him for a two year extention?
So far this season Adelaide seem to have a lack of pressure at contests are a worsening of skills by foot and hand, when alot would have expected them to be pushing for finals.
Has he already lost the...
Hawkins will run out for his 350th next week. At 35 I still regard him as one of the best key forwards in the game currently.
3x premierships
1x Coleman
5xAA's including 1x AA captain
11x leading Geelong goalkicker
1x Geelong B & F
Pretty handy career.

Having been on this forum a while I've noticed that alot of (assumedly older) SA and WA based AFL fans mention that they followed a VFL team before their respective SA and WA based AFL teams came in.
However I don't see alot of Victorian based fans mentioning that they also followed a SANFL or...

It is a curiosity why there has never been an openly gay player in the AFL.
Clubs need to look at their environment and culture to ensure a fully safe workplace for true acceptance of these players.

AFLW have had this for the last few years.
So far there have been isolated on field efforts in the AFL to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community such as the Swans vs Saints game, but no broader show of support through a full pride round with each team having its own special jumper design like in...
AFL Draft 2021: Body-shaming skinfold test banned, news, draft order, trades | news.com.au — Australia’s leading news site
Thoughts?
Would have thought facing such a test would have motivated the young guys to stay fit.
Currently the NRL are playing all 8 of its matches this weekend at Brisbane's Suncorp stadium in what is being called "magic round".
The concept originates from the English Super League.
Should the AFL adopt this?
The economic benefits for the host city are obvious. Lots of footy tourists...
Joel Wilkinson, the AFL and the search for racial justice - ABC News
Key parts of the story -
Wilkinson also claims that his stance on racism and the complaints he made had a big influence on him being delisted.
So does the AFL just pay anti-racism lipservice or are they genuine in...
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...
"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". Reportedly only 10% of Aboriginal people are financially secure. So not wealthy.

Not sure how it compares statistically to other seasons, but there seems to be more close contests this year and fewer blowout games.
Any reason for this?

This may go along with the state of the game thread, but there seems to be a distinct lack of high flying marks so far this season. (Acknowledging that Howe still has a go).
Don't know if you can put it down to congestion or what it is, but I can only hope that we see more of this iconic part...
