    Opinion Draws, do we want them?

    In reality, all it is in Rugby League is each side trying to get into position to score a field goal. There's nothing particularly amazing about that.

    The Stadium!

    Why does a government infrastructure build have to make a profit?

    It will have premiers once the Tassie AFL team is up and running.

    MRP / Trib. Will Powell (GC Suns) Banned for 5 rounds for using a homophobic slur during their loss to Brisbane.

    Actually the penalty does pass the pub test, because homophobia can be extremely harmful to the people it is directed at, either emotionally or physically, or both. And for that reason it is unacceptable, which is why the AFL will not tolerate it. It needs to be eradicated from the game. And I...

    MRP / Trib. Will Powell (GC Suns) Banned for 5 rounds for using a homophobic slur during their loss to Brisbane.

    And homophobia leads to increased suicide rates amongst the gay community. As in, you know, death by their own hand. So homophobia has physical consequences too, they are just not as apparent as with assault.

    MRP / Trib. Will Powell (GC Suns) Banned for 5 rounds for using a homophobic slur during their loss to Brisbane.

    Sure. 5 for the slur, and 5 for being stupid enough to say it, given the stance the AFL has taken.

    Grassroots Footy in NSW

    I've been involved with local senior footy in Penrith for over 30 years and the decline in junior footy in the area is devastating. In addition to the clubs mentioned in that article, St Clair - which had been a well run club - folded a couple of years back. The Penrith senior club's richest...

    RIP Cam McCarthy

    I've certainly read at least one article with the "Lifeline disclaimer", make of that what you will........ :(

    RIP Cam McCarthy

    It's a lonely place when you are engulfed by darkness, and one that is very difficult to navigate your way out of. Some are able to, sadly many are not. My father being just one of many examples of the latter. I weep for Cam that he lost his battle and I feel for those he left behind, who must...

    NO TROLLS Homophobia in the AFL - 4 Corners

    Do straight people get attacked for being straight though? And there's your difference.

    Nah, they enjoy it too much. They are not going to stop when they are having so much fun.

    MRP / Trib. Will Powell (GC Suns) Banned for 5 rounds for using a homophobic slur during their loss to Brisbane.

    But they are not lecturing you. They are imposing a penalty on an AFL player.

    It's the game. It's painful to watch.

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 6 - North v Hawks Sun April 21st 4:00pm AEST (Marvel)

    No. Tassie deserves its own side, not a relocated Melbourne side.

    Mid East Israel declare war after Hamas attack II

    Their current actions, as opposed to their past words, clearly demonstrate they don't currently support a Palestinian state. If they do indeed support a Palestinian state, let that reflect in their current behaviour. And I am talking about the USA supporting the murderous Israeli state because...

    Autopsy AFL 2024 Round 6 - Swans v Suns Sun April 21st 1:00pm AEST (SCG)

    Yeah, I wouldn't mind seeing a replay of that mark.

    Brilliant positioning by the goal umpire. :)

    Mid East Israel declare war after Hamas attack II

    I responded to you in relation to the USA's approach to Palestine. You decided to wander off into another topic completely. Whataboutism - your stock in trade. Not playing. I note that you made no effort to "debunk" my statement about the USA enabling (via arms), funding and supporting (via...

    Ah yes, your well known tactic of whataboutism.

    Mid East Israel declare war after Hamas attack II

    Yeah, I'm focussing on the US's most recent veto, which clearly states their current position regarding Palestine. They don't want it to be a state. All their other resolutions are rendered meaningless. So not only are the US happy to aid and abet Israel's mass destruction of Palestinian...

    Mid East Israel declare war after Hamas attack II

    They are just enabling another country to do it via provision of arms and money. Whilst at the same time vetoing a draft Security Council resolution to grant full UN membership to Palestine. The US are such good friends of Palestine and the Palestinians........

    "Deadly" Derek Underwood - R.I.P

    If you were basing the team solely on performances in the 70s, I wouldn't have Woolmer or Randall in the side. I'd replace them with Edrich (3) and Gower (4). As HalloweenJack said, Brearley can go out and Amiss can come in. Keeper and bowlers are spot on, although Old would definitely bat above...

    "Deadly" Derek Underwood - R.I.P

    He scored his first and only f-c century in his 591st f-c match in 1984. I'm pretty sure that is a record. Here's the scorecard. What makes it more remarkable is that it was hardly a match for the batsman. And even more remarkable again is who came in at #10 in Kent's second innings and scored...
