You won’t need the new homes if the State continues to wallow in its own muck. What will attract people to Tassie? Will it be the lack of AFL footy? Perhaps the concert providers who keep passing Tassie by?
People will continue to flee as they have done for decades!

The AFL holding Tasmania to ransom with stadium political football is an utter disgrace

The Devil is in the detail.
No stadium No Devils!
The AFL does not need another team to prop up.

… by Tasmanians!

Wellington's character-filled Basin Reserve pities Australia's soulless, corporate stadiums

Going to an NZ cricket ground is like being transported back to the 1970’s? Sheesh!

Perhaps he is an obvious target because he has a track record of “talking”?

Usman Khawaja sets off accidental political storm in NZ

Bonetig staying on was ridiculous!
WSW should have been down to 10 a few minutes into the game.
King is a ridiculously poor ref!

Highly controversial red card cruels Adelaide as Wanderers jump into top four

It is about to get worse when they move to Auckland.
Cricket should NEVER be played on that “ground”!

'Special to watch': David's demolition propels Australia to last-ball cliffhanger win after bowlers earn unwanted record

I am not sure how Warner could hold down a commentary gig and not be questioned by fellow commentators at some stage (especially during a rain delay).
I also suspect that there will be the odd book coming from South Africa which may make some serious allegations (although people in glass houses …)?
Nonetheless, the full truth will never be known or acknowledged.

The brotherhood: Why Warner will be forever silent about Sandpapergate

So is Sharma now suggesting that the rest of the world should now doctor pitches because South Africa and India do?

Rohit hits out at Indian pitch critics after Cape Town drama ends as quickest-ever completed Test

Surely that level of dissent warrants a hefty fine?

Who would they be playing against?

I would prefer the Poms were less hypocritical but hey, it is what it is!

The Bairstow rules: Dusty old Laws of Cricket get rewritten so everyone plays in the right ‘Spirit’ according to Jonny

Not sure these 3 could be described as a great coup for Port! Time will tell but its a Nope from me!

Have Port taken their eye off the ball with trade talks while still alive in September?

Umpires read the papers. They love to jump onto a bandwagon so they will give him votes. Not a bad player either 😊

The Roar's predicted AFL All-Australian team: Dusty must make the cut... but who should be left out for him?

Great article (and I agree that the MCG grand final lock needs to be added to the list)!
I would also add the tainted drafts and the ridiculous calls for priority picks due to poor performance as well as the existence/need to remove Academies and adjust (remove?) the Father-Son rules so as newer clubs are not penalised!
The game has been so jaundiced by the AFL and Corporate greed that I find that I no longer go out of my way to watch games, especially if my team (crows) are not involved. I have attended more SANFL matches this year than AFL! I have attended even more local club games!
I know that I am amongst a group of friends but, whilst we are a dying breed (we are all getting older), it seems to me that there is a lot of discontent with the state of the game!

Crows robbery the latest in a long list of failures by Gill's arrogant AFL

That seems to be England’s preference at the moment.

Pretty sure Australia would have declined the opportunity to “only bowl Head and Labuschagne” and kept the quicks on. Off the field we go!

'Doesn't understand the game': Stokes rejects criticism of key call, names biggest regret

Too many years actually … that is what is wrong with English cricket! Surely the Poms look to the future now … no room for Anderson, Broad, Ali, Bairstow and if they really want to see a future team … no Root either!

Weather they like it or not, England only have themselves to blame for Australia being raining Ashes champs

Nope. You used the plural and mentioned multiple formats!
I’m sure you have been called a few things these last few days. Do you wonder why?

UK View: 'He didn't look like a leader. He looked pathetic' - Cummins caned but Poms also skewer 'dozy' Bairstow

You claim to have heard it at 1 match and extrapolate that to all international matches involving Australia!
Weird … or simply untrue!

“I’ve attended Tests and ODI’s in Australia in recent times and the ‘Kill him’ chant is still used. It was an eye opener I can tell you.”

But you said earlier that you have heard it at several tests and ODI’s! Which is it?

ironic!
