In full disclosure Wilkie is my local member but I’ve never voted for him and I’m fully committed to a new roofed stadium in Hobart.
If Demetriou or Gil ever made public statements in the past it was to give clubs a heads up to drop off before it got too far out of control rather than deal with it directly.
Rampant drug use, tanking, supplements, racial discrimination – all issues where the AFL whitewash has been applied for the ‘good of the game’.

Not a fan of Wilkie’s but he is a strong advocate for integrity being a whistleblower in a past life. He may not be an AFL fan but he’s entitled to be cynical about the AFL organisation itself which has a long record of running cover for clubs who push the boundaries.

HUGE story…Dees fans would be deeply concerned that their recent flag ends up considered tainted.
No doubt Melbs current management will call the claims spurious and motivated by disgruntled ex-staff.

The Suns win the flag for nondescript every year.
Training top vibes… 🤢
Devils ready to raise hell: AFL's newest club goes back to the future with traditional jumper as stadium furore rages on
True but the impact was low so the MRO’s proposed 1 week suspension was rightly struck down.
The first time Sic has had any relief in these type of proceedings IIRC.
Yay!
Free Sicily: Hawks skipper cleared of kicking ban by Tribunal
Boo!

Adam Goodes almost fractured Josh Gibson’s leg with a flying kick – no case to answer.
The consequence of the action must be taken into account – after all we are not talking about the head here which is sacrosanct.
Just because it’s not a good look doesn’t automatically make it a suspension under the current rules.
Six Points: Meet the AFL's dumbest team, and the most ridiculous ban in MRO history
Sic was surrounded by 5 Bombers and was defending himself with the final action an incidental kick – not ideal but the contact was minor.
Only a fine would be required but the MRO applying his usual Sicily Tax. Only Toby Greene gets dealt as harshly.

Queensland govt today rejected both a Gabba stadium rebuild or a new greenfield alternative because of the $3b or $3.4b respective price tags and the Tasmania govt still spruiking $715m for a new Macquarie Point stadium?
I’m keen on a new home for the new team away from Bellerive or UTAS stadium but don’t pretend it can be built for peanuts.

Spot on Rowdy. The primrose T on the map is superfluous – we all know it’s Tasmania.
I’ll be a foundation member but I think the tired old State of Origin guernsey design is an opportunity missed.

Tim, I totally agree with your summaries of the Sicily suspension and Sam Mitchell’s sub misstep.
Both baffling.

I know it may not be your headline, Dem but ‘something special’ in the case of the Dons may be winning their first final in over 7000 days…. 😂
I can’t see a flag in their future with this list…
Brad Scott is building something special at Essendon, Bombers fans... if you just stay patient
Tim, even the most optimistic Hawks supporter, me included, can see finals this season – happy to be proved wrong.
Our thin defensive stocks are a key reason for that view.
AFL Oracle: There's always one! Which of last year's bottom five is September-bound in 2024?
Dreading more Frostball….groan.
'Disaster out here': Hawks rocked by training 'carnage' with two injured as pre-season from hell gets worse
Hawks finish 16th but cop the 5th hardest fixture – City Hall not even pretending to hide its bias…. 😡
Also as a Tassie member, (respectfully) the 4 opponents heading down in 2024 are a dogsh#t return for the millions the govt invests although it’s nothing new.

Ok so who won a premiership in this trade period?
Jack's back: Gunston a Hawk again in dramatic end to Trade Period as Power land targets at the death
Way unders for Brockman. Will be a star…
Eagles land Hawk, deny 'completely unfounded and untrue' Darling trade rumour
Look, not the best decision technically but no team ever won a flag without luck playing a small part in the drama of a grand final.
It’s a Collingwood 2023 premiership in perpetuity regardless of who we barracked for on the day.
Congratulations to the winners, commiserations to the runners up.

The likely McKay compo pick is more my issue.
Pick 19 for Lance Franklin vs likely pick 3 for Ben McKay……joke….

Congrats to Carlton for turning the corner after decades in the wilderness – brought serious intent and application to this finals series.
Finals Fix: One quarter from hell couldn't keep the Lions out of the big dance - but another might just cost them the flag
Joe Daniher to be a premiership player? Think about that for a moment….

Could Ben McKay be Essendon’s next Jake Carlisle? 😁

I was riding the orange wave tbh but you have to admit the Pies well and truly deserve their chance.
Finals Fix: The Pies were down and out in the prelim. How they turned it around is the stuff of greatness
Another Clarkson apprentice- I’ve lost count of how many have gone on to senior gigs including premiership coaches.
Congrats to Adam.

IIRC salary cap breaches seem to be the only issue that the AFL takes seriously….
