The irony of your comment.

Lions stand behind 'father figure' Fagan after 'distressing and difficult week' amid racism allegations

It is the LNP’s ABC. Scomo appointed a conservative tabloid magazine editor as head.

They, Fagan at least, were offered additional time if they needed… it was not taken up. This seems to be standard practice.

I wonder if Logue might pause his request to trade to North given the uncertainty resulting from the AFL investigation into Hawthorn coaching department.

AFL Oracle revisited: Grading my pre-season predictions for 2022

In this game they are the ‘underdog’… as in, not the favourite. I agree, they are a very successful club.

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions: Grand Final edition

Bit of a common view, Geelong absolute favourites, but, many would like to see Sydney get up. People tend to go for the underdog. 2 clubs with outstanding finals record over the past 20 years… it is kind of the battle of a generation of achievement.
Both teams can wear their ‘home strips’, as there is no clash… easy to watch on the teev.
If it is close, there will definitely be a ‘we was robbed because of that one call by the ump’ – i wonder what the bad call will be? Touched ball, inconclusive goal review, intentional out of bounds, htb ?
Can Paddy win one? Is Buddy due a big haul?
I am going for Sydney, but i think Geelong will win.

What are you talking about?
Several people spoke of their experience, a similar experience at that, and you purposely belittle this as “rumours”? Are you at all familiar with whistleblowing?

Only 2 of the 3 judges said ‘not guilty’. A jury of peers found him guilty… imagine having the financial backing and powerful influence of the catholic church to keep appealing child sex offences.
The civil action will be interesting.

You can thank Scomo and Ita Buttrose for that. Who would’ve thought a tabloid magazine editor, and conservative shill, would plaster the ABC with royal fanfare as Australia heads towards a republic.

The point i was alluding to, sports broadcast rights aren’t really impacted by controversies… just advertising revenue.
Poor treatment (an understatement) of women by nrl players has been reported as systemic.

North Melbourne and Brisbane must sack Clarkson and Fagan after Hawthorn racism revelations

Like reporting fossil fuels don’t cause climate change, or climate change doesn’t exist? Or reporting that the 2020 US election was stolen? Or reporting Dan Andrews was trying to destroy Victoria with lock downs?
Yeah, society just lets it go… but thin skinned politicians go full litigious, at tax payer expense, if they get slagged off on twitter.

Have the years of off field incidents in the NRL tempered their enthusiasm?
Sport = gambling ad revenue. The only thing that will impact broadcast deals is restrictions on gambling advertising, and you can bet (pun intended) these deals have clauses to address this.

Just curious… was it deleted, or got picked up by a filter and hasn’t gone through moderation yet? That happens to me every now and then, usually an innocuous word too. Eg. The Lions coach’s surname would get flagged.
It would be poor to delete a comment… except if particularly vile.

What do you mean the ABC wants to “compete with commercial networks”? The ABC has guaranteed funding, and provides content for viewers/listeners as per it’s charter… it has to appeal to people.
Just because newscorp, 9news media et al, constantly bag the ABC, it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t exist. If we had no ABC, we would only have reality tv, and conservative talking heads screaming about roaming african gangs in Melbourne preventing people going to restaurants.
You can thank Scomo for appointing Ita, a tabloid magazine editor, the head of ABC… 27 ppl sent to london is outrageous.

What did Louise Milligan REPORT on that was found to be wrong?
Half the LNP engaged in defamation suits, at tax payers expense, against people on twitter.

UPDATED: 'Told me to kill my unborn kid': Clarkson responds to allegations in Hawks racism report, Fagan stands down

So her tweets, not her reporting.

UPDATED: 'Told me to kill my unborn kid': Clarkson responds to allegations in Hawks racism report, Fagan stands down

Just not 27 staff’s worth of reporting. Thanks Ita.

I dunno… the bar is pretty high after 10 days of mourn porn 😛

UPDATED: 'Told me to kill my unborn kid': Clarkson responds to allegations in Hawks racism report, Fagan stands down

Actually, the ABC has a proud history of investigative journalism, uncovering many sordid activities which would otherwise remain in the dark. What exactly do you think Louise Milligan has reported on that was proven wrong?
I am more concerned about the amount of taxpayers money spent by thin skinned politicians engaging in defamation action against citizens social media posts.

North Melbourne would be scrambling to work out how they can inform their stakeholders that Clarko doesn’t have unfettered control of the football department, despite making so many personnel changes.

Forums like this are not court rooms, it is just people putting in their 2 cents worth. Yes, it can be messy.
The report has legitimacy, as Hawthorn have self reported to the AFL.
Someone who is accused of wrong doing will either deny, down play, or distance themselves from said wrong doing… i don’t expect Clarko to put his hand up. Remember James Hird pleading ignorance over their injection regime, but the club doctor, bruce reid, had expressed concern over the program?

If they were keen on getting Lobb, they could convert a high round 1 into 2 picks (Freo has done this before). This is dependent on doggies having acquired a couple of round 1s through outgoing trade.
If Freo feel next year is a genuine chance for a GF, we surely need to keep Lobb because Logue is leaving. A potential forward line of Luke Jackson, an emerging Jye Amiss, and a good target in Lobb, would be strongest forward line we’ve had in a while.

Possibly. He will know who values him more, which is good for all involved.

It will be higher than 29 for the trade to be considered, and Dogs will be able to afford it.

I hope dogs get some sweet picks to on-trade to Freo for Lobb… although, we might want to hold on to Lobb since Logue is seeking a trade.
The trade and draft season is now underway. Entertaining times ahead.
