Yep. Blaming the umpires gives them a get-out and then their form drops again.

'Very challenging one': AFL back ump's 'correct approach' in last-gasp non-HTB controversy... but admit free was there

Yep. My brother taught him. He’s Victorian.

Monster Tribunal night confirmed as Giants challenge Greene, Hogan bans, Eagles appeal star's dangerous tackle

Taylor Walker reverting to his usual 9 year old personality.

Footy Fix: Ferocious, fast and fantastically coached - stuff the controversy, let's give the Dons the respect they deserve

Yep. Numpty who’s not as smart as he thinks he is.

AFL News: Cameron cops ban for dangerous tackle, Lion clipped over 'crying' taunt, latest horror Tiger blow

Or maybe don’t enable people who are absolute tools. Play the ball, not the person.

Kane Cornes with all of the intellect of David Rhys-Jones. What a peanut. There’s now a power play in being a tool.

Yep. There do appear to be some levels of aggression that require further intervention.

'Totally unacceptable': AFL bans Port star for 'unprompted and highly offensive' homophobic slur

Agree. However there are plenty of the ‘back in my day types’ who think it’s a nothing issue. If they hit the problem with big suspensions and fines now, the behaviour will diminish significantly.

Agree re. Clarkson. He’s also older and has a history of anger issues. Should have got 3-4 also.

One of the great minds of the twelfth century.

AFL News: Calls for Finlayson to cop ban for 'unacceptable' homophobic slur, Port coaching change on the way

Eddie Maguire is using this argument too. By Eddie’s logic, Eddie shouldn’t ever be able to publicly speak again. He has a conga line of dumb comments.

AFL News: 'No credibility' - Freo slam ex-ump's 'spoilt brat' whack at Clark, Dees to challenge Pickett ban

He does need to be punished however his apology is a mitigating circumstance. Give him a fine and suspension, however acknowledge that his admission has allowed for a lesser sentence. This sends an equally important message.

They’re not going to say anything because they are ‘current umpires.’ That’s an obvious one.

So he can be ‘verbal to the umpires’ but they can’t return serve? Sounds a little unfair.

If others do come out and criticise, it’s very clear what will happen to them. Evidence is on the comments here.

It’s a much bigger sport than rugby league because they are prepared to move with the times. AFL grows stronger while the NRL weakens. Footy on some pubs as evidence is purely anecdotal.

I lot has changed in terms of offensive language being dealt with. The change is well overdue.

I imagine that will have zero impact.

Just bought Lola in the Mirror. What did you think?

Green stands tall with breakthrough ton while wickets tumble as Aussies crumble against Black Caps pace attack

Yeah but Victoria won the over 50’s comp …

Green stands tall with breakthrough ton while wickets tumble as Aussies crumble against Black Caps pace attack

Average over 173 from last 4 hits – he goes all right!!! I like to see people like him succeed. Not just because of his ability but he seems like a humble and well-adjusted person. We need more like him.

AFL pre-season notebook: Is this man about to fix the Dees' biggest problem?

Great work Cameron Green. Where is Don Freo? Now is no time to show humility!

On a different note, Don, just saw Cameron Green’s unbeaten ton. I was genuinely happy for you. Gee, I hope he builds and builds from here. (And I’m a Demon’s fan, so I’ll leave the other comments alone!)

Yep – about time we gave credit. Great performance by Joseph and the West Indies.

Chanderpaul may have got 100 if Australia hadn’t declared. Agreed – all speculation. Well done, WI!
