No point in the AFL endorsing a Pride Game in Sydney then not punishing a homophobic slur.

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

PD, what you say makes perfect sense and you are spot on. Unfortunately the AFL is not good with “transparent penalty systems” or consistency. It seems that a simple solution like yours cannot be adopted and the penalty or explanation will be full of fluff and out of touch with sensible expectations

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

The NRL have really missed an opportunity to make a statement here. If even half of what Jennings is accused of is true he should not be playing again. Why can the NRL not make tough decisions and show everyone involved in the game that violence towards women is not acceptable or tolerated

Whether NRL celebrates Jennings' milestone or not is irrelevant, the real issue is should he have been allowed back?

Nice article Dem. A big plus for the swans this year is their depth. With 3 experienced players out in the first month you would definitely take 3-1. Longmire is big on players who can play various positions and roles. I think we have all been waiting for Heeney to be more consistent

Interesting post PD. I didn’t realize drug usage was so widespread. But please no more BT quotes. Every time the “wowee “ rubbish invades my TV I want to smash it.

Six Points: Commonsense solution to score review influx, and why this star Tiger should get two weeks

It is just a game. All the best Nics.

Six Points: Commonsense solution to score review influx, and why this star Tiger should get two weeks

You make a good point RT. But this year in gather round Swans v Eagles at Mt Barker or somewhere rural I think. If you had St Kilda v Freo take it to Wollongong or Newcastle or even Coffs Harbour. Play others at SCG and Giants as double headers to increase support. Not sure if it works but if more in NSW took notice it can’t be that bad.

The AFL didn't need to rob the NRL's house with Opening Round - it's more than big enough already

I’m not convinced the “opening round” is fair to the whole competition. The whole idea of getting northern states to watch AFL because the NRL were in Vegas the week before just doesn’t make sense (and I’m a Swans supporter living in Sydney). If the AFL were serious they would rotate Gather Round and give AFL a far bigger presence in NSW or Qld every 2-3 years.

An extraordinary win. Not many would have given us a chance when Head went early. Credit to Marsh and Carey who were both under pressure. Capt Cummins also was huge and proved his doubters wrong again. Fantastic test match.

Carey the clutch king: Gloveman's stunning 98, Cummins heroics keep Kiwi curse alive in thrilling comeback win

The upside to this years Swans will be the depth. With 3 quality midfielders out others stepped up although if Heeney stays fit he could be first picked and a big Brownlow chance. Not only Ladhams but if Sam Reid decides to play again he will also put pressure on the talls up front. McLean is Swans version of Harry McKay. Big test away v Pies at MCG but certainly promising start

Footy Fix: No Mills, no Parker, no problems - How Swans' new-look midfield beat the Dees at their own game

Have just seen that hit so if the AFL are serious that gets 6 week’s minimum. Head hit, off the ball etc. I know Maynard got off but surely our great game can heavily penalise these hits

Hey Adam, sorry to hear life has not been good brother. Keep your chin up and hope this year goes well for you and Port ( except against Swans)

Yes I agree Ken and I’m certainly not across the sensitivity regarding the NZ PM and his living arrangements. It’s also just a conversation that has been blown up. I just wish it wasn’t Usman involved

Usman Khawaja sets off accidental political storm in NZ

Garbage us a bit tough Blink. I’m reading this just like you. Yes it probably has been blown up and yes it’s political and yes it will probably be fixed. My issue is not with the political situation in this story. It’s more that Usman seems to be involved and he is making a name for being involved in political incidents . I like Usman but maybe he should stay quiet.

Usman Khawaja sets off accidental political storm in NZ

Very strange. Usman seems determined to be in the middle of a Political incident before a series.

These English Bazballers seemed obsessed with this style now. The comments that “we don’t care how much we have to chase “etc are showing up the arrogance. They also think they are the saviors of the Test Match format by hitting 6 an over. This all or nothing approach is fine in theory and will win some games but surely they need a Plan B to suit a game situation or conditions

McCullum hits back at Bazball critics after England's embarrassing rout: 'I don't want our guys to ever doubt themselves'

Agree with you Tim. Even though he is correct is just comes across as another Ricky rant. I get that he is competitive but the anger and “no one is nice to us” stuff wears thin.

NRL News: Field goal rules changed, Sticky fires up over 'inconsistency' in All Stars ban, Wigan prop out of Panthers duel

Well said Davico spot on. Purdy and McCaffery were excellent. Niners had their chances but couldn’t take them

'We're not done': Mahomes alone as NFL's top gun, promises 'dynasty' has seasons to run as Taylor Swift chugs celebration beers

While Mahomes is around the Chiefs have a shot at a dynasty. Big drive at end of final quarter to get field goal to tie game. Then winning drive in overtime. The Chiefs were outplayed for most of this game but hung on to win thanks to Mahomes.

Really looking forward to this one but I have this feeling that the Chiefs are peaking at the right time. If Mahomes can trust MVS, Watson and Rice a bit more his offense becomes far harder to defend. Kelce and Pacheco will see a lot of early ball. Interested to see how Purdy handles the pressure. Very talented but Chris Jones will be looking for an early sack

How the San Francisco 49ers have struck gold en route to the Super Bowl

In previous years Mahomes was making funky plays or 30 yard throws with 3 guys about to smash him. Even Brady was amazed at his brilliance. This year he’s more about the conservative route with Pacheco seeing a lot of ball. Kelce struggled for a while ( mind on Taylor perhaps ?? ) but in the play offs has been excellent. Mahomes will still go to Pacheco or Kelce most of the time.

How the Chiefs have conquered their way to the Super Bowl mountain top - yet again!

Really like that team Jammel

Aussies drop biggest hint yet on T20 World Cup captaincy as big guns return to squad for New Zealand tour

Agree Ace. Time for the younger blokes who are performing to be given a game. Still not convinced about Tim David. Don’t know why he gets picked so often

Aussies drop biggest hint yet on T20 World Cup captaincy as big guns return to squad for New Zealand tour

Don’t really have a problem with Wade , good bat and I’m sure he is a good bloke maybe his time is up and thought others like JFM outscored him this year. Josh Brown from the Heat would be worth a look too
