A South Australian living in Melbourne. Passionate about the world game and cricket as a world wide game. Of course the crows are my team...

Racism has no part to play in sport. Taylor Walker should have been kicked to kerb for what he said at the end last year. But I cannot agree with the premise of point 2. To make the inference that one member of the crowd saying racist things to a player does not make the Adelaide football club a club with a racism problem. The incident is not even 24 hours old (Sunday evening my time) and the full details of the incident have not been published. Discussion about racism in sport requires nuance and for the full details to be published. We dont know if this was a member or a general admission ticket holder.
Six Points: Crows can't hide from racism any longer, and no need to panic, Blues fans... yet
AB easily. As a child growing up in the 80s it was heartbreaking to see the big three of Lillee, Chappell and Marsh retire coupled with many of the next tier players signing for the South African rebel tour. Australia did not win a test series from 1983 to 1987 (NZ in Australia) with embarrassing losses at home to WI, NZ and England during that time. AB was the captain who set the standard, that being competitive but losing was not acceptable and with Simmo developed the first generation of cricket superstars (Steve Waugh took four years to score his first test century for example). The world cup win in 87 and reclaiming the Ashes in 89 were two of his high points. If Australia had not lost by 1 run at the Adelaide oval against the WI in 92-93 and reclaimed the Frank Worrell trophy, Border would be held in greater esteem than he is now. Taylor took a great team and made them world beaters. Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting inherited teams that had some of Australia’s greatest ever cricketers. It should be remembered that when Australia won the test series in India in 2004, it was without Ricky Ponting for the first three tests – Gilchrist was leading the team. Michael’s Clarke’s character flaws should rank him quite lowly as an Australian captain.
From 1990 to now, who was the best Aussie captain?
Why not have a round robin “super eights” instead of knock out finals. Two groups of four. Teams finishing 1-4 get two home games and teams finishing 5-8 getting one. Best two from each group play semifinals against each other ie 1A v 2B and 2A v 1B. Winners plays of in the grand final. More games to watch, more attendance at the football as the best play of against each other. The best and most consistent team will be a worthy grand final winner. Call me Gil!!!
Prelims are a referendum on the AFL's post Round 23 bye
I have enjoyed the low scoring AFL women’s games. The Adelaide v Brisbane game last Saturday night was a great example that a low scoring game can be just as gripping and entertaining as a high scoring shootout.
Want a higher-scoring AFL? Tell the umps to blow the whistle more
The FourFourTwo youtube channel has an interesting take on the quality of his playing days. Worth a watch… https://youtu.be/JNhzm0U6dGQ?si=PJa8JcHOUN8XcezC
Qatar, WAGs and United hate: The Beckham doco was great, but it skipped three of the biggest questions of his career
