It sounds like the IDF, other people have to pay for their sins. Clarkson wasn’t punished enough, so Finlayson has to pay as a scapegoat. In the final analysis the AFL is an incredibly biased and poorly administered sport and I am over it. Nothing will change, it is all the same people coming through the ranks. 50 years as a supporter, I am following Union now. Aussie Rules is a good sport, but it is the most unfairly administered code of football.

It is obvious from the AFL’s statements that the penalty for Finlayson is going to be extreme compared to the Clarkson ban. There is a simple response for this from Port fans. Cancel any Kayo or Foxtel subscriptions. If you are doing a Neilsen survey, don’t register any AFL games for ratings. Do not attend any neutral games and do not attend the Crow’s home showdown. Pass the protest word around.

I agree though 6 weeks was too harsh for Walker, particularly relative to Clarko’s punishment and given Clarko’s form.

He was a Roosters player from what I remember.

The other thing I find about this is the lack of empathy. His wife has stage 4 cancer. Would you rather that, or someone call you a nasty name? An immense loss of perspective in the World.

It was actually specifically about a person. It suggested that a person, because of their race, should be easier to beat. It was incredibly demeaning.

Though, then again, this is probably the mysterious “Edge” we keep hearing about.

Tex was different because it was a racial slur against a specific person’s known race and it wasn’t said in the heat of the moment. Most swear phrases are racist, homophobic or sexist either directly or in connotation. A lot of people use them without thinking about the connotations. It really depends on what was said, the context and why it was directed at the particular person.

I fear you’re right. The AFL loves making an example, especially when PA are involved.

It was obviously touched by Aish, but in real time it is hard to tell. It was never going to be reversed so Freo players should have got on with the game. Should the dissent have been paid? It was technically there but should have not been paid. Very similar to the Cognilio decision last year. Ultimately Freo lack the ability to go up a gear and kick quick goals like Dees and Pies. They also don’t do enough damage when on top of the game.
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
If he had a Carlton jumper they would be giving him a free kick!

Probably not a big deal, something stupid said in the heat of the moment, just that Essendon players are a bunch of sore losers and squealers.

Add Houston and Bergman as well as Wines and SPP and there is some depth there.
Footy Fix: Does the Essendon Edge not apply to Connor Rozee or something?
I think Norwood could work if they did a joint proposal with Sturt and have the double blue jersey with red socks. Also playing 5 home games in NT to make them a dual territory side.

Umpires' anti-Ginnivan bias has reached a new low - it's time for the AFL to step in
Yes, I agree. Richmond’s list really lacks young talent. Two big trips to the draft could turn it around.

Taranto has good years and bad years. Thought last year was a good year.

I would say so far Hopper is a mild pass and Taranto a win who kept you in many games last year. However, they were the wrong players at the wrong time. If they were 4 years younger they would have made sense.

They’re artistic bogans, a paint brush in one hand, a bong in the other.

Goals. The purpose of the game is to kick goals.

The real conspiracy isn’t the secret hand shake Hogwarts drug tests, it’s that the AFL isn’t the AFL after all, it’s the VFL.

It would have an impact. Anyway I am following Union now, I don’t see a point following a sport that is so subjectively and arbitrarily administered. Imagine traffic infringements where there were no set fines and the amount decided by some traffic Overlord and the fine correlated to where people live? Occupied West Bank perhaps? I have lived in Sydney for 30 years and Aussie Rules has not grown in that time. It is on no pub or club TVs. I live near one of the oldest Aussie Rules clubs in Sydney. It has 10 TVs and none of them show Aussie Rules. One of my friends works as a lawyer at a large law firm. They were offered free GWS memberships. She declined, saying to me, “I don’t even know what GWS is”. No inroads. No hope of becoming international. Will die a slow death on pay tv in the suburbs of Melbourne.
