Watching the Australia versus Sri Lanka game the other night and seeing the Aussies lose the unloseble made me think that, had that been…
You forgot the what was it 34 Essendon players , I didn’t take too much notice about how many cronnula players , but before you reply the 34 from Essendon players are written into history as convicted drug cheats , just like the sprinter and Lance Armstrong . If we rely on the AFL anti doping tribunal smith will have no problem , remember when he tested positive and the ACL were pushing for a two week suspension , nothing to see here it’s Australianwhonare the first to pint fingers at overseas athletes but conveniently look the other way when it’s in our=r back yard.
Just as an aside when the enhanced Olympics were touted , the first athlete to put his hand up to compete , you guessed it was a white than white Australian

I don’t always agree with you Mike but your spot on the games should be 6pm or later in the summer , but that would clash with cricket i dare say and football is afraid of losing the punters, but they ain’t getting any at 3pm either so it can only be a gain
The A-League's 'family-friendly' kick-off times are keeping fans away
Oh please no different to our woke captain bowling at the tail Enders
COMMENT: Virat Kohli just scored the most selfish hundred since Boycott - and he should be embarrassed
So umpires decide a grand Final, Gilligan has got what he wanted contrived results, collingwood should have won easily but is it me or did the AFL want a close game for viewing audiences
COMMENT: THAT advantage call wasn't a shocker - the rule is just completely broken, and the fix is simple
Yappie prick as well

Why is anyone surprised the two major codes have issues with gambling, match fixing anyone?
Klein should be declined chance to referee Grand Final again after blatant clangers in Storm-Roosters cliffhanger
Les you obviously don’t watch him commentating on Richmond games where his bias is all there to see, in saying that he commentates on the game he imagines he is watching , not what is actually happening, and he is not alone in that, the AFL commentators are a sorry group, take Brayshaw who is the little boy smoking behind the shelter sheds in primary school, sadly they are all crap
Dear Brian Taylor: it's time to cut your anti-Collingwood bias out

Postecoglou on verge of becoming Tottenham manager with agreement reached
Gilligans AFL does NOT get outsiders to adjudicate, He was in charge of the drugs saga and appointed an “independent” tribunal which found them innocent, later of course they were found guilty by a court which had no connection to the AFL, This was another of his “independent” tribunals , it’s all about his bonus, and why in the dead of night?
Because he flew out to Paris for a wedding, if he had gone without shutting the investigation down there was a likely hood that he would lose control of his “independent” panel.
Why does anyone think he hasn’t stepped down yet 12 months after announcing it?
He had to manipulate the outcome again, Sepp Blatter could learn a trick or two from the snake oil salesman
The AFL's response to Hawthorn racism investigation has turned me off footy
The AFL wanted this to go away , they were in possession of the report for all the month of September, if the ABC hadn’t run with the story Gilligan would have shredded it, why where the findings dropped in the middle of the night by Gilligan?
He wanted it to end before he left to go overseas , he can’t control the narrative from Paris
The AFL under Gilligan has become the most corrupt sporting body in world sport surpassing FIFA

‘Below is the reason Australia day is celebrated on 26 January
Here are the Facts about Australia Day but don’t expect the media to educate you with these facts as it is not part of their agenda
1. Australia Day does not celebrate the arrival of the first fleet or the invasion of anything
2. Captain Cook did not arrive in Australia on the 26th January. The landing of Captain Cook in Sydney happened on the 28th April 1770 – not on 26th January.
3. The first fleet arrived in Botany Bay on 18th January. The 26th was chosen as Australia Day for a very different and important reason.
The 26th of January is the day Australians received their independence from British Rule. However, Captain Cook’s landing was included in Australian bi-centenary celebrations of 1988 when Sydney-siders decided Captain Cook’s landing should become the focus of the Australia Day commemoration.
Sadly the importance of this date for all Australians has begun to fade and now a generation later, it is all but lost. The media as usual is happy to twist the truth for the sake of controversy.
Captain Cook didn’t land on the 26th January, so changing the date of any celebration of Captain Cook’s landing would not have any impact on Australia Day, but maybe it would clear the way for the truth about Australia Day.
Australians of today abhor what was done under British governance to the Aborigines, the Irish and many other cultures around the world. So after the horrors of WW11, we decided to try and fix it. We became our own people.
On 26th January 1949, the Australian nationality came into existence when the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948 was enacted. That was the day we were first called Australians and allowed to travel with passports as Australians and NOT British subjects.
In 1949 therefore, we all became Australian citizens under the Nationality and Citizenship Act 1948.
Before that special date, all people living in Australia, including Aborigines, were called ‘British Subjects’ and forced to travel on British passports and fight in British wars.
This is why we celebrate Australia Day on the 26th January. This was the day Australians became free to make our own decisions about which wars we would fight and how our citizens would be treated. It was the day we were all declared Australians.
Until this date,Aborigines were not protected by law For the first time since Captain Cook’s landing this new Act gave Aboriginal Australians the full protection of Australian Law.
This is why 26th January is the day new Australians receive their citizenship It is a day which celebrates the implementation of the Nationality of Citizenship Act of 1948 –The Act which gave freedom and protection to the first Australians and gives all Australians, old and new, the right to live under the protection of the Australian Law”, united as one nation.
What was achieved that day is something for which all Australians can be proud.
Isn’t it time therefore that all Australians were taught the real reason we celebrate Australia Day on 26th January? In one way or another, we are ALL descendants of Australia ALL OF US. So we should ALL be celebrating and giving thanks for the freedoms, the lifestyles and opportunities that we currently enjoy, thanks to the strengths and battles of our ancestors.’

Author is obviously a pies supporter , and the pies are statistically one of the most favoured teams from an umpiring perspective , along with the throw dogs and west coast, so I’m not sure what point he is trying to make
You’re kidding me: Why Collingwood should've beaten West Coast, and what the AFL can do to end unfair umpire decisions
We don’t want to lose, been there done that, we need to win but we don’t want to lose,defend defend and maybe pinch one in a game we HAD to win…..been there done that
