No mention of the flopping and resulting 50m penalties on the afl website despite Woosha bringing it up in the press conference

Port just stumbled over the line against the hawks after getting 14 free kicks in the second half. That’s not that strange except that Hawthorn got NONE. A whole half where port played perfect football according to the umpires :thumbsup:

That is a helluva read, a devastating story that needed to be told.

And it really does feel like the club leans on Nicky Winmar as an 'easy' story. They need to do the work and make this right.

I don't think it's nice, you laughing.

It would be nice if the people involved at the time actually stood up and apologised and the like. The club now will of course reach out because its different times and different people. Thats of course if Muir even wants that kind of apology from the actual people responsible.

Brisbane cant kick for goal which helped a lot but yeah, we threw that away without a doubt. Too many opportunities gone to waste there.

I'd say we just sign the Q-Stick and Beau Waters to one game contracts and just "tag*" him the entire match.

*Tag being kicking in danger at every opportunity and running with elbows out.

I really hate the notion of cheering for people to be hurt playing.. but I do want some comeuppance for this loving oval office and that whole loving team for that matter after Dimmas comments as well.

edit: Tiger fans on social media...dear lord. Many of them holding up the tribunal as the great bastion of good judgement. “Well the jury deemed it worthy of being thrown out so that HAS to be the right decision!” As if these same fans won’t be calling for tribunal blood in a few weeks if a Tiger’s player is suspended because “the tribunal don’t know anything!!” The best bit is seeing many of them thinking they’re being hard done by for even having Lynch sent to the tribunal. Apparently it’s the AFL our to get them - wasting their time and trying to stress the club out.
I wouldn’t mind half as much of these posts weren’t simply baiting trolls who knew what they were saying was BS. But these nut jobs believe

there's heinous fans of every club. the bigger clubs have more fans and so we see more of the heinous fans spewing garbage on social media.

essendon fans, for example, are back to sending death threats to players again (https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-08-23/richmond-dylan-grimes-death-threats-after-essendon-game/12587008)

Very lovely. They have a ton of money at the moment and kill off one of their two women's team?

Surely fielding a vflw side was a condition of getting the aflw bid ahead of other clubs. Or even the old vflw clubs that got kicked out of the competition to allow afl-aligned clubs into the league the other year.

I for one am shocked that this has happened, and fully expect the repercussions from AFL House to arrive swiftly, and severely

I'm not sure if you've read social media lately but AFL House have it in for Richmond big time. They're doing everything in their power to ruin them. Thankfully the level headed tribunal sorted this all out though

Sadly, one of the biggest richmond fans of their aflw/vflw team is now getting harassed by richmond fans after requesting a membership refund in response to richmond cutting their womens program/vflw team.

I get that people are being made redundant, but this is happening at all clubs, other clubs have (not yet) cut a whole footy team from the club and Richmond are sitting on a pile of cash, just announcing 100k members again today.
