I’d like to thank the obscenely attractive individual who got in the pool next to me just now and effectively inspired me to swim about a kilometre more than I was initially intending.

This is interesting, to say the very least. It certainly puts into question how genuine any of his apologies have been.

A 22 point loss is painfully generous to Melbourne. One of our worst performances for a very long time.
For anyone not sick of hearing my (croaky, early morning voice), this was my chat with @RadioNational Breakfast on the Jeremy Finlayson suspension and homophobia in @AFL podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/rn-…
“I remember being 13 and hearing these sorts of words… it turned me away from playing the game for 15 years” After the AFL banned Jeremy Finlayson for an anti-gay slur, I spoke to @TheMikeOD - one of very few out gay Aussie Rules players - for @outsports outsports.com/2024/4/10/2409…
I had a chat to @jarrodwalsh & @MarkBickley26 on @1629senSA yesterday morning about my experience as a gay footballer in light of the incident in the last week. Have a listen here podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/mic…
A bit of “niggle” in the game is no excuse - or defence - for homophobic slurs. Kids hear this stuff. Gay fans hear this stuff. It’s not acceptable, it hurts, and it’s incredibly damaging.

If the AFL are serious about wiping out homophobia from the game, a suspension for homophobic abuse is absolutely warranted.
Tasmania AFL chair Grant O’Brien reveals talks with Warner Bros over use of the Devils name were initially tough. But things got a lot smoother when the company became aware that the Tasmanian Devil was the actual name of a real animal. @abcsport
My rental agent just hit me with a 20% increase to my weekly rent. Sydney is honestly becoming unliveable.

"The thing that struck me, they had eight players with 40 games or fewer, and five of them were in single figures. So they are trying to change who they are, evolve whilst winning." - Gerard Whateley on the Demons #CrunchTime
Today we commemorate the 4 year anniversary of the moment when a Nobel laureate articulated the collective mood of an entire nation.
@AFL Neutral opinion here but if he didn’t try to kick the footy (nothing the saints player can do about that) then it’s just a normal tackle. Surely they challenge this
@AFL three games for tackling a player while they are kicking is INSANE
