The stop/start nature of Gridiron allows it to be the ultimate coach controlled game but still needs great players to successfully execute the plays , personally I hope the increasing coach control in the AFL is not allowed to ruin the chaotic and instinctive nature of our game
Changed my mind about the most appropriate Aus Day date the official gov website aph.gov.au explains how we all became Australians rather than British subjects on January 26 1949 seems an ideal date to commemorate
A wise man once told me there are normally three truths - my truth , your truth and the actual truth , unfortunately there are always those arrogant enough to believe there views are the definitive truth rather than simply there own opinion
Increasing the mandatory concussion break to 12 days is a very good initiative from the AFL this is one area where extreme caution is a must
In team sport I have always believed champion players make champion coaches not vice versa , the great Tom Brady is currently a prime example
CA certainly have plenty of cheek.Mess around with the government currently mandated January 26 being known as Australia Day and then wanting a favor from the government to jump the COVID vaccination queue
Got to agree that January 1st , the anniversary of Federation is the most appropriate date for Australia Day
Sometimes you just scratch your head with what you hear , being outraged about a simple uttering that all lives matter is bewildering as is the view that violent riots are ok if you support the underlying cause , beats me !
Observing USA currently it seems to me that basically Democracy is about freedom respect and responsibility , freedom to vote for your candidate of choice at an election and the responsibility to accept and respect that the majority may vote otherwise
The magnificent unpredictability of sport emphasized yet again at the MCG always bemuses me when ‘experts’ base predictions so much on what happened last game even professional players are prone to inconstant performance it is what makes sport so watchable
Convincing the recalcitrant minority to follow the game plan is no easy task but must include explain and sell,explaining in specific detail what is required and why,then sell sell sell that the plan will work if we all follow it,that it is an investment not a sacrifice
Great that ‘social distancing’ seems to be helping.Acknowledgement and reward for good behavior is critical.Unfortunately the 90/10 rule always applies.The majority do what’s asked but a minority lack the intellect or discipline to comply.Imagine the benefit if 100% complied.
So sad , would be great to give Quaden a hug to show we care and are on his side , but long term stopping the bullying of him or anyone else is a must
Dermott Brereton always played a bit crazy brave,he epitomised that courage is not the absence of fear(that's stupidity), true bravery is not letting fear control your actions, Dermott did this as well as any player I've seen, we all hope the physical aftermath is not too severe
Winners automatically get the plaudits but Nick Kyrgios proved last night that great respect can come from the highly skilled and desperate fighting effort that he produced last night
Sad for footy that Alex Rance has retired , I firmly believe that players get better by the generation , even allowing for that cycle of constant improvement no other key defender I have seen matches his dominating presence to control the back 50 , he has been an all time great
I agree with shortening game length,one simple option may be re-adjusting time off, back in the day 1/4’s were 25m+ timeoff,1/4’s recently 20m+timeoff but still run over 30m because what constitutes time off has grown enormously over the years,less timeoff = shorter game length
We only need to hear a little from Neale Daniher to be certain that his new book will be a thought provoking must read , the wisdom and humour under extreme adversity that he exhibits so well inspires us all to be better people. The man is a gem.
Congrats to Eddie Betts on his 300th game , doubt if there has ever been a more admired and skillful player ,that left foot banana goal yesterday was pure genius , even Peter Daicos would have been proud of that one
Been a long time since a Lions game has had this much hype and anticipation , performing well under the intense spotlight is the next obstacle to confront , overall a great challenge to have

Hot take from Leigh Matthews on 7's new online newspaper #TheNightly @7AFL thenightly.com.au/opinion/sport/…
I’m at the SCG for the #AUSvsPAK test match, during the mandatory Welcome to Country there was stony silence & sparse clapping as fans were being welcomed to their own country by a paid ‘uncle’. Read the room @CricketAus time to get rid of it after #VoteNo
Meanwhile, in Australia… So they paid her to be welcomed to their own country & she went on to berate them about being on “stolen land”…serves them right.
Please respond to the Voice Referendum with generosity and trust, and please vote YES. This is why I am. @yes23au
It would be an overstatement to describe the mood of the clubs towards the AFL Commission as one of outright rebellion, but the level of disquiet is at a level not seen for decades... theage.com.au/sport/afl/pavl…
Come and celebrate with us at our ‘83 premiership reunion next month! Tix are on sale at hfchospitality.com.au/1983-premiersh….
There was a time when a referendum was the peoples’ way of saying yes or no to the issue. Now we have a government cheerleading a yes vote and denouncing anyone who sees it differently. It’s bad enough to be lectured to but the affront to democracy is disgraceful
Hawthorn royalty handing over the number 3. 🤝

@LeighRMatthews do you speak at private functions Leigh?
@mjrowland68 @BreakfastNews I like it because when it’s being filmed I feel safe in the knowledge that all the worst people in Australia are in the one place.
Well done @Richmond_FC 👍
Congrats to Richmond for tracking down their member who made the racist comment on social media about Liam Ryan and handed out a suspension from the footy , hope it is an example that others will follow
Happy 70th Birthday to the legendary Dennis Cometti This stat is not centimetre perfect but he traveled in the ball park of 3 million kilometres in his broadcasting career for V/@AFL games Almost enough to get a four slice toaster from the frequent flyer store
Great sport is a pure language of its own. Sport that finds itself an arm of the entertainment industry (as the AFL is doing & tennis has done) has too much talk going on before it, after it, in between it. Most of it is utterly banal & devalues the spectacle.
John McEnroe: "I'm the most awkward post-match interviewer at the #AusOpen" Tony Jones: "Hold my beer"
Leigh Matthews: "Whenever I hear a that coach needs 'tactical assistance', I wonder, what's the senior coach doing!?"
