AFL

I guess Mason Cox expects to be playing VFL next year because the only actual rule change is in the second tier competitions

There is 2 for AFL. Kick ins get an extra 5 metres and if the man on the mark goes 1 metre over it will be a 50 metre penalty. The other is rotations are cut.

There really was no choice - but at least they’ve given him some severance pay and he could go back and still play state footy to keep his eye in it.


Kylie Watson-Wheeler will be the second female AFL club president in history, after Richmond’s Peggy O’Neal.

Sounds like Playing for Keeps.

Tonight’s AFL Draft, which was held on a virtual format, started at 7pm AEDT and went for nearly 4.5 hours which must be some sort of a record. The AFL live blog called the draft “unconventional, unpredictable”. Here are the top 10 draft picks.

Doesn’t it normally go over 2 days? Wouldn’t that be a record?

Normally day one of the draft goes for three hours. 4.5 hours seemed a bit of a drag.

Don’t encourage them. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think we should encourage them. Might be an improvement on Port supporters haircuts :wink:
