The opening round concept wasnât well received by all in traditional AFL states.
âI get that from a strategic point of view. But I am here to represent the fans. And what the fans are saying is: âWe donât like itâ.
The AFL has banned recent Carlton signing Elijah Hollands for two matches and a suspended $5000 fine after he pleaded guilty to cocaine possession last month. He will miss the first two matches of 2024 - against Brisbane and Richmond - and wonât be able to play in the VFL during that period.

All sports have significant risks especially when it comes to collisions and concussions but to say this is exclusive to one particular sport is a lot of hog wash. All these medical people telling players to play softly just detracts from what afl is . They play knowing the risks . Shane Tuck is no different and his sister is an absolute fool for thinking that his âsuicideâ had to do with his injuries . I suspect it could have been more than that. Football is not a pussy game sounds like these medical âprofessionalsâ are trying to dictate how to run these sports.
wow so unlucky to have to miss an entire year of football this far out âŚ

You really do come up with some disgraceful comments about a wide variety of topics and this no different.
The sad thing about CTE is it can only be diagnosed post mortem. His sister is not the fool you think she is. Nor are the medical researchers, nor is the coroner. The way concussion was treated on the field until recently is frightening to look back on.
