When you’re accustomed to privilege, then equality feels like oppression. 🙈
"In consultation with the Rainbow Swans, members of the LGBTIQA+ community and the St Kilda Football Club, we felt it was appropriate to shift our 2026 Pride Match to ensure the game has the positive impact that is intended." Sydney has dropped St Kilda as its Pride Game opponent due to the Saints' handling of Lance Collard's Tribunal case.
St Kilda could host Carlton in a Saturday night AFL/AFLW double-header for Spud's Game in Round 22, per Caroline Wilson. The AFL is looking at launching the AFLW season one week earlier in Round 22 of the AFL season.
Young Brisbane player Koby Evans has admitted guilt in using homophobic language in a VFL game against Coburg on Saturday. The teenager has apologised and shown remorse, but will now await sanction from the AFL. Lions statement: "The club has confirmed the player has apologised multiple times — on field and again post match. “The player is extremely remorseful and takes full responsibility. “The club is disappointed the incident has occurred, while supporting and educating the player."
Elijah Hollands is unfortunately one of the biggest stories of the night. Carlton will need to lean into the welfare component, but also offer some sort of explanation to its fans. 60% game time & 0 disposals. @1116sen @7AFL
Zak Butters has been found guilty of abusive and insulting language towards an umpire and fined $1500. Details: afl.com.au/news/1498046
Tim Watson thinks the Bombers have the most handsome set of six players in the comp. Any other groups topping Whisp's Six?
.@XanderMcGuire7 on the messaging from AFL House on Opening Round in 2027 👇 "Opening Round or the first round of the season won't look anything like it did this year." "They (the AFL) are zeroing in on a Round One type of fixture where all 18 clubs will be involved." "It will still be weighted very heavily towards the northern states to make sure they get the boost they really want."
Interesting negotiation period ahead for the AFL… The season is set to clash with the 150th Anniversary Test at the G in 2027. If the league doesn’t move the season back… we won’t see football at the MCG until the third week of the season. More 👇 @7AFL
