@jonovdp @essendonfc Let him fly under the radar, not our problem is it. Suspect other AFL clubs know, and Garry Lyon does carry on about him. Having another good game

Roberts just doesnt get the kudos he deserves. He’s getting ignored by media and supporters for what he’s been achieving. if it was Merrett, Parish or McGrath playing like this….. everyone would be losing their minds. #aflgiantsdons #afl @essendonfc

Interesting choice to play an American Quaker tune with lyrics written by an Englishman to honour the Irish, just because an Irish dancer wanted to claim a title about 4 decades ago. There's plenty of actual Irish music, some of it quite recent! @AFL #AFLDeesLions

ABC website headline: "Why oil refineries are designed not to catch fire" 🤪 @abcnews What a great idea, maybe we should design other structures not to catch fire too #QualityJournalism #auspol #Sigh

It is difficult to express the level of contempt for the @AFL scheduling a R1 "grudge" match based on an act of bigotry. It's pathetic and indicative of the #AFL bigger problems in their desperate drive for maximum revenue #Respect @abcsport @FOXFOOTY @marnievinall @1116sen

The AFLW is destined to face more crossover with the men's competition introducing a wildcard finals round. afl.com.au/news/1452069/l…

That makes 25 goalless quarters and 32 other single goal quartes by @essendonfc @essendonfcw this year by my count #Sigh #AFLW #AFLWDonsLions I think we have a problem!

@sirswampthing so far this year as a Dons fan of both @AFL & @aflwomens I have sat thru a combined 23 goalless quarters and 32 additional single goal Qs by my team. It made me wonder, what's the worst combined year for a team? (I think my numbers are right)

You know what you've done @AFL You've made the girls not want to pick up the ball with this stupid interpretation of HTB @eaglesaflw @aflwomens #AFLWCrowsEagles

Charlie thomas recognises crow player is just lying there. Holds ball to her and waits for ref. Daggers foolishly tries to get the ball and holding is called against her. Hmmm #AFLWCrowsEagles

All the @AFL @aflwomens manipulated analysis of stats in the world doesn't justify making up rules that can't even be explained until R8 or removing player's incentives to get and use the ball #AFLWCrowsEagles Making #AFL #AFLW harder to umpire doesn't help the sport

2. Crows player dives on ball, Eagles player tackles & wrests ball away, then immediately tackled by the 1st and a 2nd Crows player @aflwomens #AFLWCrowsEagles Betting the @AFL will tick off 2 "good for the game" calls #TacklingNowSacred @HarfSerious @marnievinall

Last 80s of Q1 #AFLWCrowsEagles 2 holding the ball frees. 1. Crows player (Hatchard) on the ground very quickly touches the ball, but never possesses it. Eagles player grabs ball, lifts it into the Crow's players body, doesn't try to use the ball #TacklingNowSacred @aflwomens

The AFLW holding the ball rule is off its head. No way that can be paid. But nice clutch finish from Darce. #AFLW

@aflwomens the umpiring is absolutely fucked this season. Cats Blues game is being fully dictated by ridiculous holding the ball calls. Opposition players drag the ball in and get rewarded. #aflw #AFLWCatsBlues

There are answers #AFL @aflwomens its not the umps job to "reward" anything. A foolish HTB approach may be easy, but not the best approach. Try creating opportunities to take 1st possession, control & use the ball. Especially in #AFLW where a touch more time is good

This has gone beyond a trial. Look at the HTB a few seconds before half time in #AFLWDeesDons the ump paid the free, then it looks as if he had to work out which way! I think there have been a couple of others like that this weekend #AFL @aflwomens

It's past time @aflwomens to admit the stricter interpretation of Holding The Ball is wrong and impossible to umpire. This isn't surprising given you only said stricter enforcement aimed to keep the ball moving, but couldn't say what that meant #AFL
