Ok on a very very personal note, Destiny 2 is what got me into the whole social media thing, and through the community and CMs i realized i can turn that into a career. Tldr, my entire current life would not have happened without this game. That's something.

@TMFScottP The time of having mature conversation about policy with the Australian people has long since past unfortunately.

We've really, really gotta stop expecting 'no-one loses' policies from governments and oppositions. It's national-interest poison, driven by focus groups and grievance politics. We should choose the losers carefully and fairly, but the national interest *must* come first.

@marnievinall @RWBFooty I think the AFL was so desperate for this to go away as quickly as possible (pending a saints legal challenge) that they’ve panicked and done this. At the end of the day the AFL couldn’t prove that it was said hence this horrendous statement is out to get the saints to backdown

Woken up this morning and still for the life of me cannot believe the reasoning given last night. Footy is a hard job so therefore it’s commonplace to use racist, sexist or homophobic language?? Do they hear themselves?

The Appeal Board upheld the charge, but below are the reasons they downgraded sanction. Reasons: The Appeal Board is required to deal with every case before it on its own facts and circumstances. In this case, Collard suffered a sanction of nine weeks, which was cumulative to the two-week suspension he had already suffered for a strike to an opposing player in the same game. Two weeks of that penalty was suspended. The Tribunal had regard to a number of matters in coming to that decision. There had been a number of previous decisions which suggested a range of penalties for players using the term f*****t, which was between three and six weeks. However, in none of those prior decisions did the Tribunal have any role, because the AFL and the player had come to an agreement. There was also reliance placed by the tribunal upon a prior conviction of Collard in 2024 when he received a six week sanction using the term f*****t a number of times during the course of the game to several opposing players, and that he was warned about using that term. Again, it was an agreed sanction between the AFL and the player. That conduct though was clearly in a worse category than the present incident, where the phrase was said once to two players who recollected. We observe that football is a hard game. It is highly competitive, particularly at its higher levels. It is commonplace that players can employ language from time to time which is racist, sexist or homophobic whilst on the field. We observe that it's to the credit of the AFL and the Tribunal that its efforts to eliminate these comments appear to be succeeding. However, that cannot be at the price of imposing what this board considers to be a crippling penalty on the appellant of this case. We describe it as crippling because there was evidence before the Tribunal in the sanction in both hearings that a penalty of this extent would finish him off as a player of professional football. We note the following in regard to Collard. First, his previous misconduct in 2024 was more serious, and probably far more serious than the present offence. Secondly, his age. He's a young man and he's indigenous. Thirdly, his difficult background, of which evidence was led. Fourthly, the fact that the recipient of the remark, Hipwell, was not offended by the comment. Fifth, he had at that time struck an opposing player, given away a free kick and had been jostled, roughed up and verbally challenged by a number of his opponents. We've also had regard to the fact of general and specific deterrence in coming to our own view on the penalty. Ultimately, the Appeal Board has come to the view that the sanction imposed on player collard by the Tribunal was manifestly excessive. In lieu thereof, we would impose a sanction of four weeks, with two weeks suspended for the remainder of this VFL/AFL season and the 2027 VFL/AFL season, cumulative to Collard’s two-week suspension for striking.

Tom: "Fundamentally, St Kilda believe this was a dodgy Tribunal system and Lance Collard has been really harshly dealt with." Mitch: "I maintain the two VFL players from the opposition that came forward and spoke have little to gain by speaking out of school, if that's what the Saints were alluding to." 🗣️ Tom Morris and Mitch Cleary on the Lance Collard appeal

Collingwood’s back six were absolutely phenomenal. They won nearly every contest. Aerially and on the ground. Our front half? The less said the better. A disappointing night. A game we should have locked away but lacked the maturity and class to do so. Your thoughts below 👇

@PaulTassi The problem here is that this content appeals to maybe 5% of what’s left of the player base. Most people never have and will never touch raids.

I am wondering just how much it's worth focusing on updating 19 raids and dungeons with revamped Tier loot when Fireteam Finder barely works and, well, you tell me what the state of your clan will be by June Is it good to update them? Sure. But at this point, bigger fish to fry
LukeCB14@LukeCB14

I don't think we should underestimate how much content is involved in a full RaD activity refresh. 10 dungeons, 9 raids That's 19 armor sets with set bonuses. That is 4 weapons per dungeon and 6 weapons per raid minimum. 94 refreshed weapons, not counting abnormal loot pools.

@TMFScottP My understanding is that the majority of Australians enjoy and even cherish our counties exquisite beaches, national parks and landscapes. Why protecting the enviroment became the world’s hardest sell is a complete mystery.

Plenty of people are doing it tough, but if/when 'prioritises reducing emissions' - i.e. the things that threaten to cause serious and almost permanent harm - is a slur, I'm not sure what to say.

If we want more housing, we’ve got to make it easier to build. Guangzhou proves cutting red tape, going for growth, and boosting productivity can create more jobs and homes. That’s what we need in Victoria.

"St Kilda will pay a price for this, make no mistake about it. Managers will sit back and take notice of this. This is why this doesn't happen. For all the times we say 'Oh would you walk that deal back?' It's easy for us to say it, it's next to impossible for clubs to do it because you run the risk of every player agent going 'You know what, I don't know if we do a deal with St Kilda because it's not a guarantee'." - Josh Jenkins #AFLTrade

@TMFScottP Fully agree that protectionism is not the answer. But we do need to start planning for the eventuality that a lot of people are going to be put out of work by advances in technology. This has always been the case but it’s now going to effect an even wider range of industries

This is silly. King Canute couldn't hold back the ride. Neither can the unions (or governments) on AI. Yes, look after displaced workers. But don't pretend that protectionism is a valid response - it'll only make us internationally competitive and hard living standards.

I don't have the scientific expertise to know whether the ban was justified on biosecurity grounds, or if it was just a de facto trade barrier But I hope it was the latter. If it was the former, the government has done us a great disservice by caving.
