@ChickDill Richo 1996 vs Sydney. We lost by a point. I’ve clearly moved on.

When has this ever been called? Going to be a lot free kicks like this for the rest of the year. I expect will be ticked off by the all conquering head office

@FansAFL Remove stand rule enforce the one we used to have. Get rid of 9/10 into pseudo finals. Fix nga rules Make umpires full time professionals and publically accountable / proactive communicators.

I you could tell Andrew Dillon to fix/change a few things what would they be? Get rid of the floating fixture Bring back free to air footy on Sat The final 8 is what we want The media will publish an article on this and we will send it directly to Andrew. Lets hear from you!

@FOXFOOTY AFL doesn’t treat fans as stakeholders and then goes on to completely gaslight them.

'PROVIDES HOPE FOR OUR FANS' 👀 AFL CEO Andrew Dillon has explained the reasoning behind the League's introduction of a Finals Wildcard Round. MORE >> bit.ly/3JQlrDw

Is anyone truly going to be excited about the battle for 10th? 10th ain’t winning anything. That final round excitement where teams might miss or make it pretty much destroyed. @AFL #wildcardafl

@Richmond_FC Can we have the afl properly survey fans on the stand rule. Worst rule ever introduced IMO. Rest seem pretty logical changes.

The AFL has announced seven rule changes for the 2026 season 👀 Click below to read ⤵️ tige.rs/AFLRulesOct29

@Richmond_TT Flat kicks into a forward line look nice. Too many ahead of him at cats for role. Not sure who will be ahead at Tigers - the Don Bradman pick hopefully.

Congrats to Patrick Retchko, welcome to Tigerland! First Richmond player to have a world athletes profile? worldathletics.org/athletes/austr…

@FansAFL Wrong priority. Drop the stand rule please.

The AFL has approved 2 changes to the Laws of Australian Football and AFL Regulations which will see the discontinuation of the centre bounce & the removal of the substitute for the 2026 Premiership Season. What do fans think? Full AFL media release in photos. 📸 7 AFL

@FansAFL AFL does not ask fans what they want.

Mitch Cleary reports there will be songs played after goals in tomorrow’s Grand Final. A recent AFL Fans Association Facebook poll showed 78% of fans across the country and 77% of fans at the M.C.G did not want music played after goals. Fan thoughts? 📸 Tripple M Football

@FansAFL 4 - rules, poor umpiring, fan unfriendly scheduling 1 - killing the goose that lays the golden egg. Seem completely unaware fans are the main stakeholders that drive the long term fortunes of the game. 7 - talking tigers

How do you rate the 2025 AFL season as a fan? ?/10 How you enjoy the game overall ?/10 How the game is administered by the AFL ?/10 How your club has supported members/fans Comment on your ratings for each area and other feedback.

@7AFL @kanecornes Please get rid of this rule. Worst rule ever brought in. AFL need to get rid of all the stuff that distracts umpires focusing on everything else. Set a mark and if a player crosses it award a penalty. Defender should be allowed to move laterally and vertically. Not forwards.

"I've honestly had enough of the DUMBEST rule that the AFL has ever brought in." 🌋 🗣️ @kanecornes on the stand rule

Pod: We are back with a very happy pod, lots of exciting kids and noble vets to talk about! podbean.com/eas/pb-z9a5f-1…

@JakeNiallTHEAGE @bpeaves @Richmond_FC Doesn’t play for Geelong

Yes, I’m a broken record on this topic but I cannot fathom how @Richmond_FC Nick Vlastuin has never made the All Australian side. Tonight, 15 intercepts, 661 metres gained & 4 contested marks. Best afield. #AFLTigersSuns

@FansAFL Get rid of the stand rule. Handle ticketing internally and get rid of all these surcharges. Get all games on FTA for longevity of game. Institute accountability and scrutiny of umpires / reduce the number of them and pay them way more so they can be full time professionals.

How can the AFL show some love for the fans? What would you like to see them do to recognise the loyalty and passion of the biggest stakeholders in Aussie Rules Footy?

@Richmond_TT We need to minimise expected score talk this week. Max 30 seconds.

To put tonight in context, the bookies gave us less that 10% chance and we had 13 players with less than 50 games experience [normally after 11 you never beat a top 8 team]

@Richmond_TT You made it 16 minutes. Impressive start. Further improvement required.

Pod! Looking at preseason, TTHD, practice matches and (belatedly) AFLW offseason. podbean.com/eas/pb-smde4-1…

@Richmond_TT Look what i got for Christmas.

Attack Christmas lunch like Richo

@Richmond_TT “Opens up a speculative ruckman” 😂 almost spat on the bloke sitting opposite me on the train

Pod!: Oh... oh my.. what a night one of the draft... so much to talk about (spoiler, we loooovvveeddd the North trade) podbean.com/eas/pb-pf5x4-1…

@sirswampthing @AFL Doug wade v haw

@Collin_G_Wood @Sammy__Edmund @1116sen It’s been informally scrapped by the outside 5(cm) call that’s going on now. Just need to formalise it. Players moving all over the mark now. (Sideways not forwards)

@Sammy__Edmund @1116sen Mate, the stupid stand rule should be on the agenda. Just scrap it. It’s stupid and changes momentum of games for such a minor indiscretion.

AFL set for a rules forum at the MCG today with coaches and heads of football invited for a round table discussion on the way the game is adjudicated. Laura Kane and Josh Mahoney chairing the sit down-held in GF week for the first time. Holding the ball on the agenda. @1116sen

Is the game better now the stand rule is effectively being ignored? #AFLFinals (rhetorical question)
