@KeithSmithNBA It’s not about the awards. It’s about players constantly sitting out games with load management and fans getting shafted. It’s about the awards for the players because they want their bonuses in their contracts.
English
The NBA's 65-game rule for awards has to:
A. Be tweaked considerably
or
B. Go away entirely
I prefer B. I think the awards voters did a fine job of determining if a player had played enough games without setting these fixed thresholds to hit.
English
@gabe_blessed He’s only supporting it because it benefits him. He’s not wrong though, the rule was brought in for the right reasons, I think it should stay for sure. I can see the flip side of the argument though, but I don’t want load management back.

@davisjarrafooty Stats should supplement the eyes, not be the only way to assess a player. I don’t think there’s one stat that can be the most influential but when paired with what you watched tells the full tale.
English
2018 Tom Mitchell wins the Brownlow with 35 possessions, 8 clearances, 5 inside 50s and 6 score involvements
2026 Harry Sheezel has 39 disposals, 8 clearances, 5 inside 50s and 4 score involvements, doesn’t get a single coaches vote.
That’s the difference in the way that players have been able to actually impact the game. You used to be able to impact the game the most by getting your hands on the footy the most, now that’s not the case. But… we still (myself included) always name disposals first when talking about a players impact.
Also, the most interactive part of footy for casual fans is fantasy, which has disposals as the most impactful stat because of pure volume, so casual fans are really only worried about a players ability to find the footy.
There’s no way to fix those, it’s just a simple part of the our sport but it did get me thinking, what is the best indicator of a players impact on a game? Is it score involvements? Goals? Intercepts?

@Optimumlatte69 @OMGTheMess First strike in 13 years for Victorians
English
@OMGTheMess I feel like teachers have been on strike more or less continuously for at least 30 years cowabunga 🤙🏻
English
Last time I looked teachers are on a pretty good wage
Dr Tim Read MP@TimRRead
Victorian public school teachers and support staff have walked off the job in the tens of thousands. The message is clear. Our teachers and support staff deserve better, our public schools deserve better.

@queemslander @mr_casey_lives That’s excellent for a day one know nothing
And that’s base
There’s extras

@PolymarketHoops Jimmy left because he didn’t get a max contract extension 😂 Not because of the team.
English
Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo reportedly had a rift due to Butler’s desire to leave the team.
Jimmy felt the team and front office aren’t actively competing for championships.
Now, Bam seems frustrated with the lack of direction. If Bam asks out, Miami risks losing both stars in two seasons 😬
English
@caaspeer30 @WadexFlash The problem is they only have hustle and not much actual basketball talent. Otherwise they’d be fixtures in the lineup.
English
@WadexFlash The only people out there that show emotion / energy is keshad and Gardner and guess what ? They don't even play 😂
English
Erik Spoelstra on Bam saying there’s a lack of competitive spirit and sends a message for his team:
“No, we’re proven that we have a great competitive spirit — it’s just one game before that…gotta have the consistency with it, these games are the moments of truth right now…we have to rise to that challenge collectively.”
“We’re still a game back, we need to go through the fire together and try to develop this grit…we have to rise to that level…”
(via Miami Heat YT)
The HEAT Realm@WadexFlash
Erik Spoelstra on Kel’el Ware: “It’s his 2nd year but he’s making strides — it’s not linear improvement with Kel’el or with many young players in this league. I think he’s also realizing that how this level of play has really stepped up in the last 3 weeks…so it’s not the same level as it was in January/February and I think that’s a great experience for young players to go through.” (via Miami Heat YT)
English
@ShamsCharania @AshNicoleMoss I see both sides of the coin. NBA should not reward players when they’ve missed significant portions of the season. But theres players that have had amazing seasons. Maybe there shouldn’t be a set number but can we trust voters to make that determination?
English
Cade Cunningham's agent, Jeff Schwartz of Excel Sports, to ESPN: "Cade has delivered a first-team All-NBA season. If he falls just short of an arbitrary games-played threshold due to legitimate injury, it should not disqualify him from recognition he has clearly earned over the course of the season. The league should be rewarding excellence, not enforcing rigid cutoffs that ignore context. An exception needs to be made."

@SENWestAus @TAB_touch @SENWABreakfast Cummings is clueless. If someone is barrelling at you (with intent) for no reason, you can’t penalise the guy who defended himself within reason. It’s not on Chomben just to let someone barrel him over.
English
Was Comben lucky to not be suspended after his hit on Harley Reid? 🤕👀
Scotty and Goss discussed their thoughts 😬
#AFL | @TAB_Touch | @SENWABreakfast
English
@ShannonGaitz Yeah seemed like an irrational emotional decision. The smart play (from a lounge room) was to take out Ben. Especially for someone like Simon, not sure why he let that happen.
English
I don’t think Rich was the right call here. It felt more personal than strategic. Rich is a more workable option & someone like Ben was driving the anti-returnee bus, even if you’re more hurt by a closer connection turning. Sad also to see a super fan go right before jury #SurvivorAU
English
@TheDylanHeta Yeah should have held firm on Ben rather than Rich. Look forward to hearing why he let Rich go.
English
I don’t really understand Simon being ok with losing Rich here….
All that effort to keep him in game, just to remove him just before Jury is crazy to me.
Rich as the Mayor of Ponderosa would have been the beginning of a Simon leaning jury, no?
Bye Cash Money 😭

@scepticsview @7AFL Can’t believe people try and defend Reid running in to antagonise him and then going down staging 😂 how can you watch that and hope Chomben gets suspended.
English
@7AFL But what about charlie comben flat out hitting someone's head how should that be adjudicated? Play on right?
English
Equal parts smooth-talking diplomat AND savage-tongued diva, Redemption Mark makes for fascinating viewing.
You may not have wanted to use your idol the way you did, but at least it was played correctly to devastating impact. #SurvivorAU
English
@RalphyHeraldSun Unlucky Jon. We all know you were trying to get Comben suspended.
English
No case to answer for Comben after the AFL decided Reid “abruptly changed direction” to veer into his opponent and that Comben’s actions didn’t constitute a strike
Jon Ralph@RalphyHeraldSun
Does Comben go for a hit Reid said was to his chin or was it self defence? Tough call for the MRO given angles of the incidents do show Reid changing course to run at a stationary Comben. You be the judge. Strong words from Reid on the “dog” nature of the hit although admittedly in a post match interview where he probably hadn’t thought it through
English
@mylesmkuah At the end of the day, why would these people who aren’t really Ben’s allies care if he goes home because Mark plays an idol. It’s good if he doesn’t, and who cares if he does.
English
Following that #Survivorau ep I have a hot take. I actually hate splitting votes. For the newbies, other than Ben and Rich not splitting was the right play there. If you have a big majority, you have a 1/8 chance of being voted if they have an idol. Meanwhile, a 4/4 split means
English
@Chrisvano1997 @FootyRhino What action did he elect to take, stand their while a flog ran at him to taunt him? 😂
English
@FootyRhino Hang on, so he gets off because Reid slipped? I thought it doesn’t mate about that once you elect to do the action it’s on you?
English
No case to answer for Charlie Comben from the MRO.
Here's their assessment of the incident with Harley Reid:
"Yeo kicks the goal after the three-quarter time siren and Reid initially runs toward Yeo before abruptly changing his direction and turning toward Comben. Comben, in a stationary position, moves his arms up at body height to protect himself from the oncoming Reid. As Reid approaches with speed, Reid lowers his body and high contact is made to Reid. It was the view of the MRO that Comben’s actions did not constitute a strike. No further action was taken".
English
@Shay_mie95 @RalphyHeraldSun Playing the victim as the antagoniser is crazy 😂
English
@MiamiHeatFinest @RalphyHeraldSun Since when are you allowed to punch a bloke in the head because they tried to bump you? Pretty sure players bump eachother all game but very few cop a whack to the face for it, generally thats a suspension
Especially when its a bloke 10+ cm shorter and likely 10-15kgs lighter 🤔

Brooke extending her record as the female player to have multiple individual immunity wins (8), second to Boston Rob who has played 2 more seasons truly makes her the GOAT #SurvivorAU
