Michael Whiting

I've finally settled on MY top-10 footy cliches/sayings that give me the shits. Generally, it's because they make absolutely no sense and have somehow worked their way into common vernacular. Thanks for the inspiration @_jennafulton

@tim_michell @AFLcomau They made quite a point during it they hated that name 🤣 But yeah, "exceptional and compelling circumstances" these days (ie. the good bloke rule!)

@MichaelWhiting @AFLcomau Didn't they scrap the good bloke defence Fish?

Scott Pendleubry has had his one-match suspension downgraded to a $3000 fine. His charge was upheld but the downgrade came due to exceptional and compelling circumstances (ie. his exemplary record). More soon on @AFLcomau

Episode 3! The early days of Hugh McCluggage and Cam Rayner at the then terrible Lions. Why did Brisbane go for them? Why did they stay? The drafts that built the current two-time premiers.

Scott Pendlebury will face the Tribunal regarding his one-match ban from 5pm AEDT. Follow AFL.com.au's live blog 👇 afl.com.au/news/1479692/l…

@equaldogs Form? No. Injury at the end? Not sure.

@MichaelWhiting any concern for kai fish?

A second straight loss to start Brisbane’s season. Conceded seven first quarter goals in a 44pt loss to Sydney and could never really challenge. Have a bye now and will get Bailey, Gardiner and most likely McCluggage and Morris back to face the Saints in a fortnight.

Kicking off my run with the @AFL by talking all things @PAFC & @Adelaide_FC before their respective first games in the opening episode of State of Origin on AFL Daily with @NathanSchmook & @MichaelWhiting. Written profile of Ken Hinkley up next tomorrow omny.fm/shows/afl-dail…

Chris Fagan on Darragh Joyce, who was in hospital with an elbow infection until Tuesday: "Ideally we wouldn't name him as an emergency. It’s just that we haven’t got anybody else at the moment to play key position. "He can play if we need him to, but at this stage we don’t."

With 17 players unavailable through injury and suspension, Brisbane has cancelled this weekend’s VFL practice match against Southport. They had only five listed players available.

@royslions There’s a chance. They might be waiting to see if he comes good in the next 24hrs 🤷🏼‍♂️

@MichaelWhiting So no chance of playing despite being an emergency?

Five changes for Brisbane to face Sydney. OUT - Andrews, Gardiner, Bailey, McCluggage, Morris. IN - Draper, Answerth, McCarthy, Annable, Tonstill. My guess is Tunstill to play 'tall' alongside Lester and ZZ.

@equaldogs @The_scanner_man 🤣

@MichaelWhiting @The_scanner_man 😂 diplomatically put fish

@equaldogs @The_scanner_man Nor was Logan Morris. Bit economical with their injury list, the Lions.

@The_scanner_man @MichaelWhiting he wasn't on the injury list 2 days ago

Another blow for the Lions with Logan Morris to miss the Swans clash with a small fracture in his hand.

Linc McCarthy will play his first game for the @brisbanelions since Rd 8 2024 on Saturday night. Finally back at AFL level after two knee reconstructions wiped out almost two years @AFLcomau

Dan Annable has been picked for his debut for Brisbane against Sydney on Saturday night. No.6 pick from last year’s draft has been AFL ready since last year. @AFLcomau

Some juggling for Brisbane this week. afl.com.au/news/1475456

@royslions @AFL Yeah, I should have put Noah in - that was an oversight.

@AFL @MichaelWhiting Noah Answerth should be in the mix given the type of role he plays but Kiddy seems to have his spot. Noah only real lock down defender. How bad are the chest injuries of Murphy and Curtain

Who's pushing for selection at your club? 🤔 afl.com.au/news/1474771

@NickFriedell Fouling a guy on the catch as he's off balance with less than 2secs left isn't smart for a DPOY.

One of the last things the Warriors needed on the second night of a back to back was overtime against a younger, fresher team. Cryer missed a free throw, Draymond committed a late foul -- and the Warriors have to play five more minutes.
