@codeaflau They've completely taking him out of context to create a story, the state of AFL journalism i guess. Never mentioned changing the site of the grand final, just said that its impossible to have an entirely even competition and gave that is one of the examples.
English
John Longmire has called on the AFL to consider moving the grand final from the MCG in the future.
The Swans coach even suggesting there might be a different reigning premier if the grand final wasn't played at the MCG. 👀

The Age of Legends, a live-action The Wheel of Time origin film, is in the works with The Falcon and the Winter Soldier's Kari Skogland on board to direct. bit.ly/46Yqqrt

@JRKenneally @RalphyHeraldSun @FOXFOOTY Barrassi saved the swans twice, first floating the idea of moving south Melbourne and offering to coach them in sydney. The second time he coached in the early 90s when we were a basket case.
English
@RalphyHeraldSun @FOXFOOTY No offence to Ron Barrassi, whom I totally respect, but is there any acknowledgement of football outside of Victoria in any of the AFL awards and medals?
Seriously, it's like WA, Tasmanian and SA football never existed.
It's meant to be a national competition.
English
The AFL is leaning in the direction of commemorating Ron Barassi by putting his name to premiership medals rather than the cup. So the 23 winners would take home a Barassi 🥇The league is working through it with his family but believes it would be fitting @FOXFOOTY #OnTheCouch

@DanielBGreene Setting my expectations super low so I won’t feel betrayed again.

@DryburghTom @1116sen Bit of a stretch to blame this on gil, its more of an issue with hawthorns governance. Releasing/leaking that report without giving all parties a right of reply was always going to be a mess.
English
@1116sen This process has now been going for 8 months. There is no end in sight. All that has been achieved is that dozens of lawyers have made millions. Yet another debacle on McLachlan’s watch. Shut it down.
English
“They haven’t been investigated at all.” 😳
Alastair Clarkson has lashed out at the Hawthorn Football Club and the chairperson of the AFL's independent panel investigating historical racism claims.

@natasem150 @Thomo_Grant I haven’t seen the Bolton 50m but let’s say it’s a bad decision, isn’t it better to not make another bad decision or do you want the umpires to repeat their mistakes for consistency’s sake?
English
@Swannys2012 @Thomo_Grant You cannot just pull "commonsense" out your arse when you have no idea or to scared to make a decision. where was the commonsense when Bolton was running into goals last week with 70 thousands screaming fans and gave a 50 away cause he didn't hear the whistle 50m away
English
None of that is debatable. This is just a question of due process. Was it a mistake? Albeit under the circumstances very under stable OR was it commonsense? Frankly I don’t care because it’s all over the ship at the moment and unexplainable. I just like knowing what the rules are
Chris Stanton@Swannys2012
@Thomo_Grant Does it change your opinion knowing that the non-controlling umpire paid the free kick? Everyone at that contest didn’t react to a whistle and richo who was at the boundary right near where the ball went out didn’t hear the whistle.

I’m hearing “commonsense” being used as an excuse for the decision last night. That’s fantastic. If AFL have found a “commonsense card” perhaps they could play it or use it during the f%#*^~- game!!!! We look forward to commonsense being applied to all contests in future. 👏👏👏
English
@Thomo_Grant Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Melbourne criticized for playing a game at Alice Springs a few years ago? They are scheduled to play there again this year too.
English
Absolutely not! They are bonus driven CEO’s trying to balance books and appease Boards who think that’s more important than premierships
Mick J@MickJ75671751
@Thomo_Grant as you say some teams just play AFL while a small few focus on winning premierships. Do those wanting to win flags sell off home games? #AFLSaintsPower
English
@BrownAjahB I can’t be the only one that thinks they spent a lot of the finite time given to them poorly. Specifically in the last 4 episodes.
English
I feel like most of the problems with #TheWheelOfTime are because Amazon pushed their general analytics on it. Yeam Amazon, maybe shows with 8x1h episodes do better in general. You know what also does better? Better shows! And WoT would absolutely be a better show with more time.
English
@minaviendha @blaugranaana I’d change the Tinkers in the mist to Elyas with wolves. But yeah ep3 felt the most like wheel of time to me.
English
@ggDoA Some book scenes would not translate to screen very well like moiraine growing massive and stepping over the wall at baerlon. But some scenes are made for tv like Perrin avenging hopper, Rand at tarwin’s gap, the best prologue in fantasy.
English
@ggDoA I don’t have any issues with them making changes to the story to suit a different media, I’ve got an issue when it’s done poorly. All the fake out death scenes and Mary Sue Nyneave and Egwene are cringe. Not to mention what they did to Perrin.
English
It's so disappointing that the only thing the Wheel of Time show has in common with the books are the names of the characters. Imagine the sheer hubris of thinking you can just re-write the story completely and think you'll do a better job than the author. Verdict - You didn't.
English
@RationalNerd It’s almost like people can have different opinions. I mean Stepin is a cool character with a good arc but I would have preferred to spend more time with Loial or Perrin and Egwene.
English
@rogueAelfinn Would be my favourite episode if it wasn't for the copious amount of screen time given to Stepin's Storyline.
English
On a scale of 1-4 (4 being the highest), how would you rate #TheWheelOfTime 105: Blood Calls Blood? #PAFO
English
@ggDoA @TheWheelOfTime Why do you think they are doing Perrin so hard? Giving him that sort of trauma and then not having Elyas to guide him seems like a mistake.
English
Episode 4 of @TheWheelOfTime was my favorite so far. Still wish we had something closer to the book in tone, but I'm getting used to each scene being built from multiple book scenes.
English
@AfroVII There is skyscrapers covered in foliage in one of the first scenes of the show, the characters from the show and book have little knowledge of our age.
English
@Swannys2012 Apparently. Except unless you've read the book, how would you know that?
English
I don't like fantasies with different ethnicities without context. In ASoIAF, the people are different because they're from different parts of the world, with their own cultures and languages.
I like representation with a purpose, not just for lip service. #TheWheelOfTime
