@ghotye @FOXFOOTY 100% agree

@pacman1072 @FOXFOOTY Seems the requirements on umpires is through the roof. Higher skills, faster footy, new rules, higher scrutiny, replays reducing confidence. Kinda inevitable right?

'DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE' 😠 Nick Haynes was punished for 'insufficient intent' in this play, despite his best efforts to get control over the ball before it went over the boundary line for last disposal. #AFLCrowsBlues

@ghotye @FOXFOOTY I hope I’m wrong- the last few years it feels like umpires are going down hill while players skills go up

@pacman1072 @FOXFOOTY I mean, if bloody hope it is.. 😆 Maybe you’re right, haven’t watched as much footy the last couple of weeks..

@ghotye @FOXFOOTY Is it? I’ve seen 3 or 4 in the last 2 weeks that look similar. The problem is the AFL never come out and say anything. I prefer they admit a mistake but all we here is crickets

@pacman1072 @FOXFOOTY To be fair that’s just a mistake isn’t it? New rule means mistakes early but it’s a better rule than the general ‘insufficient intent’ right?

@AnthonyDon_ Same - especially with a little name trainer they’re the best

@pacman1072 Will bounce back out shortly I think

RANDWICK R1 SAT 🏇 SALANN – $6.50 Lads, $6.00 Betr TAB 💰 2U WIN Nice debut over 1200m. Step up in trip suits. Poor quality race. Can win. 🐎💰🔥

@SupercoachDPW @AnthonyDon_ $4.50 lads 😂 now

@AnthonyDon_ lol $7 into $5 the power of don

@FOXFOOTY Why would he go to that shit hole?

BOMBERS CIRCLING SUNS YOUNG GUN 👀 It's not the first time the former No. 3 pick's name has emerged on the trade rumour mill. But there's a couple of caveats. TRADE WHISPERS ➡ bit.ly/3O1s6gt

@BradKlibansky Dillon is the worst CEO of all time

🤦‍♂️ This will go down well with the footy public 😂

@nb_1023 @FOXFOOTY It’s what’s being asked for from Dillon and Swan

@FOXFOOTY sack that umpire or drop him that’s fucken pathetic

@reith_christian Bro couldn’t get Longchamp Lad home but knows what happened in Afghanistan- drinking again?

Ben-Robert Smith thank you for your service to every Australian. 🫡

@NotAlexRance Coming from one of the worst commentators in footy G Lyon

Whilst fan content continues to thrive for all teams, this show has become one of the worst in the footy landscape and these two continue to do it to themselves with the fan disrespect. Fan content creators keep using those microphones and keep doing what you love and enjoy!!

@BostonHawkSpurs @BradKlibansky @HawksInsiders His body work to release the good ball users is under rated

@BradKlibansky @HawksInsiders Brad would love to get your opinion on Nash. Really feel he doesn’t do enough. Spends all his time in mid field and is rarely named in best. If we were at full strength he’s not in our best 23 imo

Great to see Mackenzie and Amon back & Perez get another game. Scrimshaw “managed” 🤔 @HawksInsiders

@desb85 @ritoradio1 @JonathanHorn23 Who does it hurt?

@pacman1072 @ritoradio1 @JonathanHorn23 Kinda proves the exact point doesn’t it ? Kids in football states have got hooked on footy for 100 years without the need for goal songs. Non-football states are the ones who seem to need the entertainment factor

A column about the AFL's self-appointed disrupters who perforate our eardrums at breaks and blare music at the worst possible moments theguardian.com/sport/2026/apr…

@desb85 @ritoradio1 @JonathanHorn23 Des these are non traditional footballing states where you may capture a young family forever because a kid loves the song that a certain player kicks a goal. As a kid you just need something to capture it for you - for me it was the cheer squads you need a hook.

@ritoradio1 @JonathanHorn23 He’s 100% correct though. Real football fans go for the football itself and don’t need “entertainment”

@geras256 @PhilipProudfoot No it’s the US that starts most wars and threatens most Countries

@PhilipProudfoot Even assuming that they are threatening to use nuclear weapons, how is any of what you just said wrong? Why would you ever want Iran, of all countries, to have such power?

A country that has nuclear weapons is threatening to use its nuclear weapons on the country it won’t allow to have nuclear weapons because if they had nuclear weapons they would ‘use them.’

@S_GerardRennick OMG how long until he’s pumping oil - it’s at least 5 years

BREAKING NEWS: QLD Premier David Crisafulli is unlocking Australia’s first oil field in 50 years to help ease the country’s fuel crisis 👏

@AnthonyDon_ When you’re hot 🔥

We feeling a Thursday flutter? 🐎💰👇

@hontch @goldandbrown4 Deserves is a strong word

@goldandbrown4 Schubert deserves a call up. We should be rewarding the form. I don't think amon will be rushed back either. My early crow is Mackenzie & Schubert in for Perez & Gunston. I hope they leave Dalton in for a few weeks.

5 day break, you think Gunston will be rested this week VS the dogs, after pulling up sore on Easter Monday. Which option do you think? Dear? Debut Schubert? Chol, Lewis and either Meek or Reeves spending time up forward?? Bc if Mackenzie plays then Moore/Macdonald play forward

@ChrisBates6012 @HawkTalkPod 100% most lists still have Jeremy Cameron but Gunston has him covered easily

@HawkTalkPod Forget the ageing star narrative, why aren’t experts taking about Gunston being in the top 10 players in the comp right now? To my eye he absolutely is. He makes every single team’s starting lineup and makes an impact every week for 20+ rounds now

What a win, Hawkers! I conservatively estimate this week's podcast will be about four hours long... but even so, we're taking your questions! If you've got questions, comments, observations, etc. you'd like us to tackle on the pod, hit us up in the replies!
