BREAKING: Islamists in Syria are lighting entire Christian villages on fire. They are going village to village and burning down the homes of Christians. Will any media outlet report this?

@7AFL No one takes it seriously anymore.

Over to you... #Brownlow

@smfcmike I remember a classic quote from a court case involving a Knights fan, when asked why he threw a flare: “Because, Your Honour, it creates a good visual effect when the team scores”.

On the topic of flares🔥 at the #NPLMVIC GF, because I imagine Preston would have felt some double standards were at play in the general sentiment arena, I would add: SIMILARITIES: 🔘Both situations (semi & final) I assume will lead to significant fines per flare thrown 🔘 Both situations I assume will identify & punish/ban key perpetrators (at a federation & police level) DIFFERENCES: 🔘Some of the projectile throwing of flares in the semi final appeared aimed at a player or players (although Juach’s penalty goal celebration in the semi final IMO didn’t help) 🔘Ironically, the Lakeside 🏟️ running track appears to add a “zone of safety” for thrown flares which will likely (most of the time) ensure it is difficult to target players (or easier to disguise the targeting of players) 🔘Projectile rocket fireworks are simply not on. No control, ridiculous velocity & power. MY CURRENT VIEW: 🔘 While in 🇦🇺 using flares in a 🏟️ is illegal, I believe there is not an insignificant safety difference between uncontrollably throwing a flare towards the playing surface, as opposed to letting it off on a concrete surface & overseeing its full deployment 🔘A flare at the ⚽️ in 🇦🇺 equals a guaranteed negative article in “old mainstream media”. All perpetrators must weigh this up before deploying, however, I suspect the majority considering letting off flares don’t care 🔘It can differentiate the environment of ⚽️ match (especially when combined with chanting & flags), but perhaps it’s only appreciated by some ⚽️ fans deeply familiar with European & South American ⚽️ culture. Unfortunately, IMO, in 🇦🇺, ⚽️ culture is, generally speaking, weak, & general public acceptance of flares being used for such purposes, low. 🔘I hope the approach at a federation level is to aim to identify & deal with perpetrators as opposed to immediately punish clubs (fines aside) with points deductions & playing behind closed doors (perhaps there can be a tiered punishment system that gradually pulls these levers & as a final resort), especially if clubs can prove they took appropriate measures & cooperated at all times before, during, & after the deployment of flares MY CURRENT VERDICT: It’s a nuanced topic, & on balance, I feel preserving the reputation of 🇦🇺⚽️ takes precedence, however, without question, the #NPLMVIC GF atmosphere was amazing. From my perspective, the real question is, would it still have been amazing without flares? I would argue, that yes, it would still have been amazing. Put your club & the game first no? 🤔 P.S. Feel free to share your thoughts 👇. I don’t have anywhere near all the answers to this topic. 👊⚽️ #NPLMVIC #AusChampionship #AustraliaCup #MagicOfTheCup #DockertyCup #ALeague #ALM #ALW #Matildas #Socceroos #TilItsDone #DifferentBreed #ForeverGolden

Can I ask a stupid question. What’s wrong with trees

@TheAEKGuy Of our 12 games we have scored 1 goal in seven of those games. A concern.

I hate to be the guy about refs. But I have questions. I am also not blaming the refs for the result. That goal should have been avoided. 1. Wasn’t that tackle on Jovic a red card? 2. There were no clear replays of the handball of Pineda. How can he not go to VAR? 3. 4 minutes exactly he waited to whistle. How so? Need to get our scoring up. MONO AEK! 🟡⚫️

@Gurugeputha @AFL Bro I thought that decision changed the game. If that decision was paid, it would have been six points difference with 9 mins left. Could have been an all-time prelim. Good luck next week, enjoy.

Three Toyota AFL Grand Finals in a row for these Lions 🦁 #AFLFinals

@MarkGottlieb Front contact, chopping the arms. Take your pick. Ruined the match.

Anyone who thinks Starcevich has got the ball here is dead set kidding themselves. #AFL #AFLFinals

@sconesbie @AFL Correct. No one can say what happens after that. The game had ebbs and flows. Was a classic in the making. Ruined.

@sutherlandexp @AFL Right o. Let’s say the free was paid & a goal kicked. The margin is 6 points. No one can say how the game goes after that. Brisbane kick a quick one & off they go again or Collingwood get the ball & score. Who knows. Hypothetical only. Everyone’s just guessing.

Well done umpire. It took an all-time shocker to stop @CollingwoodFC charging into the Grand Final. What should have been an all time classic prelim final lost all interest and intrigue after that non-call on Elliott. @afl has blood on their hands

@AFL Sack that umpire Ruined the match.

Lohmann on the line! #AFLFinals

@AFL Umpire ruined the game. Show what happened 20 seconds earlier.

The delivery from Morris and the snap on the left from Charlie 😤 #AFLFinals

@CollingwoodFC A Royal Commission is needed to assess the poor decisions against Cox in that quarter.

Coxy opened the scoring before the momentum swung the way of the Lions. Nick leads the game with 3 inside-50's, while Pez and Josh have both recorded 4 intercept possessions. We go again in a couple of minutes!

@disneytipsguy I’ve liked it at DL as a final ride of the night. Always nice finishing in Fantasyland and walking back through the castle and Main Street

Must do ride. I said it.

@FrameInOrder Just a coincidence, I’m sure.

@TarantinoWorld Tarantino and it’s not even close.

Choose one

@7AFL Did McCluggage take the ball out, before Daniher marked and kicked the goal? Looks like it.

The last time Collingwood and Brisbane met in a final...
