Im sure all players attend some sort of anti vilification program at some stage. But I’m not sure if they all go through it each year or just the 1st year players. Or how often they have a refresher on racial, sexual vilification! drugs and gambling.
I’ve no idea how who even runs them, whether it’s the an afl department or whether it’s outsourced.

If they're anything like the corporate " training " courses I've been on over recent years. Most of them are droning discussions with a bit of tick n flick answer sessions where the trainers will hint, suggest n nudge you through the incorrect responses until you finally hit the correct one that they want you to find. They'll do anything bar hand you the correct answers to ensure you pass the " training " course. Just so everything looks good on their resume and yours.

Maybe I'm old, or have a weird perspective on things, but the racism penalties better be more than 3 weeks going ahead, and incredibly severe for spectators who offend.

Laura Kane is no different to anyone else at AFL House, just toeing the company line and excusing the massive inconsistencies the organisation is so well known for.

Not making light of the issue, it is a workplace after all , but I can imagine the AFL introducing insult reviews in games for free kicks with 50 metre penalties:
"I believe the Richmond player called Charlie Curnow a c***, please check" And the game stops for three minutes before " In reviewing the audio, the Richmond player may have said "can't or c***, decision on the scoreboard". And you know how this ends...

Typical umpire bias!

Richmond player should get a free kick for being truthful!

Curnow is a "smile".

WTF Finlayson suspended for 3 games

Over the top.

Probably would have shut his mouth n said nuffin if Clarko had copped a couple of weeks in pre season instead of a pretend penalty. Sounds like a harsh whack just for an explosive moment of abuse, but it can't be done anymore, especially when there's already been a warning shot fired a few weeks ago.
AFLHQ didn't do themselves any favours or fool anyone regarding their integrity when it comes to brand protecting n arse covering. Pathetic mob went soft on serial offender Clarko n had no option but to tweak Finlayson's goolies. Pity that Kotchy won't cop anything for his total non comprehension of the effect of homophobic slurs when there's a portion of Port's womens team and the coach are gay.

Furthermore, Clarkson is not on the field 'in actual combat' where tempers can easily flare (see Freo and dissent ripp-off last game). He's under some pressure but in the box or roaming near the bench.

He's also a coach, much older and a far longer time in the game as a distinguished, celebrated AFL identity. He also has priors; not sure Finlayson does.

Clarkson really should know far better; should have learned to school himself by now.

There is no way JF should have received harsher penalties! Just another joke.

 

[yo_eddy]

Yappy’s priors stretch back to the 1980s. He’s what is known as a recidivist.

 

[Brodders17]

I see what you did there.

[Saad seems to miss any issues ... because he plays for the Bloos?]

You have to at least go near your opposition to get in trouble with the MRP.

Who'll pay the MRO tax this week?

Who'll pay the MRO tax this week?

If the AFL are trying to really *smile* us over, they'd suspend Pickett so he could only end up at 99 games at best.

I’m sure that’s coming

I think I saw nankervis raise an eyebrow during the game. Worth about 2 grand probably. I’m sure one of our players farted in the general vicinity of an umpire as well

 

[Tigers of Old]

The successful Charlie Cameon appeal has everyone perplexed.

The AFL is consistently inconsistent on their messaging.

My question is how did Elliot Yeo not even get looked at for this.

Is Yeo in hot water for this tackle?

Elliot Yeo is penalised for a dangerous tackle on Nick Vlastuin in the final term

www.afl.com.au

If Vlaustin got fined $3,750 for his tackle on Butler the week before when he nursed him to the ground how does Yeo not get looked at?

And he pushed his head into the ground a second time.

That is the classic text book dangerous tackle. Impact could be argued down but should def have been a fine. I reckon Vlas dodged the bullet most there considering his history of concussion. Could've been very nasty.

 

[RoryBaby]

Yeo also has history of this - he needs to be stopped as he is going to seriously hurt someone & thinks he is doing nothing wrong.

Sling tackle? Yeo says no

Elliot Yeo left fuming after he's called for a sling tackle

Yep, here we go.

Must protect the head . . . until . . . we decide not to.

Absolute bunch of amateurs running the AFL.
