If you've got 15 minutes, the video is a great watch.


He is right up there with the best to have ever played. Does plenty of work trying to keep kids on the right side.

I really admire him.


It really is a great story, did you watch the video in the link?

He talks about his family, the South Freo culture, his foundation and the impact he's had on kids in WA.


I did. Really enjoyed it. Great choice.

Wait, there's been a miscommunication from AFL House and now they've been stood down.

Stay tuned for the next exciting episode of "Whose AFL Is It Anyway?"

Where the rules are made up and communication doesn't matter.

Thats because they did nothing wrong. They actually handled it perfectly.

Listen to Nathan Buckley today on SEN, the only media person who gets it, and summed it up perfectly.

Obviously the fault of the Umpires coach at the game, but definitely not the four field umpires who caused this mess.

Someone, anyone just needed to blow their whistle. Surely that's not that difficult!

Christ, we stop the game for someone getting cramp FFS.

Why does player standing on the mark for an out of bounds free kick have to put a toe on the boundary line? :?
Never worked that out

Just like Adam and Troy, I am an identical twin. I think most would know being an identical twin you share the exact same DNA. You are literally split in half and half the same creation. I’ll never condone suicide there is always a better solution, but the loss of Troy for Adam is like losing half of himself and not knowing his own mental health journey, it was clearly too much.

Thoughts are with their family

Cause that’s where the mark is.

Stand on the mark or go back 5m.
