Anyone who questioned Alex Carey for both his keeping and batting abilities has been firmly silenced this summer. #AUSvsSA

It's very rare that lack of land is problem with parks in Melbourne, it's almost always lack of council investment in the available land. Every second street has a poorly maintained park. Golf courses are an easy target because they are already well developed.

Geez Piers must be seething he woke up in the wee hours to watch women’s football after that final.

Goodbye Crows Twitter for 2023. Season over after a number of miserable performances. Hopefully we learn and are better for it in 2024.

A childhood friend of mine, a professor in the US has, I think, got it absolutely right on this Bairstow issue: "I figured it out!!!! I cracked the Hypocrisy code You have to invoke the 'Laws' of Cricket when the decision is 'IN your favour' You have to invoke the 'Spirit' of…

So let me get this straight - Damo reckons Soligo deserves a week for poking the goal umpire yet is ‘sympathetic’ to Lynch who bumped and concussed Keath? Right.

AFL pundits couldn’t help themselves last week acting as judge, jury and executioner for Shane McAdam. Broad actually knocks a bloke out with a dangerous tackle this week and now they seem to have lost their voice?

To state the obvious if Broad gets less than McAdam then the system is massively broken. #AFLCrowsTigers

Anyone who cries that Langer should still be coach is clearly forgetting that he kept Khawaja in cricket purgatory for years, at a time when we were screaming for a reliable opener.

Mat Ryan has put our defence under so much unnecessary pressure tonight. Should not be starting #FIFAWorldCup

Close call on La Trobe this morning. Bike lane out of action, cars leaving no gap, try to squeeze through and hooked the barrier mesh from the construction works on my pedal and only just managed to save it. Might avoid in future.

How is it that AFL press conferences still feel like you're listening to one side of a phone call. Is it that hard to get a mic on those asking questions? #AFL

I’m no monarchist but surely one only needs look at the UK and the Brexit to see the effects of rushing through an ill-advised nationalist agenda.

RIP @hasumpstuffedup’s mentions after this Freo/Dogs game. Dockers can’t buy a free kick at the moment #AFLFreoDogs

The main takeaways from the #AFLBluesPies game are - 1. How did Ash Johnson go undrafted for so long and 2. I would do bad things to get Brayden Maynard on the Crows list.

Anyone from Crows Twitter who has called for Keays’ omission over the past 5 or 6 weeks I hope this game finally silences that discussion. #AFLCrowsBlues

Always been a massive fan of Brodie Smith but am I the only one who can’t remember seeing him hit a long range target this year? Seems to just blaze away invariably turning it over. #AFLCrowsBlues

I love that the Essendon-North rivalry is essentially like the teacher asked everyone to pair up, Collingwood calls dibs on Carlton, Hawthorn on Geelong, Essendon are looking around frantically then turn around and see us waiting and think oh god I'm stuck with them again

*Middle aged, white conservatives when Kap was taking a knee* - "stop making sport political!" *Also middle aged, white conservatives* - "the PGA needs to take a stand against the Saudi government!" Pick a side fellas.

Can someone please enlighten me why the majority of AFL media are against either the red card or sin-binning of a player for particularly egregious acts on the field? Seems like a fair consequence and in most cases (read: Stewart/Prestia) a penalty seems self-evident.
