@DanielMOakes The difference to me isn’t gender but play-by-play v expert analysis. There are plenty of good commentators on radio, but very few “experts” worth listening to. Completely agree though on the ones you’ve named.
@MarkDiStef Genuinely curious if they continue to look like a decent chance, will she run for a lower house seat or attempt to lead from the senate? It is only a convention after all, imagine the scenes if the GG refused to swear her in.
@scott_thompson1 Whole ball has to be out, not sold on that. More annoyed they didn’t at least look at whether it was a lasso on the wing, looked like a soccer over the line with 40 secs left. Need to see a replay.
@Addyant23 If he’d said it unprompted sure, but they asked him that outright, what else is he going to say? Butters would say the same, and he has. Whilst he’s here, that’s where his focus is.
@AaronBryans@abcsport He didn’t really dismiss it though, he said Chad threw him under the bus and let’s just take it one game at a time. He’s going sadly, pretty clear. Hate to say it but might as well get as much as we can for him and butters before the tas drafts.
@rtralphy People will criticise this comparison but it’s fair in the sense that it explains why the media has been so hesitant to call out the obvious conflict of interest.
@1116sen@Sammy__Edmund So determined were the AFL to show how seriously they take umpire integrity, that they insisted at least a couple of the panellists didn’t run errands throughout the hearing.
@XanderMcGuire7@7AFL@7NewsMelbourne Has the AFL told the media not to report on the conflict of interest angle? Staggered at the disconnect between the public calling it out, and the media not touching it.
