@SANFL APY Footy at Mutitjulu. Amata vs Docka River. Best backdrop to a footy ground I’ve seen. Well umpired Sticks Phillips.

@BarryNi43496388 @Aunindyo2023 @JaneCaro Boys at Linden Park Primary School in the 80s had the same headset.

@FOXFOOTY Only AFL era premierships should be counted. I

@timrosen35 Yep, incredible run, could have broken WR if she’d finished hard. Maybe in the final.

@AFL @RileyBev @AAMI I’m not a @HawthornFC or @PAFC supporter, but again impressed at what an outstanding person Ken Hinkley is as he took the action in the right spirit, unlike Sam Mitchell who finds a way to whinge & sook & find a way to hurt about anything that doesn’t suit him. Well done Ken!

@cleary_mitch How would you describe last night’s effort by the Swans @cleary_mitch ? Disappointing if you’re having a crack at a player for sharing an honest, rather than boring, vanilla type opinion. He was out there, probably got a reasonable read on it.

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@FootyonNine @afl Dillon = zero integrity.

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@sloppers @cleary_mitch @AFL Spot on! @afl no integrity.

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@SoundingBoardEp Damo and Hutchy, what are your thoughts about @AFL allowing Noah Balta to play for the @Richmond_FC VFL against an U/18 team. This one is about more than optics - integrity is the word that comes to mind. Wondering what the parents of the kids think?

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@cleary_mitch @7NewsMelbourne So Bailey Smith gets $1000 for flipping the bird to a Crows supporter abusing him and @AFL & @Richmond_FC happy to have Noah Balta play against an U/ 18 team. I’m sure coaches have their working with children and police check. Has Noah got his? Would @SAPoliceNews allow this?

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@FootyonNine Well said Jimmy. And, yes Lloydy, a real bad look for the game. @AFL has completely lost its way if Balta allowed to play this year.

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@Wrrtne9 @kanecornes @GorringeDaniel @WillSchofield Agreed, and also find Corn @kanecornes the best to tune into on TV & radio.

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@HarrySimmons_49 What about the Kangas? Are you off them?

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@Miss_Snuffy @bphillipsonMP Love it! Experience teaching in nth London gives me a little understanding of context & massive respect for your work. A photo of you & associated articles were prominent in my office across 6 years as principal at an inner city Australian public school. Keep up the good fight!

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@Adelaide_FC Congratulations Ned. Good luck, I’m sure you’ll go well. @Atko_2

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@AndrewFaulkner9 Uzi needs to shoulder all blame. He started the time wasting and wasn’t prepared to face up. If he wasn’t mucking around, and just faced up, Konstas would have had no reason to join in. Then Uzi tried to play from the crease again.

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@RonnyLerner Really enjoyed Alyssa’s commentary. For the expert insights and humour. Your comment is a sad reflection on you @RonnyLerner

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@LMcKirdy7 Love what Uzi has done, but, if you’re dropping one of the openers, who have performed very similarly across the last 3 tests, with one playing a key innings in Adelaide, do you drop the 25 or 38 year old. Doesn’t make sense. @ravit73 @reedy2605 @AndrewFaulkner9 @CricketAus

@argentphatsnaps @EAGLESWWTFC @PortAdelCC @SAOutbacks @ratherbeatlunch @thefootyalmanac @SANFL @SACAComps @matthewvandy @McCauleyAndrea1 @PeterCornwall1 The first time I saw him, in a year 9 PE class at Riverton & District HS, I was fairly sure he had a truck load of talent and would excel in whatever sport he wanted to play. Three brothers who were very handy at cricket and footy as well.

[Michael Bawden @bawden551]

@SANFL @Hostplus Played his first @SANFL U/18s for game for @SturtFC as an U/15. And was a jet from the fist minute. Congratulations on a fantastic career.
