@sandylanceley And sometimes I just want to turn on the footy and not be met with reminders that women aren’t seen as equal or even worth normal human decency to some of you. Can’t have it all sandy :(
Haven’t felt this way about a team in a while. I know the year won’t always be this way (we all know it will get ugly at some points) but this team has been so exciting. No matter how this year goes I’m pumped for it! #AFL#AFLTigerBlues
"Everyone talks about the heyday, well, this is one way to get back to that, I think."
Patrick Dangerfield has expanded on his support for shortened quarters in AFL games, explaining how it could make the game better AND fairer.

Gonna yap for a second, because I'm honestly really bothered by this. I'm not even really much of a Daniel fan, but seeing this play out, you're not human if it doesn't upset you.
The more I think about it, the way the Ricciardo situation has been handled is nothing short of cowardly and embarrassing for Red Bull.
To think this is the organisation which has gone from being effectively unbeatable last year, to now being woefully inadequate in all areas, not able to even avoid something as simple as one of their driver's contract woes being played out for all the world's media to see is disgusting.
I can't help but think about it in a much more disconnected from F1 way. Imagine tomorrow morning you go into work, having no idea if you have a job next week, everyone you work with asking you how it feels that it's your last shift, and your own boss telling you they've heard nothing about you leaving? Add to that a marathon, with weights on, in a steam room, and I guess that's something like how Ricciardo feels. At the end of the day, as sad as this is for his fans, this is a real person at the middle of all this, and the way Red Bull have handled it says a lot about how little they respect their drivers as people.
The worst part is, it all could have been handled differently so easily. The Red Bull racing we knew a year ago would've either put a stop to it, or been very clear about the situation as soon as it hit the media. They wouldn't have left one of their own drivers to cry on international television without even being able to confirm if he was indeed leaving or not. It's shameful, and completely unnecessary. Daniel Ricciardo has been too important and too liked in this sport to have this as his exit.
Shame on Christian Horner, Helmut Marko, and Red Bull Racing.

I have a ticket for Dusty’s farewell game on Saturday but now can’t make it to Melbourne. If anyone knows someone who wasn’t able to get/afford one please message me I’m happy to transfer the ticket to them 🫶🏼🫶🏼 would hate for it to go to waste if someone would use it!
