@_sjblack If the AFL want to grow the AFLW, you should have been front and centre like Cal was with the men’s draft. Not on a paid Kayo platform. Love your work and I was so disappointed with the coverage on the AFLW platform

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@glbastiani - any reason the AFLW draft was so hard to follow. No live show on the official AFLW platform, only Fox. If the AFL want to grow the women’s competition, then support it. And yes I am a paid member of both men’s and women’s team. Please voice it to the deaf AFL ears

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@aflwomens Any reason why the AFLW platform did not have a si liar commentary as the men’s draft. You say you want to grow the AFLW game but actions and effort are not there

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@ByElizaReilly Hi Eliza - appreciate your reporting. Question you might ask the powers that be. How is limiting the draft to Fox helping grow the AFLW fan base? A disappointing draft coverage that compared to the men’s is a sad and tragic orphan

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

Hey @RileyBev - great way to grow the game, not even broadcast the AFLW draft on the AFL platform! Decisions like this make me scratch my head.

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

hey @FootyRhino - looks like Tom pipped you on this one. Or are you still being a sook as the Freo fan you are?

[Tom Morris @tommorris32]

As expected, West Coast has been handed Pick 2 as compensation for losing free agent Oscar Allen to Brisbane.

@7AFL @cleary_mitch Will the Bombers offer up picks 5 and 6 for 1 and xx (let's call it 17) to also get Willem? What is better than 2 Duursma's than the trifecta.

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@FootyRhino @WestCoastEagles @brisbanelions Did Rhino hear this in his Dockers tent? What a headline grabber. Donning the purple yet again

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@RalphyHeraldSun Also missed the blatant throw

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@izzywestbury You said in commentary that Beth Mooney is undervalued. Not in Australia she isn’t. You might undervalue her and if so, own it. She is a great Australian cricketer and highly rated by home fans. I suggest you refrain from speaking on behalf of Australia

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@WestCoastEagles What a joke - an out of contract undersized role player for pick 14. The club had lost it’s mojo

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@tommorris32 @Richmond_FC Perhaps you need to check with @FootyRhinoand and the two of you collaborate on a story

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@HardBallGetsAFL @FootyRhino Poor old Rhino - he got trumped with the Bolton trade request to WA. One thing to be pipped by his rival Tom Morris but now he is being smashed by John Ralph.

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@barrettdamian Funny how Mr Innocent Damian likes to start with "I am not one who wants to see a coach or player go ...." Then he goes and writes columns on how a club should push Dusty out the door and led the lynching part for getting rid of Dew Ken and Simmo.

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@WestCoastEagles Wonderful to see that Ryan Maric is now 196 cm. Must of been a mighty growth spurt. I was a little dubious about this so I went and to the AFL web site and the AFL confirmed he is now 196 cm.

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@AFLTradeHub @ClarkyHeraldSun @heraldsunsport So what - I want a Porsche. Neither is going to happen.

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@tommorris32 @NMFCOfficial Laura would do well to get this tin rattling club's requests diluted. Enough time begging - time to stop asking mummy and daddy for pocket money.

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@gettable_afl Gary Lyon is a Melbourne FC ambassador. How is it not draft tampering with his approaches to Harley and telling him to choose the Dees? If a recruitment staffer was to do what Gary did, loss of draft picks likely

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@gettable_afl Draft integrity must see an end to FA compensation inside the first round. It needs to be called out now before the FA window opens.

Trading a UFA to protect compensation is a joke. The fix - a trade will be ignored if the UFA could have got there for free.

[Jon Bennett @jonenben]

@WestCoastEagles Does that mean Jai will be returning for 2024? I note he is out of contract and was hoping we were going to announce a contract extension and elevation to the main list at the end of 2023.
