AFL 2025

not trying to be smart so don't come after me when I ask this...
If a player calls another player a f....t, does the punishment increase if they are gay?

It should decrease!

Wait.

You're saying he should get less of a penalty, for using a derogative term, just because the player that was insulted is of homosexual origin?

Have I read this correctly?

What I'm saying is (if I'm a proud gay man), it's not a lie & it would be like water off a duck's back (like any other insult)
BUT if I wasn't gay I'd take it far more personally & I'd want the penalty to be greater.

Reports that the verdict won't be known until tomorrow now.

Seems Adelaide aren't going to cop the 5 weeks and are pushing back.

Surely that's like telling your parents you're not going to your room when you got sent there, you end up there one way or another so just go.

Nah this is good from Adelaide. Push back at the AFL.

Adelaide arguing finals are worth more than minor round matches and should be weighted as such.

If?

Is this similar to getting double demerit points on public holidays if caught speeding?

Would almost be amusing if the AFL turned around and said 8 it is then

Well the exact opposite but yeah. I'd imagine they'd be saying 1 final = 2 minor round games so in this instance a 5 match suspension = 1 minor round + 2 finals making him eligible for the Grand Final they are already in.

Hey, now we think about it, you're right! He's twice as thick for saying it one week before the finals!

8 weeks for you.

[another grub]

why all the too and fro, hand down the verdict FFS

[Armchair expert]

I thought they did? 5 weeks isn't it

[another grub]

no one knows ?

Welcome to another episode of "Whose AFL Is It Anyway?"

Where homophobic suspensions are made up and half time Grand Final entertainment doesn't matter.

I don’t think it’s gone down well that the initial 5 game suspension was leaked to the media prior to the official outcome - Especially Eddie McGuire given the conflict of interest. This is getting ugly.

[another grub]

Ed will look pretty silly if it aint 5

[RB]

With stories of Ken delaying his payment over the uncertainty of Covid you can 100% say his a man of huge integrity.....many other good stories around about his character as well.

I know he didn't get the final results and it's a results-based industry but too a point i can understand why they kept him as long as they did. Genuinely great people with the clubs best interest at hearts isn't as common as we would like or think it is.

Hail the great man

Will there be riots, cars on fire, looting etc when they hand down a verdict?

Doesn’t matter what he gets if he can’t play finals. Rounds 1-4 next y, meh.

Just take your medicine is what I would prefer

It’s not that. Theres loose lips at AFL HQ and someone will be dragged over the coals about it. Again, this will get ugly.

He’ll be sorely missed, by the other 17 clubs
