How far can Carlton go before the clubs higher on the ladder start to mutter that the Wildcard is broken, rewarding a team that didn’t do enough across the **whole** season to deserve to play in finals? @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social

Let’s hope we get a hawks v pies final! #afl @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social How many times have the same two teams played two draws against each other in a season?

Hey, Rohan. Do you reckon caretaker coaches do ok coz they’re don’t have the club breathing down their neck? How’s Fraser going to go if he gets the job and people at the club start muttering if things don’t go right? That sort of thing snowballs fast at Carlton @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social

As a footy fan, it’s good to see the Crows showing last year means something to them. But as a Swans fan… still very worried we’re not really a contender this year despite our ladder position. (And very worried about another seriously heartbreaking year) #afl #aflswans @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social

Pauline Hanson's on a holiday with a billionaire, spouting racism and Islamophobia in a hotel room paid for by another billionaire's media empire - trying to turn Australians against one another. They don't want us fighting the system, they want us fighting each other.

@rohanconnolly65.bsky.social how about the AFL add a condition to umpire contact whether it was in play or not when determining severity of punishment? Anything not in play probably should be one week minimum.

It’s amazing, Rohan, how much this silly final 10 is going to change the narrative around success. If North finishes 10th that will be more talked up than if we still only had a final 8. In the latter case, the talk would be about the games they should’ve won #afl @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social

Trump has the PBS in his sights. Pauline Hanson is a Trump acolyte so would fully support major cuts to the PBS. #auspolitical #auspol People say an informal voted is wasted. No. A wasted vote is a vote for someone you’ve said for 30 years is bad for the country

Rohan, do you think Carlton and Essendon understand that coaches don’t win you premierships? Clubs do. Plenty of highly experienced coaches including premiership coaches have failed at other clubs. You’ve got to ask why. It’s not them alone. #afl @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social

Rohan, do you think we overrate the goals from the boundary nowadays? When #afl website showed the best goals of 2026 so far, most were those. It got boring! Difficult yes, but rare enough anymore to deserve the ravings of the commentators with words like “miraculous”? @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social

Easy fix for the McKay milking the shot clock issue. Just cut it to 15 or 20 seconds if you’re outside the 50. #afl @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social

That Dempsey non goal was EXACTLY the thing goal reviews were brought in to get right! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ #afl @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social If the umps can’t see this is such a difficult call to make in real time, is it time to give captains a review or two per quarter?

Everyone seems to forget that @carltonfc-w.bsky.social renaissance began in the 3rd quarter of Voss’ last game 4 weeks ago when they turned it around against the Lions and nearly ran them down. @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social #afl

I hate that the afl season is largely irrelevant, @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social There’s not enough reward and recognition for the team that finishes top. Give them $5m, pick 5 in the draft and a trophy presentation on Brownlow night

So… Stewart gets a week, and Chol gets none. Surely, any action that drives a player’s head into the ground must come under duty of care and deserves time off. Thoughts @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social ?

If the AFL presented “Premier” medals (like many sports do) rather than premiership player medals, missing the GF because of concussion wouldn’t be as big an issue and would negate the pre-GF debate. The messes the AFL creates for itself! 🤦‍♂️ @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social

@chojubo.bsky.social Mate! Impressive! Any chance you could extend it to support Notes and Calendar too with a quick toggle to choose which you want to write to?

Why do employers make job applications harder than the jobs? How many quality candidates do they miss because of the bs they demand applicants go through? #jobs #employment #JobApplications #bs #neurodivergent #anxiety #hoops #EmploymentProcess

2 things have made NRL SoO so successful: 1) there’s only 2 teams 2) they play a best of 3 How can the #AFL emulate that with SA, WA, Vic & Allies? How about do it over two years? A round robin one year, and the best 2 from that play a best of three the next year @rohanconnolly65.bsky.social

@rohanconnolly65.bsky.social notable that all players in the test squads of the WTC final get medals. Makes a mockery of the claim you can’t give all players on the winning team in the AFL medals, eh? Team sports everyone deserves a medal.

"They watered down their policies in order to get elected. Well, they've done that." "The big choice for Labor now is do they use the Greens to strengthen up their reform agenda in the Senate, or do they do what they did in the last Parliament and use the Liberals to water it down?" #auspol

Did anyone else cringe when Dutton in his concession speech had to tell us he told Albo his Mum and Ali France her son would be proud of them? #auspol

If you’re in Peter Dutton’s electorate of Dickson, why would you vote for him? He will lose this election & resign from parliament before next. And the worse the Libs do the sooner it will be. Vote for someone who plans to stick around for you @elliesmith4dickson.bsky.social @climate200.bsky.social

@rohanconnolly65.bsky.social You ever thought of publishing your long format stuff on Medium? Be nice to have more Aussie content and writers there. You could write stuff that doesn’t get engagement on footyology You still get some dickheads, but if you paywall, they have to pay to be a DH!
