Sadly, what you mean is “knowingly and willingly use it”. Coz we aren’t being given a choice. Companies are implementing and forcing it on us via their web UI’s, their recruitment processes, their apps, their OSes etc. All you can do it to choose not to use it - when/if you have the choice

And don’t forget the #AFL pissweak response pretending it’s just a those 5 problem, or just the Swans. 😠

At! Someone talking sense!! The #AFL had a best games of this century and did not even have ‘05, ‘06, ‘12 GFs!!! It was ridiculous

Congrats! But all you need to do is create a home for anyone on the left. Coz Labor has abandoned the left. This Labor govt is the “best” Lib govt in decades.

Be interesting to look at it on Google Earth, which lets you see historical satellite imagery for comparisons. Tho, wonder how long before they get told not to

Could just as easily have said: “We don’t want to hold US nuclear waste firms accountable for the safe disposal of waste in Australia, because then they won’t come here” 🤦‍♂️

His greatest bit of coaching was preparing **his** team to get max motivation from wharfie time. Coz he **knew** if it was played, it would be too early, and they’d still have time. Fking genius!

Altho maybe not the wharfie time… 😬

Another GF stat… of the 27 GFs under the final 8 since 2000 (inc this year’s bastardised… um… wildcard version), teams finishing fourth are 0 of 27 for winning the flag. (And they’ve only ever made it to 3 GFs) Kiss the flag goodbye if finish 4th That’s become more than a statistical anomaly. 🤔

And the same week, for a deliberate act of violence because he was frustrated and angry, Lachie Neale gets off on appeal to the “good bloke” narrative. As long as we keep making excuses for men’s acts of violence in sport, or giving them lesser penalties, it’s not going to improve for women

100% Will be one of the all time greats, possibly even the greatest. But - I’d still choose to watch his Dad over him. Was breathtaking to watch in his prime. Changed the game.

And the bastards at the AFL have plugged the pre finals bye with the wildcard round to make sure there’s no going back. 🤬

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Prelims always deliver the best games. Surprised if the Hawks aren’t in the GF next year. Curse of the pre finals bye continues

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
And now the club must fix a culture that allowed those 5 to behave the way they did. And all the other 18 clubs (inc Tas) must look in the same mirror. The AFL has been pissweak on this. They want to pretend it’s just these 5 with the problem. The AFL must demand a cultural review by all 19 clubs

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 19/09/2026
Forget the 5 - if we hadn’t lost Mills we woulda won. That was the cruelest blow. And we had Edwards and Cunningham out. But I think we still would have needed a few of those 5 to win the GF. Can’t rely on one superstar mid in GF. If any of those 5 return, they owe us a flag.

I don’t get it. Pelican is meant to support the battler, so the biggest win would’ve been saying Albo has betrayed people like his mother. Instead she’s so obsessed with not thinking, she happily kicked herself in the teeth.

It’s just a piece of fabric wrapped in ancient myths. And ours should be burnt anyway. It represents the invasion and theft of this country by white Christian supremacists under the euphemistic flag of “colonialism”
010
Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 07/09/2026
I disagree, Monique. The right to burn the flag should be enshrined in law. It’s not disrespectful or disgraceful. Flags are so over valued and have caused so much division in the world. And now Angus is using flags to cause division here. As a symbol of unity flags are a weapon of division.

Lions were the team I feared most, other than Freo at home. I think Freo & Lions will bounce back. Dunno who’ll win the prelims. I don’t want to get to the GF if we’re not going to win it. Fun fact: under the Final 8 (2000-2025) no team won from 4th. If Swans v Hawks GF hope that curse continues!
010
Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Yep, don’t write off Lions or Dockers. Lions last year showed it’s possible. Hoping for a miracle for Mills. Btw No team under the final 8 since 2000 has won the flag from 4th. Is the final 10 going to help the Hawks break that statistical anomaly.

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 05/09/2026
Yes, but just think how many house you’ll be able to buy for nothing! And rent them out to poor schmucks for an arm and a leg.

Can Labor take off their mask. We know they’re really Libs

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 04/09/2026
Crazy that Hawks are looking really good for a seventh decade in a row with flag. 🤯 Begrudgingly have to admit that consistency makes them the greatest club in VFL/AFL history

Prob the best Lib govt in years tho…

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
As Michael Gleeson wrote, the Wildcard is to fill the eyeballs hole the pre finals bye created that the NRL had worked on filling. As always with the #AFL, fix a problem with a problem and then fix that problem with another problem.

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 31/08/2026
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

Yeah. The sooner the Gulf of America goes away the better. And I don’t mean the body of water.

All he’s done is shifted further right. It’s getting harder to tell the difference between him and Howard.

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
Carlton are the real “win” and “vindication” of the Wildcard round. But no matter how “successful” it is, it doesn’t answer the question if it’s justifiable to reward teams for having half good years. If the AFL hadn’t got lucky with Carlton coming good, we’d be looking at Saints with 10 wins
000
Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 29/08/2026
It’s manufactured to succeed. 8v9 should be a close game. They could make wildcard all the way to 18th and you’d get ripper games. Flip it - does a blowout of 4th v 1st mean 4 teams in finals is too many? The success of the games is not the validity of the system. It’s still 10 of 18 play finals

The problem with “boys will be boys” is boys **are** being boys. All of 800 of them, not just those 5
010
Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 23/08/2026
Until the 18 captains come out and say “This could have been me, this could have been my club” there will be no meaningful progress.
110
Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
The thing that’s being overlooked is this not a problem of just 5 of the near 800 players, nor just a problem of 1 club of the 18 These were not junior players. 4 of them combined for nearly 700 games This is undoubtedly a league wide problem If the focus is only on these 5, nothing will change
010
Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
But how would you feel seeing them help another team win the flag? I’d rather keep them and tell them they owe us a flag.

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

2022 I can accept. Men vs boys. But not 2024. I took last year off following footy to recover.

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
Our losses to Freo, Brisbane, hawks, cats, crows worry me a lot. Though Collingwood 2018 lost to 7 finalists during the H&A but still made the GF… and lost. I couldn’t take that again!!

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 01/08/2026
They still don’t fill me with a lot of confidence this year. An easy run into the finals isn’t going to help cement the game we need for the finals.

Chris Howard @chrishoward.bsky.social · 29/07/2026
And Pelican just offers more of the same but iced with bigotry. Greens needs to proper lift their game
