Would’ve been easy for Sydney to disqualify Heeney and the others from the B&F when they were banning them from all those other things. They had to have had the conversation. Nobody would’ve minded. Baffling that they didn’t.

Like him but sometimes 17 minutes into a Scott Galloway rant I’m thinking, is he getting paid for this?

Chris Fagan. Incredible coach. Love to know more about how he did it.

The Airport Chaplain and Slow Horses are even better shows if you assume Hugo Weaving’s character in both shows is the same person.

So what if people judging the Norm Smith were drinking. It’s just giving three players votes. It’s not operating heavy machinery.

Maybe who came up with the rucks jumping over the centre line gets the Norm Smith and a place finish for the Brownlow. Boy, did that rule bring some magic this year.

Be clear that men's violence at grand finals is a worldwide thing, not something just to pin on the AFL and NRL. We've been conscious of it for decades and now finding it's a complex thing about men processing emotion. Dr Gwen Adshead's 2024 Reith Lecture addresses this clearly.
excerpt: Cast your mind back to the summer and the weeks before the finals of the
Euros when all sorts of emotions ran high; hope, suspense, anxiety, frustration,
alcohol use soars and apparently so do rates of domestic violence. A charity call
Women’s Aid cited evidence that men’s violence to their wives and partners went
up by 38% if their team loses as if abusers expel their frustration and
disappointment from their minds onto the bodies of others. But Women’s Aid also
claimed that men’s violence increases by 26% if their team wins. This data may just
be a reminder that alcohol intoxication is one of the most potent risk factors for
violence, but it also raises a question about the absence of the capacity for joy in
the lives of men who hurt women, such that not even their team’s success makes
them feel better.

A lot of the unhinged outrage and hot takes on the Neale decision is weird as. There’s a wild edge to it all.

Four hours of deliberation should be enough to prove that there's too much doubt for Lachie Neale to miss a grand final. And before you reply to this saying it's a simple case of they've been suspending people all year for it, then it should've taken them just ten minutes then.

Glenn Peters @nightwatchman.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
That's ridiculous. Lachie Neale's been robbed. Over 300 games, no suspensions and two Brownlows should've got him off. I swear the AFL has it in for Pies players.

The front page "inevitable" Nick Daicos ad isn't cool. You don't tempt the footy dogs like that. And you don't call a win before it's won. Hubris sucks.

Here's the thing... THE UMPIRE IS ALWAYS RIGHT. Even if they aren't. People carry on about old fashioned values but they want to ignore that one.

When you’re at the footy and you see a moustached influencer wannabe contenting at his phone instead of singing the song, you wanna jump across the rows of seats and throw that phone onto the ground.

Turned on the TV to watch some commercials and a game of NFL broke out.

Glenn Peters @nightwatchman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Footy influencers putting jumpers on players from other clubs with AI for every trade rumor are doing my head in. It’s so naff, annoying and unimaginative.
010
Glenn Peters @nightwatchman.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Geez, ABC radio has taken in way too much about this NFL game. I mean, mentioning the corporate activations outside the casino is a bit off too. I was under the impression it was a non commercial network.

Don’t diss someone saying they’re a Luddite before doing your reading about the Luddites, the swing riots or even Lord Byron’s speeches to parliament about all this. Also a bunch of these people were sent to Australia and were big parts of forming our democracy so yeah, Ned Ludd was a cool dude/s.

Strange that the fact that North have one of the greatest teams ever to play the game in their women's team right now has been ignored in the coverage of Clarkson's sacking. The W team has shown that the club knows how to do success - it's just that success hasn't made its way into the men's rooms.

Glenn Peters @nightwatchman.bsky.social · 03/09/2026
Funny to see all these anti woke, anti empathy, anti woman, bozos feelings hurt by how the sacking of a football coach was handled. Same people call for people they don't like be sacked and dragged through the streets every day. Logic ain't their mate.

Again, no Gerald Murnane themed costumes at this year’s primary school book week parade. Disappointing.

If the footy media really cared about women, they’d cover the AFLW properly. Barely a mention of round one last week and round two this week. This week of any weeks has been a chance to make a real change to behavior.

Glenn Peters @nightwatchman.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
1/3 The huge shortfall in sports media is that they never dedicate time to things that are intrinsically connected like violence on women.

Glenn Peters @nightwatchman.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
You'd think last night, of all nights, the footy shows on TV and radio would at least try to cover round one of the AFLW that happened on the weekend.
