Anton Enus: ‘We live in a time of manufactured mistrust and wilful misinformation.’ How true is that statement ? It’s not only true about msm and social media , it’s how politicians harvest votes .

Blaming Labor for the rise in ON is ludicrous. The Coalition carries that blame. The fool thinks he wants to knock off Labor and be in govt with a ON opposition?? The whole thing is just bizarre. Did Larissa get quietly rolled?

Yes you are right. He does not have a clean disciplinary record. During the 2026 hearings, the AFL's counsel noted that Neale had previously been found guilty of eight minor reportable offences across his 15-year career. Four of these were for minor striking charges.

Okay kids if your team is in the GF it's ok to come from behind, punch someone in the guts, a cowardly attack, and it's ok because it's GF week and you are a good boy. This is a disgrace and sets a disgraceful example, what does the $10,000 fine say, it was serious enough but let the boy play anyway

TAFL enables toxic masculinity and himpathy . Why did Neale get away with a gut punch ? Clean history ? Nah . He has been fined before Ginnivan made him do it ? So it’s the victim’s fault. It was just a little punch and new footage wasn’t allowed as evidence Zero tolerance to violence is a joke
