  • Aussie Perspective

    Great podcast. Craig is quite knowledgeable about AFL for a yank. I’m a Crows fan since they started, but also have a big interest in American sports particularly NFL and MLB. I like that Craig refers to AFL as the greatest game on earth. It most certainly is

The hosts express frustration with the severity of the suspension and argue that while the incident deserved sanction, the four-game penalty felt disproportionate and amplified by broader criticisms of AFL's woke stance.
