To fool face recognition technology wear:


a hat and sunglasses (also try growing a beard)
make-up (hair metal did it so why not?) to reduce light bounce
tanning cream to reduce the light bounce
Chuffed to have seen 3 flag wins in my lifetime but still greedy for more.

The lifetime ban on this bloke is a phucking disgrace. Maybe ban him for a few weeks, or perhaps for the remainder of this season, but to impose this life sentence is obscene. After all, it was a victimless 'crime'. I grew up in the era when the game belonged to the people, and everyone ran onto the ground at the final siren.

This is an example of the complete corporatisation of 'our game'. I hope our club supports this bloke in challenging the AFL in the courts for their over the top penalty.

I heard tonight that the penalty will be assessed in 5 years. As I said, it’s hard to take this dribble seriously when they can’t obviously police it properly.
I term the current Collingwood attack based strategy “Unceasing Waves” like on a stormy and windy day with rough seas. A Perfect Storm ☔️

I agree. AFLHQ are f-wits.

A big fine ($50k) to discourage these peanuts is the go.

Fortunately, the AFL does not have the power to make laws and fine ordinary citizens. If they cannot umpire a football game well, it is probably best that they not be able to act as judge and jury.
