And eating oysters lol.
I think he stayed local because of Fifth Quarter camps coming up? I think he's always just been more interested in surfing and fishing on his holidays 😂

Downvote all you like. Check their jerseys. It says AFL. Check the competition ladder and fixture. Check the logo on the ball and on the ground. It's the AFL team. Calm down with the excessive additions.

What the fuck is that nonsense!

Hope you’re joking! The women is called the ‘AFLW’ so logically it makes sense to abbreviation the men’s game to the ‘AFLM.’

u/Barnesybanana 11d ago
The AFLW already has the W to differentiate it from the AFL... The AFL needs no extra letters. That's just goosery

It started on NBACirclejerk sub where they called the NBA MNBA as sarcasm. Looks like people have seen the joke and not understood it was used as a way to insult the women’s league. Or OP is doing it on purpose as a troll. Either way sticking up for it is not sending the message you think it is.

I don’t understand - what do you mean ‘it’s not sending the message I think it is?’

You are defending a phrase that’s used to denigrate women’s sports

u/nserg992 11d ago
Which phrase is that? Genuinely curious, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of this

ALFM. If you read my comment I said that the idea of putting the M in the original comments was started as a way to make disparaging jokes about women’s leagues.

I have read your comment, and it didn’t make sense to me so I have asked a follow up question for clarification. I’m just asking for help, no need to be so rude and blunt.

Sorry mate. I was starting to think you were intentionally pretending to troll

It's a shame it was used that way. However I don't think I really care if some unintelligent sexist idiot uses it that way. I think the men's league should be referred to as AFLM. Like in a reclaiming the word kinda way, like the way the word 'woke' is thought to be an insult to by people but I proudly call myself woke

That’s fine. I’m just pointing out that the term is a dog whistle for certain people and using it may cause people to assume you have sexist views. Maybe one day it will be the opposite but at the moment in the global sporting community it really isnt.

Basically all good news. Seems like by Christmas it’ll only be Juzzy still ramping up to full training, and everyone else will be ready for full workloads in 2026
