Thinking it'll be West Coast as per this link: http://www.espn.com.au/afl/story/_/id/17665108/afl-front-centre-carlton-blues-star-bryce-gibbs-return-adelaide Policy changed in 2016. Chocoratolo (talk) 06:29, 22 September 2018 (UTC)Reply


"Controversy"

edit

West Coasts win has come under controversy after Rioli illegally help Maynard from the contest. Source: https://au.news.yahoo.com/controversial-moment-overshadowed-eagles-win-072734682.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.188.40.60 (talk) 08:31, 29 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

This source does not state that Rioli's action was illegal, just controversial. Therefore I don't think this section is required until an official source rules the action was illegal. LeighM26 (talk) 11:01, 1 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

In The News

Can everyone please read the note right at the top of this page. This article needs better sourcing so it can appear on Wikipedia's Main page. HiLo48 (talk) 11:05, 1 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Well done to everyone who helped. We did it. And it's bloody difficult to get Australian items past the all-American (and a little bit of British) bias at places like In The News. It's a shame we had no success with Bob Jane. HiLo48 (talk) 22:49, 2 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Commentators. Why?

edit

What's the point of listing that bevy of commentators in the Infobox? It's unsourced. There are probably more commentators named in the article than players. HiLo48 (talk) 03:19, 2 October 2018 (UTC)Reply

Most of the commentators are more famous than the players. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 04:14, 2 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Well, someone else agreed with me. It's down to three of them now, and sourced. HiLo48 (talk) 22:50, 2 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
Rejoice in the experience. I was unable to find a source myself, although I knew it to be correct. I think it sets a nice precedent of only listing the hosts. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 02:17, 3 October 2018 (UTC)Reply
