I love how an umpire can pretend it didn't happen and allow the goal.

Have to agree. Anyone looking at that without the sound would think it was Walker who had been wronged. Is Eddie Everywhere handling the Crows crisis management team? That was just ... you had to see it and hear it to believe it. I feel doubly sorry for Young. First the racist abuse and then the very uncomfortable mea culpa which ends with Walker being the bloke who needs support. I shake my head.

Just watching Eddie Bets on AFL 360. Very raw, he's clearly struggling with this ongoing battle.

Great bloke Eddie, he could do so much for the AFL in this area.

By the way, what has happened to Robbo?

A few weeks ago it was announced he has a health battle. He has also taken leave from the paper.

He and his employers have been very clear about not giving any details. Given the time he's had off already, it's clearly fairly serious. He's hit and miss for me as a footy "expert" but hopefully he's okay.

Have they said what it is yet? I saw Gerard explain there would be an absence. But it’s been kept very quiet.

Thanks Aza, I heard Gerald say Robbo wasn't well but weeks later it seems a bit more serious than I first thought

I don't like Robbo much but wish him well with his health

Feel for Eddie Betts. He's been the face in recent times of the AFL movement against racism and this clearly hurt him severely. If you have the chance to watch him on tonight's AFL 360, I recommend you do so.
