"Home" team[edit]

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[edit]

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]
