The Sir Doug Nicholls Round celebrating indigenous players and culture had everything from another Brisbane Lions one-point thriller, to a Tiger Flex during Dreamtime at the G!
Yet again, round 10 of the AFL gave us plenty to Tweet about and it’s all here in another epic edition of Around the Tweets!
SUNDAY TWILIGHT

Daisy if your skills matched your ability to talk shit you might actually be a decent player? #AFLSaintsBlues

Carlton undone by the umpires for the 10 year straight…
The umpires were probably called wankers BECAUSE THEY’RE FUCKING WANKERS. #AFLSaintsBlues #AFL

What a horrendous season for Melbourne. Luckily there’s only thirteen weeks left. Kill me. #AFLDeesGiants

SATURDAY NIGHT – DREAMTIME AT THE G!
Richmond 10-13 (73) def. Essendon 6-14 (50)
No one:
Tigers fans: No Rance, No Nank, No Cotchin, No Riewoldt, No Short…. No worries.
No Cotchin, Riewoldt, Rance, Short, Grigg, Graham all for the majority of the season, add injures to Nank, Ross among others. Many, including experts wrote us off at round 2, and yet here we are 7-3 at Rd 10 sitting third. Proud. #gotiges #AFLTigersDons

SATURDAY TWILIGHT
Adelaide 10-13 (73) def. by West Coast 13-7 (85)
WHACK! Kane Cornes murders a couple of Crows.
8 kicks, 3 marks and 0.1 combined for Walker and Himmelberg whilst the player who is paid 600-700k, has kicked 40 + goals in the last five seasons and kicked 6 in the SANFL last week is sitting in the stands #AFLCrowsEagles
— Kane Cornes (@kanecornes) May 25, 2019
West Coast denied a chance to don their Indigenous guernsey, as the AFL deems them too similar for the already hard of sight umpires to distinguish between.
Really do not understand how these clash. Someone at the @AFL is blind. Also annoyed that West Coast rolled over & took the decision. We’re the only team not wearing our Indigenous guernsey in Indigenous round 😤 #goeagles #AFLCrowsEagles pic.twitter.com/FefokBg17A
— ☀️ Channy ☀️ (@ChannyBH) May 25, 2019
Why are the Eagles not wearing their Indigenous jumper!??? I know they wore it last week, but what can't they wear it again on the actual indigenous round!?? If it clashes with Adelaide's indigenous jumper DESIGN A YELLOW ONE! #AFLCrowsEagles

Cancelled my income protection insurance last week. Had it for 10 years and never once used it so I decided it was overkill to be throwing away good money on it. Going to use the cash saved to re-tile my roof with Italian marble #AFLDogsNorth

BT pronouncing 'Aliir Aliir' as 'Majak Daw' is probably taking his Australian way a bit too far.#AFLSwansPies #AFL

BT calls Aliir Aliir – Majak Daw. Cue the white, leftist, nuts telling all us black fellas to be offended.
It was a simple name mix up. Its indigenous round. Unity and pride. We are strong and dont need you to be offended on our behalf. #AFLSwansPies— TheTruth (@TruthVsEmotion) May 24, 2019
