Sideline Symbols To Revolutionise Game Day Coaching

What they need is to install a proper scoreboard like this next to or above the bench for each side. That way you can put up 4 numbers to rotate as well as any in game signals you might need.

 

Instead they've got clunky and horrible handheld signs that are less effective than the ones they use for soccer substitutions.

    Interesting isn't it. The initial article suggests the signs would most likely not be ready to give to the clubs until JLT2, yet here we are with 2 clubs apparently already having them, and obviously had them long enough to (attempt to) develop a system for the symbols.

    Which one is Gill ?

    Gill and his mates at AFL House make Max and The Chief look completely sane and sensible. 

    Or perhaps it's just that Max and The Chief are not trying to impress anyone and do not take themselves seriously.

    This is beyond ridiculous. Aside from glare you also have greater distance away from the sign and no official stoppage in play to look at the sign, nor no notice to look at the sign.

    You can see what the AFL is trying to do with AFLX but i dont know why they thought this was good nor how they thought this was good and why it was needed.

    The players are already carrying electronic devices, give them earpieces.

    Well that little initiative didn't last long.  The electronic boards have been scrapped and clubs can use there own boards.  https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/afl-scraps-expensive-led-screens-after-brief-trial-20190306-p5128q.html

    Having spent $90,000 on them there off to the scrap heap.  Pity the AFL didn't ask the clubs first.

    One would think they would have bought one to try in match conditions before they committed. Someone stuffed up bad or something more sinister.

    Can get an LED soccer substitute board for about $100. Or the old fashion manual ones for about $15. 

    Maybe next time the AFL can pay us 90,000 and we'll get what's needed, split most of the spare cash and put the rest on for a demonland bar function.

    I was hoping someone would get it. Unfortunately I couldn’t find a gif that showed the rest of that scene.

    They might be better having 4 screens - one at each point where the 50 arc touches the boundary.  Imagine trying to see the board from the far pockets, whilst trying to not let your opponent give you the slip.  A single board at the interchange is rubbish.

    Even better is to have then installed around the grounds.

    For home ground advantage, the boundary signage for our home games could simply have the symbols whizz around the ground and flash so they cannot be missed

    Wow, seriously? The AFL actually tested an idea in a practical sense before making the decision to act upon it????!!! (I’m actually impressed) 

    In most industries we talk about: evidence-based, risk-informed, decision-making.

    im not sure which of the 9 or so rule changes have been thoroughly tested, or to what level of quality, but for the AFL to not solely act on a brain fart is comforting ?

    the sooner our game is rid of Gill and his mate Hocking the better. in a relatively short amount of time they've shown themselves to be completely out of touch and nothing but a couple of muddling morons.

    I'd argue they're not out of touch @Demon Dude 

    They're innovating the product.

    Now then... I am nudging 40 - and I don't relate to all things they're bringing that surrounds the game - but they're trying to bring versions of the game to a younger market - AND don't forget that average age of players is around 23... they've all being brought up on devices, and are tech savvy... I'd argue that although you and I don't necessarily 'connect' with it - they have an understanding that the broader section of society that will follow the game in 10 years, 20 years will want shorter versions of the game with more 'insights/statistics' and grounded more with technology...let alone those who play the game themselves.

    implementing useless electronic devices that were never going to work is innovating the product is it? well I guess its an innovating way to blow 100k that's for sure.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
