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.

    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

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

    What is it,   'ET'.   I don't recognise it.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
