Shame they're not big enough, otherwise the trampoline company "Bounce' would be quite fitting.

 

Anything for the almighty dollar, and anyway they will need it to help fund Sheedy's crazy ideas.

More goals, means more centre bounces, means more exposure for Coles.

Enter another corporate scumbag putting pressure on the AFL to increase goal scoring through rule changes.

This on ground advertising is a worrying trend. LED billboards around the ground are one thing but you can see where they are going.

Next will be the goal square and then ....................

And then computer generated ads and crowds over the fans in the stands during boundary kicks and throw ins.

The only thing stopping open slather is that different bodies control different aspects. AFL= the playing surface, MCC= the around ground adverts and the broadcaster = whatever deal they can do.

Will it grow mould by half time?

No it will be wrapped in plastic film.

"Rule changes for 2020. A. Players will not be permitted to stand in, run through, or enter the centre circle in any way shape or form. Infringements to be penalised by a free kick to the opponents in the opponent's goal square. B. After a goal there will be no bounce.  Instead, players will form a semi circle around the circle, sing a chorus of "Down Down" and the ball will be handed to the nearest player who can say the Coles slogan the fastest.

I can hear it now....

Commentators at center bounce "Umpire throws it down down down down."

hope no-one puts needles in the turf

will one-time plastic bags be banned at afl grounds?

 

I tried to watch the Superbowl but the sheer quantity of nauseating ads/commercials made me want to smash something.

I have similar feelings when the AFL trash our culture and traditions.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

  • GAMEDAY: Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

  • PREVIEW: Richmond

    A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.
