Jeez Goodwin has been unlucky

The Flying V off the back was lauded as innovative etc then 6, 6,6

He goes and recruits Burgess and now shortened quarters are on the horizon as a mainstay.

....I only have one song in my head

We'll bring Gaff across then they'll make it 16v16 with the wing position removed.

As a spectator, short quarters suck IMO. Leave the game along Gil, you [censored] jockey.

I hate the shorter quarters too but at least 18 minute quarters are an improvement on this year.

(I assume the proposal is 18 minutes + time on)


28 still leaves room for manipulated blockbusters that will see MFC disadvantaged.

34 games or a rolling fixture

2020 was a simple 17 game fixture yet even then the AFL played with it so the power clubs got the ratings sponsors etc

Happy as long as we negotiate a level playing field. This could be our last chance.

Shorter quarters can only stay if they make it 16 v 16 in my opinion, but obviously that’s a massive change.

18 v 18 in shorter quarters is the main reason for disgusting congested low scoring this year.

We bring Jordan Lewis and Lever in and the third man up rule goes etc

I'd have no problems with this as long as we don't get stiffed on where and how often we have to travel interstate again. Perhaps an interim move towards a 34 game home and away season where everyone plays each other twice. 

Brisbane and GC should get no home games to help even things up from this year. 

Hawthorn & North could have so many games down in Tasmania that they may as well move down there permanently.

Perhaps the lower tier(VFLor whatever they call it) could be 16 v 16.

It would reduce costs and trial the concept.

The lack of scoring this year has been a real problem. Perhaps reduce the team to 21 (18 +3) and limit the rotations.

I would at least consider 18 min quarters, makes the step down not as severe as suddenly 20% of the quarter gone. Watching footy this year has felt like more breaks than anything else and if it's not a break it always feels like there's one creeping up very soon.

There won’t be a vaccine by March/April for General Use. 
Too early to make any plans

This


i actually don't mind shortened quarters

but, really, i would also not opposed massively reduced interchange allowance and 16-6 as opposed to 18-4 line-ups

ultimately, this is wholly and solely about players not being willing to take pay cuts

Edited by whatwhatsaywhat

Back to normal rounds and normal quarters. Shorter quarters this year have sucked. There is hidden inflation in this and we will pay the price.

Yeah and there may never be one, so are we supposed to stay locked down forever? 

Open everything back up and lets get on with life


Maybe we will win the spoon next year just in time for them to introduce a draft lottery and give us pick 9 

 

 (Censored)  up the game Gill Low scoring, short quarters , Holding the ball rule even the umpires don't get it . 

What other bright ideas have you in mind. 

 

 

 

Change doesn’t suit a lot of people and I’m no exception however, at face value, much of the tweaks and turns from Gil and Hocking have done close to zero in my view to improve the spectacle. 
 

The bloke’s a full blown megalomaniac. 
 

 

 

Heaps no in my opinion. McQueen above noted how we're all un-inclined toward change and so I've reflected from as an objective stand-point as possible and have come to the conclusion of heaps no. Give me back my game. 

Also - I live outside of the Melbourne football bubble so I'm not sure if it's this Browne who I'm meant to scoff at or some other Browne. ?

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
