What was the Lexus centre thing we refused??

Oh god no… why did you say that out loud??? What have you done???

I have put money on Collingwood to win and I REALLY hope I lose that money.

Yeah…. YEAH!!!! Lots of see you next Tuesdays have to feel pain! Thank you

It’s the small wins isn’t it?

I legitimately do not care about a cats v pies Granny. Season finishes for me tomorrow night if it’s that game.

Commentators influencing the Chol decision despite… (Someone can correct me), but if you pin both arms and it results in a concussion, that’s weeks yes? That’s what was established and written down in the rules?

This is becoming a prelim

Depends on what one ‘could’ and ‘should’ do and know. Brilliantly subjective metrics.

Wowzers what a kick

Trueeeeee. Meanwhile Maynard murders six Brisbane players with a hammer on the field but there’s no explicitly specific rule against that so he plays.

That’s the most clear cut suspension to Chol. So I look forward to him playing in the Granny.

Oh gawd hawthorn look really good.

Just watching this from someone that also missed him by a fair margin age wise… he ran at odd angles? As in he was very aware of his space and was able to anticipate which angles would cut through lines/players. Also stopping ability from running at full speed looks very evident

If it was a fair dinkum game I’d actually be interested. Won’t be anything more than an exhibition game so meh I’d like to see the All-Australian team play the 2nd AA team as that would be fun. Again though, wouldn’t be fair dinkum.

Yup. Incentivises teams to have to cover more ground with less time to do so. If you get caught out with a 3 V 1 at a ball up for example, bad luck. The umpires shouldn’t be waiting for players IMO.

Mmmmm nah I’m not about it. I’d rather see umpires throwing the ball back in quicker at throw ins and bounces. If a ruck isn’t there, too bad. I see that as stretching the field out as you HAVE TO have players get to the ball faster. No nominating rucks, 1 player from each team goes up, free kick if more than 1 goes up. Creates a bit more chaos and will probably force coaches to change their game plans a bit.

Yeah true, I guess the developing countries example was what I was thinking so thank you. IPL is completely transparent and like you said, NBA contracts for example are basically front page news. I’ve always found it a bit weird that AFL player salaries aren’t so open. I could still be missing something, but I don’t see any downside on its face to not show it. Unless…. It raises questions about how players are making the purchases that they make. That’s something that I can see being a reason to not show their salaries but this is pure speculation on my behalf.

Why are these based on estimations? Or rather, shouldn’t all clubs that are dependant on members paying money to survive, show where their money is going? I’m genuinely asking, are there any downsides to clubs showing exactly what their coaches/players are being paid? Are there any downsides to being completely transparent in terms of player salaries?

To be fair, when I get speeding fines, I’ve never had speeding in mind, so did I ever REALLY speed?

These two statements work very well together. Gay slurs are homophobic, unless the person doesn’t have homophobia in mind, when they use homophobic slurs, but also, gay slurs are also harmless words, so it follows, that homophobia is harmless. Cognitive dissonance is hellava thing.

Yeah that’s fair. To be honest any of the vic clubs winning it would be boring to me, so I’m barracking against all of them, haha. Weirdly, Giants would be my preference as well, I’d really like to see them win it, but for pure entertainment purposes I’d like to see Adelaide make it to the granny. They’re the best team in the comp to watch for mine, love how attacking and fast they play. Giants have been very up and down this year so I fear if they got in the granny against Geelong/Hawks/Collingwood, that they’ll get spanked and it’ll be a [censored] granny AND an insufferable result to me. Ideal granny for watching would be Crows V Brisbane for mine. Would be a cracker of a game. But want Giants to go all the way. Complicated stuff this finals shenanigans.

Let’s go Radelaide

As a straight white male (the REAL victim in all of this) I find it offensive that the Psych didn’t bring up how hard it is being a straight white male right outta the gates. Woke agenda gone mad.

Queensland only abolished gay panic laws in 2017. South Australia only abolished their gay panic laws in 2020. Some people on this website would call this ‘woke’.
