  1. Agreed. But umpires have always been abused. It’s part of the game!!
  2. Absolutely 100% If AFLX is the long term future of the game, i will be glad to be Six Feet Under. The main problem with the AFL now is that they give the game no time to breath, 2-3 rule changes are enforced at the same time and we have to live with it. But the main modern rule that has changed the game the most, interchange rotations remains. It is still a “good” game, but when CHF’s and CHB’s went into battle for an afternoon, that was Aussie Rules as a highly original and tough game
  3. I have never questioned that the clubs are not a business now. Players get paid but the game of Australian Rules Football is not what it was, and i consider that a shame. It has always been popular to the extreme because of it’s differences. These differences should be promoted, not diluted The people who run the AFL are mere custodians of the game for a short while, are driven now to change the game yearly, so we have something that is vastly different to what it was AFLX will become a hybrid Soccer Competition, is that necessary? I say no
  4. What are you talking about? i think you are losing the plot mate. Your arguements are like Swiss Cheese Dr. Seriously i am not an old Kevin Bartlett, but i am looking at what the AFL has done and is doing to the game It is unrecognisable to what i watched 25-30 years ago The AFL are swimming in money, but most clubs are in debt. You keep telling us this is a good thing. In 1970 121,000 people rocked up to the Grand Final and you could hear the cheer squads face off at one another from Richmond Station. As a 7 year old i have never forgotten that noise Now it’s loud cheap music and betting ads that are so loud
  5. They do now...!
  6. More time to spend on his fishing show What a shame....
  7. Jeelong v The Syringes Hate v Hate Nup. The sun is out any injuries feel free to elaborate
  8. Was it the same one from last year!!
  9. Straight swap Watts,J. For Fritsch,B. I can live with that. Bayley has racked up more hard ball gets in 2 practise games than Wattsy got in 9 years. Wattsy was a beautiful kick, the rest of his game never got past average. When he looks back at it all in 30 years he will agree.
  10. No, it was the post season plan. It got done
  11. The deal was done early, Lever in. Watts out it was just a matter of who would sign the exit contract i was told about it week 1 of the finals.
  12. i was being diplomatic
  13. Quality not Quantity Steve how often did Jack W give 100% out on the ground in the Red and Blue? people were shocked if he laid a tackle, lovely guy. But he had a free ride at the MFC
  14. Yes, but the major point is that the AFL will not put money into Tassie. They don’t need to. The support for footy is already there. Queensland and GW$$ must be cracked open so the Tax Free AFL can swim in more ca$h and Gill can take a bonus. That is what it’s all about now. I mean look at AFLX, as a game, what is the point? It’s as boring as bat [censored] but the AFL still get it on TV...
  15. B Wilson was very close to being a top line player. During the Northey years Brian always put in. He was tough in the guts and clever releasing the ball. Like Watts he was always looking for the best option. Not just a kick and hope
  16. Bayley has done eveerything right so far Jack W never got out of 2nd gear. Someone will ask him that one day, after he retires
  17. Pretty much it. I am glad he is gone. I just wished we had pushed for higher compensation than pick 31 he has always had the talent, i saw it in his school days at BGS
  18. I know!! It looks like the rug that Elton John has had for the last 20 years!!
  19. The AFL do not care about Tasmania, as most Taswegians already follow a Victorian side. It’s all about $$$ ‘s to Gill and his Henchmen (look at that photo of Gill in that article, such a smug little head...)
  20. They just are....!
  21. Hutchison had to pay the drinks ? bill for the Superbowl
  22. Nothing worries you does it Dr. no matter what the topic or outcome The fact that the AFL does not pay Tax and so many Victorian Clubs are in debt and have sub standard facilities is a F@&)($ing disgrace. Meanwhile the AFL Commission pays itself $ Millions To change the rules each year
  23. BANG ON!!! The Dr may have difficulty returning serve now....
  24. The team has to learn to read Tyson’s kicks better, often he is kicking under immense pressure. For that reason alone he is not going to always hit the sweet spot when kicking.
