Here we go again, ringing the changes once more to our once great game. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2014-11-20/coin-toss-may-be-thrown Firstly I want to know who got invited to this Fan Summit, anyone from here? know anyone that attended such event??? Eithad is a soulless venue, they can add as many party lights around the ground as they like. Its a dump. Waverley Park as under developed as it was, was a better venue, thats factoring the permanent thunderstorm cloud they hovered over it everytime a footy game was to be played. Back to this summit.... held in Victoria? somewhere in Aust, or perhaps in the USA to get an opinion. They say tradition toss of the coin... well it wont be if they change it. FMD, 2 captains one tosses a coin, then point to which end they will kick too. Expect explosions, flashing scoreboards that will make the 4th of July pale into obvilion. Then 5 million amps of music to be belted out of loudspeakers while we try to discuss between ourselves the positional changes taking place. False hype to get a better game experience!!?? The game itself is the hype, its having to listen to some jerk ten rows back going off his nut at the umpires. We dont need to be brought to a fenzy with all this crap. Oh well, good luck AFL you are killing our game. Soccer hasnt changed in a billion years, yet it prospers and chugs along very nicely. They are thinking of bringing back curtain raisers before the main event, what a novel idea, I wonder what genius came up with that idea? oh wait a minute........ Why not get the tribunal and some sort of consistently with fines and penalities, oh yeah they stuffed they as well. Good to hear and see we are in safe hands moving our game into the future.
