And kept by the infringer.
Players will always choose to play, just like they would choose to go back on. Duty of care is from the club, the doctors and the AFL because athletes will do just about anything to complete/win.
I agree. But I think we are in the minority.
At the very least, clubs should have a pick in the first round to pick them.
As long as Peter Daicos hasn’t got any more boys that we don’t know about…
Tom Liberatore is not underrated or unheralded despite how many times we hear it. As evidenced by the fact that every time he goes near it the commentators gush over him and mention his "underrated" he is. He is pretty clearly recognised as an elite inside player that he is.

How would you enforce this no repercussions thing?
You really don’t think young, fringe players won’t feel pressured to play even if they don’t feel comfortable to help their careers?

The underrated calls come from the fact that he has never been All Australian and his best and fairest came in a year the dogs were poor.
Point is that his list of awards and accolades doesn’t reflect the quality of player he is which is absolutely true.

West Coast and Fremantle should be merged to keep the AFL competitive for WA and keep the supporters engaged
Teams should have 100% control where they play home games. The fact Geelong play Pies at the MCG is a joke.
End of the day it’s just about money which shouldn’t come before fairness.

Corey enright effect?
Luke Beveridge is the coach who should be under the most scrutiny this year. The talent on that list is ridiculous but some of the decision making is bizarre. Very frequently having 4 or 5 ins and outs week to week, playing 4 similar tall, non-pressure forwards, recruiting Lobbe when you have an abundance in that position, etc.
Put a decent coach in charge of that group and I see them as favourites for next year’s flag.

I thought this thread was for unpopular opinions
Fair bit of irony in a Collingwood supporter suggesting a fairness test.
Am I in charge of fixture scheduling?
Women shouldn't be umpiring AFL games. One of the players on Friday night got a 50m paid against him because he couldn't hear her voice calling out stand. You could hear very clearly how much further the male umpires' voices carried and why he wouldn't have been able to hear her over the crowd noise. We also have to avoid putting them in the middle of the ground to pretend there isn't an issue with the centre bounce and upper body strength.
Agree. I doubt this is unpopular.
However, Geelong might be happy playing the pies at the G if they get a % of all home game gates. But the decision should come from the home team.
Geelong should be awarded the 1995 flag

I would like to see teams get more creative with their second jumpers. Move away from their design and colourways and change them more often in the same way European soccer clubs do.
Carlton with a yellow/green/orange jumper, navy monogram, would sell a heap more jumpers year on year and more importantly actually solve the issue of a clash. Currently it’s just half assed where we try to keep as much navy on the jumper as possible. Almost at the point where you just wear white shorts and save the hassle.

I tend to like some of the 'retro' look jumpers that have a little bit of heritage in them. The saints one this year has the 80s stick man in it.
Freo can always go back to their original jumper for clashes. IIRC the swans had a really nice design based on their early 90s kit.

Personally I don't like the idea. North are Blue and White. Our colours should always be that. Same goes for all clubs and their respective colours. There are zero jumper clashes in the AFL if both teams just have a light and dark kit. Anything else is just a money grab.
