Opinion Non-Crows AFL 11: Succession plans and other lols

[GROTTO]

So will rule him out of around half of the games scheduled.

 

[Geoffa32]

Grounded

Without pocket money?


Do they play GWS in this time frame?

Their banner could be pretty funny.

 

[GreyCrow]

I always thought the 4th umpire should be up in the stands watching the telecast

Too much time between offence and change

 

[GreyCrow]

Court Ordered Curfew.

Would have been interesting if they decided to use an ankle bracelet to monitor his movements.

Heat Map!

 

[WeeBlake]

“He’ll cop his whack” actually no actually we don’t like the whack and would like wriggle to out of the inconvenient parts of it

 

[kirky]

Seriously when you come down that race at Alberton between the bowling club and the wire fence, it was like a scene out of One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest that haven’t yet received their medication

My understanding is that one of the producers of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest knew someone down that way and suggested it for the film.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Can't he appeal?

That would likely take month's before it's heard?

Probably just cop it

As one Richmond poster quipped on their board today, "Tanks very much"

 

[ams4crows]

Too much time between offence and change

Yeah that may be true, but a trial in pre season would still be worth it to see if it does help or hinder, the standards are so poor across the board that the AFL need to try something just to say "we've explored all avenues and found its best with 4 on field" companies review their processes all the time.

 

[ams4crows]

Just on the curfew, is he allowed to travel interstate? And does he have to be at home or simply indoors at anyone's house during those hours? Is that why people are offering their apartments close to the G?

Curfew means he has to be at an address nominated by him

Now there may be loopholes but its mostly enforced at your primary residence

I think technically he can travel interstate but has to be home by 10pm.

Maybe - I just think the bigger issue is when they pay them and where followed by when and where they dont

And yes crowd affirmation is a thing. Is the controlling stadium umpire going to overturn a decision in front of goal? Im not so sure

I agree that is the main issue, I just have no idea how they fix it.

 

[GROTTO]

I can only presume that his lawyers have sought clarification in regards to the curfew and his "work commitments".

The trolling is just beginning.

 

[GreyCrow]

Subbed out at 3/4 time

 

[GROTTO]

Subbed out at 3/4 time

He is lucky he isnt coached by Nicks.

 

[ams4crows]

Well round 16 vs us will no doubt be Saturday or Sunday day or twilight.

Tiger supporters believe it will be a day game.

Brownlow Predictor: Surprise early leader, top Don's hot start

There are some new contenders among the familiar faces at the top of AFL.com.au's Brownlow Predictor

www.afl.com.au

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Tiger supporters believe it will be a day game.

Not surprising given where Richmond are at. If they were contending for finals like us, it might have put in prime-time.

 

[Slime Roy]

And yes crowd affirmation is a thing. Is the controlling stadium umpire going to overturn a decision in front of goal? Im not so sure

Not according to Umpires Boss Stephen McBurney!
Apparently crowd noise isn't a factor as "Our umpires ALWAYS blows the whistle before the crowd has time to react"

 

[Cromulant]

Can't he appeal?

That would likely take month's before it's heard?

The magistrate has already said "whilst you can appeal, you won't be successful"

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Not according to Umpires Boss Stephen McBurney!
Apparently crowd noise isn't a factor as "Our umpires ALWAYS blows the whistle before the crowd has time to react"

He didn't seriously say that, did he?
How about the next decision, after a hearty round of boos dingus?
