Roast Who is getting paid to come up with these ideas?

[jesterx]

I've got a much better idea: each player gets to nominate a song of their choice and they blast that song over the PA for 5 seconds to alert the players its time to come off. Now i hear what you're thinking 'but jesterx, how is that going to work when there are multiple people that need to come off at the same time?' and to those people I say: hold up, i need to wait my turn for the AFL HQ bong to make its way round the boardroom table.

 

[Rich o man]

I just don't know where to even begin with this..




In what world does anyone think this is a good idea?

Any amount of sunlight and you can't see shit on those screens as the video showed.

Not to mention the size of the screen. Players will have to be within arms reach to be able to see it. by which point someone on the bench could simply say "yep come off the ground"

what an absolute ******* joke.

Other sports using this have a field size a quarter of an AFL ground.

 

[parmy2balmey]

have been reliably informed that a French au pair and treloar’s girlfriend came up with this idea whilst being roundtabled at an illuminati-esque all you can eat bbq event in portsea

And still use big, bright, low res boards that can be seen a mile away. Not ****ing ipads.

The game also stops.

Is there a reason why they can't use a vibrator in the gps tracker they're all using? Or make them wear a fit bit?

AFL scraps expensive LED screens after brief trial

By Sam McClure
March 6, 2019 — 5.26pm


The AFL’s expensive new gizmo will be scrapped after just one trial, with the LED boards used on the boundary line deemed inappropriate for use during games.
Despite the AFL spending nearly $5000 per board and waiting weeks for delivery from overseas, it’s understood the screens won’t make it to the home-and-away season, after it was found that they can’t be seen in the sun.
The Age understands that clubs have been told to use their own boards instead and have been asked to return the screens to the AFL.
The failed trial of the monitors came as no surprise to several clubs, who complained about the lack of functionality, with the screens believed to weigh upwards of seven kilograms each.
They were also virtually invisible to players when they face the sun.

Clubs have been told to use their own boards, which must fit in the dimensions of 800 millimetres x 600 millimetres and cannot have sponsor advertising attached.
Everything else, including what the boards are made from and the size of the font used, is at the discretion of the clubs. Only one board can be used at a time.
Clubs are expected to concentrate the use of their own boards for rotations and basic tactical changes, such as attacking or defensive game styles that are likely to be dictated by different colours.
Before the failed trial, the introduction of the LED screens was seen by several clubs as a strange decision and a mini backflip by the AFL, given it had previously limited the use of runners to make the game less coached.
Clubs then found the systems difficult to operate and there remained confusion over what kind of symbols could be used during games.

“We didn’t use the message board on the weekend because we knew that they wouldn’t work,” Brisbane Lions coach Chris Fagan said on Wednesday.
“It was hard to see in the sun … we’ve been given the opportunity this week to find our own board.”
It was initially stated that the screens could portray symbols and numbers before emojis were also discussed.
Although the AFL has asked clubs to return the screens it's unclear what the league will use them for.


does this mean I should stop applying for icon designer job to design shitty icons that would make Helen Keller cry ?

wow nobody saw that coming

vibrating butt plugs now theres an idea that could catch on

 

[RFCGloryJC]

You see those vibrator things at some restaurants telling you when the meal is ready!
Seriously, though, personally all I care about is the fixture.
We have a good one.
Collingwood has the worst this year.

Rigorous testing of the new technology has been undertaken by the AFL football operations team ahead of the rollout at various venues across the League.

Let's wait and see how rigorous they tested it.

Grockadoc raised this last night on the podcast and asked for our thoughts.

my answer was simple.


within 2 weeks I'll be doing another 'Tigercast Takedown' segment taking aim at this 'technology'

but logically, the microphone would be imbedded in the post to pick up soundwaves in contact with the post, it wouldn't be a normal microphone to pick up sound waves in the air all round so I'd say crowd noise doesn't come into it...just like at the cricket crowd noise is meaningless....but a player's boot can certainly graze the post...or as said someone can delib 'hit' the post...surely that'll get picked up...
