Not really. Stare jumpers were not always state of origin. They were worn by whoever was playing in/for that state. Like Dunstall playing for Victoria.
Obviously, but it is an example of how the Swans stuffed the Giants by keeping half of the suburbs west of Sydney. And the Swans fans don’t have any problem turning up at games.
Serong in if Sicily misses.
Finn either in the 22 (Watson to sub), or in the VFL (for Husthwaite).
Gunston is slow, but no slower than 2022. He lost his pace years ago. He stays in.
Perhaps AFLW should be played before AFL games. All stadiums need two sets of rooms so there can be a tight turnaround. E.g. 5.30pm start before at 7.40pm AFL game. At least the last quarter woild be played before half the AFL crowd.
Let’s explore some of those options the instead of thinking that the strategy devised in 2009 is ever going to work.
And yes, there is a lesson there. Hawks moved from tiny old Glenferrie to PP in the north which was more modern and twice the size. Their comparable crowds dropped by about 1/3...
24 rounds would mean another neutral round so you can play nine games in NSW/Qld/Tas instead of the rediculous round zero with only four games. Day games in Tas also solves the heat problem.
Chol and Gunston are both very slow. It’s not the future, but for now, it is the best we have.
If we are not going to give Serong a run as a tallish backman (we need one of those too), then he should be playing forward this season at BHH. He looked like the ‘new Gunston’ two years ago. Smart...
376 at the ALW proves that the Matilda bandwagon has no bearing on the sport and any other level. It might get more girls playing, but the AL has come and gone.
So am I. That is why change is needed. It is clearly not gaining any traction. Top of the ladder and 8k. That is unheard of.
And I have made many suggestions in the thread. Don’t get my wrong. I want it to work. It just isn’t.
Yeah nah. 8k at an AFL game is a disaster. Game would have no atmosphere. Do we just accept this indefinitely? What is that definition of insanity again?
You could add another 3k to 5k and tart up Suncorp without too much structural work. It wouldn’t be worth rebuilding stand a the roof to add another 10k.
That, and a 55k stadium at Vic Park is my prediction. Keep costs down.
