do you believe 800k-900k for a tall forward that averages 2 goals a game would be an attractive proposition?
Similarly Bailey Smith came off 22 disposal average and kicked 4 goals for the entire season. 800k-900k for Smith in 2021 would be reasonable, the club would be negligent in matching...
MVP and All Australian should be determined by a neutral panel of expert analysts that are required to watch every single game (remunerated accordingly)
It seems easy for umpires to form a cartel on voting, no?
They naturally would all talk each other and have their circles, I see no effective barriers, regulations or measures to stop them talking about how they voted.
Given the numerous forms of betting for the brownlow, getting a...
In contact sport where aggression in the form of hard hits is a 'feature' of the playstyle i.e. MMA, Boxing, rugby, NFL, AFL etc any intervention is too much or to put it your way 'more than enough'.
Fantastical concern trolling in terms of mitigating concussion is a never ending pursuit of...
Why do people waste energy talking about tanking/salary cap cheating/doping?
Based on the AFL's history in dealing with these matters, particularly in the era of commercialization and massive TV deals, do you honestly believe any real breaches will be seriously investigated?
Based on the way...
Not sure if this is serious or not?
Adults must retain the right to do what they wish with their bodies providing they aren't breaking the law which Patrick isn't.
He should be informed of the risks by the AFL and the club. If he elects to continue playing, he takes ownership of the risks and...
Flop in terms of expectations - yes
Flop on terms of draft position - no
I think a premiership medallion and one AA is above par for pick 5.
Was always lazy at the dogs - Cooney, Higgins high draft pick, high talent ceiling, low application syndrome.
For those that don't know crypto.com is tied intricately with FTX/Alameda. FTX fraudulently lent out customer funds (essentially operating a fractional reserve system) to their sister hedge fund Alameda Research. Alameda Research squandered the customer funds through a number of mechanisms...
wtf, just took a look at bailey's instagram and there are grown women in long term relationships saying "fml I want to get a spoon and eat out his ass"...
Reminds me of the Roman Empire under Nero, too much degeneracy amongst the general population is often a bellweather for a societal...
He kicked the game winning goal from inside the centre square and took a ton of contested marks when the game was in the balance.
Big men aren't rated on stats. Easily BOG.
no
The AFL have proven on multiple occasions they won't pursue issues that may damage the image of the game. This is no doubt tied with the TV deals and the fact that the AFL has been on record stating that commercial KPIs are used to determine performance bonuses - a clear COI.
Look at the...
Regarding the Hawthorn report, the article indicates this occured during the dynasty.
Bevo was an assistant during this time, if the full report indicates bevo, god forbid, was complicit or overlooked these things you'd think he has to go.
See 3rd party deals with cotton on and perhaps the most dodgy of all the bomber Thompson land subdivision arrangements/deals in the municipality of geelong achieved likely with the influence of high ranking personnel from the club.
I do believe a number of clubs skirt the salary cap through under the table arrangements.
The AFL has proven they will sweep negative news events (doping, tanking etc) under the rug - when the exec salaries are tied to commercial growth, why on Earth would they proactively investigate salary...
Prior to Richmond dynasty I recall a massive autopsy thread (150 pager) after a big loss where all posters were unanimous in wanting Hardwick gone - you have to see it to believe some of the stuff that was spewed. I could not find one person wanting him to stay.
Similarly prior to 2016, Boyd...
What sort of an absolute cuck would pause a game in their own sovereign country for some remnant of a bygone era in another country?
It's unfathomable any Australian acknowledges and recognises the British monarchy.
Top kek at this view of the world.
Royce Hart: Hey John, this sledging is going too far, I'm about to turn on the waterworks and be off my game.
John Nicholls: no worries mate, I'll tell the boys to back off and apologise.
Imagine a full grown man crying over any kind of words uttered.
Imagine insulting others and crying when you get it back.
Imagine then telling your coaches/captain who cultivated your teams sledging approach who then do some more crying.
Sad stuff. Sometimes I wonder if the boomers were right.
