I don't think any team should be getting priority pick, I didn't think North should have and I don't think West Coast should
Clubs and List management need to be held accountable if you hang on to bunch of 30 year Olds too long and then gut your list and have zero quality senior players that's...
I would almost prefer the All Australian team to not have a bench, it should be field positions only. Also you have to actually pick players who play on the wing for wing spots and half forwards who play half forward a small defenders who actually defends and not just half back flanks and mids...
Collingwood
Port
Carlton
StKilda
The hardest game to pick is the Collingwood Melbourne game, but I think McCrae's coaching is what will get Collingwood over the line
Port will beat Brisbane at the Gabba, Brisbane will fold under the pressure as they normally do in finals.
Carlton at the MCG...
A Saints GWS final wouldn't sell out Marvel so there's no need for it to be at the MCG so more people can go.
Then again maybe Stkilda want it at the MCG.
We didn't declare the 3rd party payment correctly but it still would have been under the cap it wasn't a brown paper bag, what we were found guilty of was draft tampering for having a document that said we'd trade him to the club of his choice for a 2nd round pick
It seems a logical solution but of course would cost the AFL a fair bit of coin.
If they made it a real career opportunity for fitness and footy loving people, perhaps even have a special scholarship from school or get some of these undrafted kids who know the game well but don't have all the...
Is there a reason we can't have more neutral umpires? When a Vic team plays NSW team why can't the umpires be from WA QLD or SA?
The AFL need to invest in umpires too and their development so that it's their only job and during the week they watch vision and practise position and go to AFL...
Absolutely, you can't change results after the fact just because footage came to light.
Just something footy fans have to live with, they'll be errors, sometimes they cost teams games but there's nothing you can do about it.
It's on the AFL to put better processes in place
Then the AFL would hit us with draft sanctions.
It's be nice if they stopped sending us to regional grounds when would Collingwood ever play in Canberra Ballarat Tasmania Geelong and Darwin in the same season and in the last 3 games of the season travel to Brisbane back to Melbourne and then to...
The issue is the AFL won't fix the issues and this will happen to another club down the line just like with Richmond in a final a few years ago.
The worst part is there is nothing Adelaide FC can do but accept an apology and remain pissed off at the situation.
We actually need all clubs to say...
AFL aren't going to do anything, nothing will change because of this incident.
AFL don't give a stuff about the SA teams. They are all about growing the game in NSW
Public outrage only lasts about a week these days before a new story is at the forefront, but I think this time the AFL's hand will be forced because of this impending lawsuit they'll have to go way over the top to make it seem like they care.
Typical AFL, won't spend a cent extra than they have to and now this incident has happened will gladly hand out punishment even though that had the ability to stop it from happening in the first place.
Also not surprising at all that AFL house and no eyes on the Showdown, always been a lack of...
The issue is also the best talls which is what North need in this draft are all connected to an academy.
Still unbelievable they picked Phillips over McDonald back in 2020
That's probably the best way to give North what they want without upsetting the rest of the competition. If they did it this week you would think Port would win at least 2 of the 4 remaining games and have a better percentage than WC and North so it would be pick 3
I thought there was already someone independent at the AFL that did review incidents in real time and send messages to team doctors on match day.
But Yes the goal should be to have one independent doctor at all AFL matches moving forward and it's their decision if the player needs to be have a...
Have the AFL players Association made a comment about the incident yet?
Shouldn't they be saying the health and well-being of players is of the up most importance and they are unhappy with how PAFC treated their members??
Well a fine if given would mean the AFL have to pay it to themselves and they have no meaningful draft picks to take away, so a possibility but I doubt very much the AFL will go that far they'll just blame the doctor not the club
I pretty sure it's not the first time Jones has been subbed due to a migraine. I think Jones does have migraine issues that predate the incident from Saturday night.
HIA is supposed to be 20 mins as after the test you need to wait to see if other symptoms develop.
He was off the ground for 6 mins and 50 seconds they still haven't followed protocol
In the past we've had a player pass the concussion test in Doedee and Randall but during the week the AFL have said their independent doctors looked at the vision and believe that a concussion was likely and effectively told us those players can't play the following week.
You would think...
