2016 Non Crows AFL Discussion thread Part 2

If you read a little further, one might almost think that Buddy going was Clarkson's great idea, too!

Where he played Buddy made me think he knew exactly what was happening.

 

[GROTTO]

Hawthorn/Clarkson have enough Golden Tickets they could drop to 15th and it would get sold as a Golden Nugget of Steaming Yum-Yum-Yummo. ''but we are in a good Draft Position'' Yummo.

It would take something monumental and unrelated to footy for the Hawks and Clarko to depart company. He would be the best person to head their rebuild imo when they properly have one.

I wonder which AFL team is going to copy the Cavaliers and make a video like this for round 1. Probably port, they will invent it.

Its for reasons like this why I believe Twitter and BF should have a "dislike" tag.

Hashtags are the worst. They all scream 'I live with my parents' and 'Look at me Mum, I'm on the internet!!'

Effeminate girly dork nonsense.

Can someone explain what thought process enters your head .....you've just fallen off a balcony (Colin Sylvia), fractured your neck, have bleeding on the brain .......and you're thinking "must take a selfie"

Brain Damage.

Ach I'm a grumpy old man and I see the pouty teens on trains taking pics, then they do the ''squeeze in and pout'' with friend selfie. And then they stress for the rest of the ride because nobody ''liked it'' . My daughter got a bollocking one day from me. I told her her self worth came from those around her not those online.

Was just thinking the same thing. He's an attention-seeking narcissist and a dork.

I'm a grown man, employed and I don't shop at Sportsgirl so I don't know anything about Instagram and Facesnapspace or whatever these girly sites are but when I meet people who talk about how they broadcast their lives on these websites, I cringe and get instant douchechills. No masculine man should be posting photos of themselves on the internet. It's just not right for a man.

I feel, like, really threatened by this post and must escape to my safe space where I can make Tumblr posts detailing just how much hurt and pain this has caused me by way of hyper-emotional memes.

How old were you when you realised you were already outdated in the modern world?

I'm really sensing that you're not truthfully accepting my current emotional state. I need you to know that this only heightens my insecurity which you are now a microagressor to. You need to check your privilege!

We do have some insensitive bloggers on this forum. Unfortunately. Cheer up, you do get some sympathy from a few of us.

Sounds great. Let's lower the cost of memberships and stadium tickets. Doesn't make a lot of sense in Adelaide where the stadium sells out most weeks, but it would definitely be a good idea in Victoria.

Except, that isn't happening. The money the players want isn't money earmarked to provide a subsidised rate for fans. It's money going into the AFL coffers.

I'm more than happy for the AFL to come out and say "the players shouldn't get x% of our revenue because we want to take the game back to the fans and make footy more accessible" or "the players shouldn't get x% of the revenue because we want to spend that money on grass roots footy", or any other similarly worthy cause. But that's not what they're saying.

The AFL has an enormous wad of new revenue, and they've barely had to increase their expenditure to earn it - it's been won on the back of the popularity of the game and the advent of pay TV, two things which cost them effectively zero dollars in the here and now. That new money has to go somewhere. Either it goes to a worthy cause, such a grass roots footy, or it goes back into the AFL itself. If it's the latter (and by and large it appears to be) then I think it's perfectly reasonable to expect them to divide it among the various stakeholders at appropriate percentages arrived at by negotiation.

I'm not saying lower the cost of tickets for the sake of it

But I don't want ticket increases on the back if 30% pay rise for players

Happy to pay extra if it trickles down to the SMOSH under 9's

Ticket prices have been going up well above the inflation rate... as has the cost of food & beverages.

And if the players get their "way over " the inflation rate pay rise , tickets prices will skyrocket - it will be just the excuse the AFL need

Food and drinks increase are just plain greed

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

And if the players get their way over the inflation rate pay rise , thickets will skyrocket

Would be interesting to get a full breakdown of where all the afl's $'s are spent.

I gather the players are after some of the new tv rights increase...but the cost has certainly increased since moving to Adelaide Oval.

Let me guess, men should also never talk about their feelings or cry or hug another man or wear pink or drink white wine or go to the theatre?
