Analysis 2017 List Management Discussion - Part 3

[RAPPA]

Jim, the current change to the rule has done this anyway.
Shaun Grigg ain’t no ruckman, the current rule change made a bigger farce of the ruck contest than it was under the previous rules.
Griggs sole purpose was to nullify the ruck contest with the opposition ruckman. This was assisted as there wasn’t any fear of contact by some 6 foot 6 opposition player.
Also went someway to helping Richmond win the flag as they were the first team to really exploit it by having a player like Grigg ruck.

I still can't accept that Grigg is a premiership player

I still the think the greatest change to our game will come when the AFL accepts my 'Pinball Wizard' rule:

----------------------------------------​

Once per quarter, each team's coach has the ability to smash a comically big red button in the coaches box, whereby "M-M-M-M-MULTIBAAAAAAAAL!!" will be played over the stadium loudspeakers with obnoxiously loud air horn noises and other hip young sounds in conjunction with all TVs and LED barriers around the ground lighting up to indicate the triggering of the Multi-ball Power Play (MPP).

Once a coach engages their MPP, a player is allowed to retrieve a brightly-coloured Sherrin from a bag behind their defensive goal and kick the ball out as per the rules for bringing a ball back into play after a behind is scored. This ball is now in play in addition to the standard ball, and is designated the Power Play Ball (PPB) for the team the team calling the MPP, designated the PowerPlay Team (PPT). There are no limitations on when the MPP can be called by each coach, and may be called by both concurrently.

An additional umpire dressed in the same colour as the multi-ball for that match runs onto the field at the commencement of the MPP and is solely responsible for adjudicating play around that ball with a whistle of distinctly different sound to the regular field umpires.

The PPB may remain in play for three minutes (real time) or until one of the following occurs which designates the end of the MPP:
1. A goal is kicked by the PPT, which is awarded 12 points.
2. A behind is scored by PPT, which is awarded 3 points.
3. A player from the PPT is caught holding the ball.
4. The opposition team scores a goal with either the PPB or regular ball.

Should the PPB become out of bounds by any means, the MPP clock will pause until the PPT retrieves another PPB to once again kick the ball out from their defensive goal square.

------------------------------------------​

It'll be beautiful.

This interests me way more than what I have heard about AFLX. Get it done.

Should we go after Rory Sloane? Kane Cornes thinks the Pies, Saints and us Navy Blues should:

Wrong player at the wrong time at the wrong price for Carlton .
We'll land our big FA fish in good time , let St.Kilda pay overs for Sloane ...

If Ben sos is so good why is he not in the national academy?

I'm not sure if this was tongue in cheek, but I heard someone say yesterday that Geelong could be in the hunt as there was speculation he wanted to play with Dangerfield again.

The process of nomination is about 2 seconds. It's not a congestion-inducing issue, though arguably the man staying down is.

2 seconds? Cmon now. I can remember several times it taking quite a long time.

Not contesting the ruck could become a big issue and one that would take the afl a whole season to address.

I reckon you're right. Unless something or someone has 100% of my attention, it's like I have 10% brain power dedicated to meeting the basic requirements of behaving in a socially appropriate manner, and 90% the equivalent of Homer Simpson whooping around on the floor with heavy metal music playing amidst a chaotic dystopian setting of randomness.

It's pretty.

Can someone answer this for me..
If Ben sos is so good why is he not in the national academy?

It could be that SOS hides him, like jack in school footy, doesn't let them play tac cup, if he's good enough we'll likely see him in the national carnival

A couple of years ago Pick 1 and 2 weren't in the national academy.

National Academy isn't the be all and end all,
That said, the hype that he tends to receive on here does seem to outweigh his performances at school level.

It's the Silvagni factor. At the moment, from what I can tell, Will Hickmott is probably the best fs prospect. I'm not an expert so I could be wrong with that assumption.

Considering past history, if Kane thinks we “would be having a serious dip at him, as they should” I’d argue that we’re probably not having a crack nor should we...

Concussion is serious stuff. Ask Kane.

Reckon Kane Cornes' IQ took a serious dip at some stage during his footy career...

It happened when he was 17 in 2000 at the exact moment he was selected by Port with pick 20.
