2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[brucetiki]

I’m guessing Nat Fyfe, but not sure he is one to engage in this sort of thing.

As they say - it's the one you least suspect.

Someone on the rumor board says it's Dayne Beams

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Anyone have ideas on who the player is?

Don't shoot the messenger, Kane

I’d 100% order one

 

[Mutineer]

That was my first thought. It was mentioned in the article Kane played on him later in his career and was towelled up. I can’t Kane was ever sent to Tex to tag him

 

[SaltPeter]

And Tex has always been open and poked him on Twitter .. lol

Funny, I didn’t even realise we’d changed over from daylight savings until about lunchtime today

I guess he’d rather people see and then he can return fire.

Tex doesn’t care. He’s a good bloke and doesn’t take himself too seriously .. my experience anyway

Kane I was talking about.

Didn't take long for the media to pounce..

 

[SaltPeter]

Kane I was talking about.

Kane needs to get over himself. If he’s busy analysing players in the media, sometimes not terribly favourably, some people, be they players or supporters, are going to return fire

 

[Elite Crow]

I hope he names the player so the player can be lauded as a community hero

I can’t believe he thinks being outed is something the player would be concerned about, there was nothing wrong with what the player texted.

Tex has also jumped in and given Kane a whack.

Seriously is there a bigger sook than Kornes?

 

[Kenny Dee]

Could it be Dangerfield?

 

[SaltPeter]

Could it be Dangerfield?

Couple of Collingwood posters on the main board think it’s Dane Beams

The King's men: the best 20 players Wayne Carey has seen

Only three current players make the list of Wayne Carey's top 20, which is weighted on a player's match-winning ability, toughness, leadership and importance to their team.

So apparently afl are looking at bringing 6 clubs over to the NT to play matches. It could be before the cut the end of May too.

I don't this, what do the other 12 clubs do in the meantime? I really can't see the season viably going ahead so there looking at outlandish ideas to try and get it going.

3 isolated conferences of 6?

I don't think the AFL go with something so radical, also there will probably be a heap of "what about the AFL players safety/social distancing?" comments (even though the government really aren't and shouldn't be worried about safety at an individual level, its about lowering the numbers to a manageable number overall - and a small group of AFL clubs and minimal media being isolated has little risk of causing an unmanageable outbreak)

Sort of unrelated but the AFL should have looked at smaller venues from game 1.

The TV coverage did that first game no favours at all, they totally focused on the emptiness of the stadium, shot after shot of empty seats, not reducing the echo in the coverage and so on.

Later games in the round they focused less on this, they lowered the cameras, more close ups, less sweeping shots of empty stands and it got more watchable.

The only problem I have with it is that it's irresponsible as the general public may decide to stop taking precautions as we are now.
I would also not want players and staff to take up unnecessary tests. They'd also need to do the 14 day isolation when they return.

Yes this is what would stop the idea, its irresponsible. When the AFL decided to go ahead, I thought great, some normalcy, people will need that.

Since then I have realised that most people don't get it, most people need to see real life examples, have the message drilled into them, to get it. It's going to be a real balancing act to have people do the right thing, see the right thing get good results but then keep doing the right thing and not think its over.

I would hope that tests are more readily available by the time something like this was even considered, would be done using private labs and paid for by the AFL or we get to these finger prick/smart phone tests or something, shouldn't be using the limited public resources.

The 14 days I'm not worried about.
