2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[Thetrader15]

Does the average AFL supporter even care? What a waste of time and energy to introduce a change that no one asked for nor needed.

Unless they can now do their own interpretation of goal signals like cricket umpires and their signals.

Just on useless goal umpires trivial questions, why do they wear hats at night? They should change their hats depending on the conditions.

Adelaide Oval = Top hat and collar (buckets for port games)
Richmond hats for MCG games (to match the field umpires)
Beanies for games at Geelong
2 beanies for games in Tassie
Lifesaver caps for GC games

I actually thought why aren't they going into the middle?

I still think they should go into the middle. They don't have a lot to do to be honest.

Watching Australian Story, its about Marlion Pickett...... very raw.

So the Power's China game looks almost a lock to be moved to Cairns.

The question has to be asked, Saints risk losing a significant home ground advantage to potentially land in the 8 is worth $700k to them, is it really worth it?

Why not forfeit the $700k and play at the Dome, land the win and potentially make it harder for the Power to grab the position in the 8 that they are likely competing for???

If it’s an extra $700k in the coffers or wanting the W to play finals, I’d say they’ve probably made the right call.

The Kangaroos have a player with a "pubic overload issue".

Is Burton working for them now?

And now for more irrelevant crap on www.afl.com.au

Gooaallll! But why are the goal umpires next to the post?

For the first time since 1994, umpires will no longer be forced to return to the centre of the goals to signal a major

Does this actually warrant an article?

This looks like Steve Hocking has been told to leave the game alone but he needs to be seen to be doing something.

Ive always felt they should have a portable chair to sit on when the ball is at the other end.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I liked how the goal umpires could signal goals from anywhere in the olden 90s days

Kept an element of surprise to it all

Thumbs up AFL!

Imagine how they must feel whenever ROB lines up for goal. "* I'm going to have to do some running here".

Boundary umps are used to running

A stool or a rocking chair?
Stool would give you a lot of versatility but I have a spare rocking chair handy.

Read the article, my question is why would the QLD government want to chip in to help fund a St. Kilda vs Port Power AFL game?

Thumbs down when compared to what other sports are doing, they’re killing the theatre of suspense. What should happen is the umpire returns to the middle point of the goal line, goes through the full routine for a goal with both arms every time but if it’s a point they drop one arm out right at the end.

Or he kills two birds and relocates Gold Coast to Tassie

Gold Coast Rains or Reigns...

A 30 minute podcast with 1-2 hosts and a rotation through every player on the playing list as the season goes on (1-2 per week), with a proper weekly schedule, would be fantastic

Danger used to host one with Kat Gill about 5-6 years ago that was actually pretty good. Would regularly have JJ and Lynch on and was a lot of banter. Every now and then they'd bring in a newer player and chat to them. I actually really liked it. It was a fun insight.

I liked how they didn't always look dead forward either. If someone kicked it from 45° they'd signal it towards where they kicked from or where the umpire was. But with all the focus on TV presentation I'd imagine that won't return.

I first read that as public overload issue and wondered how I missed Dangerfield being traded to the Roos

They should go back to wearing long white coats and a moustache.
