2021 Non-Crows AFL Discussion Part 1: we can have lots of fun!

[Interceptor]

These are always good -

People have been losing their minds about this over here.
Protests, banners, burning team gear, etc.
Amazing though that they accept more or less the same Premier League clubs dominating year after year.

Anyway, looks like the ESL idea has fallen apart now.

I have watched a few segments on this and one interesting fact that the media have at times failed to appreciate is just how much in debt some of these Clubs are in and how much they are being paid to join.

We are talking billions here. $5.4 Billion to join.

Glory be. I can appreciate why the boards would make the decision to join.

 

[GROTTO]

The league statement said the clubs would receive 3.5 billion euros ($5.4 billion) just for signing up to the new competition.

'Pure greed': Breakaway European Super League sparks fury as football giants sign up

The English Premier League's six biggest clubs, as well as Spanish and Italian giants, announce they are joining a breakaway European league that has been roundly criticised by football officials and world leaders.

Interesting that this ESL didn’t involve German clubs because they are owned 51% by members - maximum external interests can own is 49%.

Explaining the Bundesliga's 50+1 rule

Football in Germany is popular for many reasons: top-quality play, the highest average attendances in world football, low ticket prices and a great fan culture. A major contributing factor in this is the 50+1 ownership rule. bundesliga.com takes a closer look at exactly how and why it works...

They made a mistake and operated on his head and then realised it was an ankle problem. Wonder if they found a brain.

So RAA are doing half-price port membership promo.

Surprising in a premiership season.

Round 9 v WC @ Optus, Sunday twilight
Round 10 v Dees @ AO, Saturday night

Might be a good week to take advantage of the NZ travel bubble. Both games could get pretty ugly.

And a year when the stadium isn't even at capacity!

So the handout club is going to be the first for increased crowds here, I'm shocked

I'm not shocked

 

[pjcrows]

Blues hiring Worsfold as a "coaching consultant". Imagine the coin they're spending on that.

Fresh injury worry for Port Adelaide

The cult figure will spend some time on the sidelines.

Not even an elite coach. Good luck to them.

Roo hinted that ‘the wheels are in motion’ for a national reserves comp on a MMM podcast today

 

[GROTTO]

I know there is a few Cobra Kai junkies on here, so I will keep those of you up to date with the release of S4 expected in the 4th quarter of this year. Meaning, October, November or December.

Most likely IMO December.

'Cobra Kai' Season 4 and Season 2 of 'The Witcher' and 'You' Confirmed to Premiere on Netflix This Year

New episodes of popular Netflix shows like 'Cobra Kai,' 'You' and 'The Witcher' are confirmed for this year.

About time too. The VFL is essentially this now as it is (right down to Fox telecasting a match themselves)

This will be win-win. Us and Port will get the national reserves comp, and the SANFL will continue on strongly as an 8 team competition (and finally shut the No AFL in the SANFL parrots up).

The question for the SANFL is whether to have a 14 or 21 round season.

My understanding is that it was ready to go a lot sooner, but obviously the pandemic placed a brake on it.

The Melbourne game's now been moved to 4:05pm.

This change was not announced by the club and I only found this out by accident looking at the fixture.

The game wasn't moved. The Crows article said 4:05pm when it was released this morning. It was the AFL article that was wrong, getting our game and the Bulldogs/Saints game the wrong way around.

To be fair I don't mind the Saturday twilight spot, you can go into the city early have some drinks and lunch or alternatively hit the Casino and have dinner and shots afterwards depending on how things go during the game.
