2021 Non-Crows AFL Talk 2: are the VFL corrupt?

[ams4crows]

The Brownlow medal is awarded to the "Fairest and Best" player - so a player who commits a thug act (i.e. Lycett) shouldn't be receiving votes.

The AFLCA's award is for "acknowledging outstanding effort by an individual player in a season." There's nothing in that wording which precludes giving votes to an ugly thug like Lycett.

Did he get coaches votes?

Side note, how the f*** did Dixon get a vote?? LOL

Dominant tall forward on the ground.

Did he get coaches votes?

No, so it's a moot point anyway.

Chris Scott compllaining again...

He's worried the footy cap was reduced by 37% so there are less people doing the same amount of work.

Here's an idea Chris - you and all your assistants take a salary of $80k and work your 40 hours per week like the average person does, then you can have more coaches.

They will love you forever: Behind the scenes of Port's Showdown week

Callum Twomey spent a week embedded in the Port Adelaide camp ahead of Showdown 49. This is what he learned

www.afl.com.au

I’m confused. Port were saying the prison bars was a player led initiative. Then Chris Davies was on 5aa last night saying the leadership group came up with the idea together.

Now Cal Twomey is saying the club had the idea weeks ago and told the leadership group in the week leading up to the game that they had to do it, and the rest of the playing group only found out after the game?

Potato head lying again colour me shocked, he also accused Rowie of saying Lycetts tackle was a dog act, they've gone through the entire show from last night and that wasn't said once.

Chris Davies and Kochie are stains on the PAFC.

Long may they stay!

Both absolute flogs.

Davies is a true campaigner. The insecurity he must feel on a daily basis is incredible.

The best bit about that article is that it lays out very clearly, despite the Port spin, that changing the guernsey after the game was 100% a marketing decision. It was not led by the players at all.

terrible take

Chris Scott is bang on. When competitive advantage is being made up by people working excessively then that’s a problem.

this is a competitive industry in the first place, people work stupid hours in the first place so a system that tacitly encourages them to go even further is a problem

Cheap shot was the claim.

Obviously Burn-Jones isn’t in their leadership group new nothing about it

Cheap shot was the claim.

If Rowie did Allegedly say that would he be wrong? No, it was in fact a cheap shot

 

[ams4crows]

Surely West Coast immediately part ways with Willie Rioli, they've been paying him for 2 years and he's still at a risk of being suspended again.

 

[GROTTO]

Mr Ehrlich QC is also referencing the Taylor Walker tackle on Josh Kelly from 2018, which was graded as high impact, not sent to tribunal & resulted in a two week suspension. He puts forward that the Lycett tackle is a midpoint between the Walker & Neal-Bullen tackles

 

[GROTTO]

Ehrlich believes if the jury finds Lycett's tackle less severe than Neal-Bullen's, it should result in a three-week ban rather than four.

 

[GROTTO]

Paul Ehrlich QC, representing Port Adelaide, is putting forward that Lycett's tackle is on the lower end of severe impact and therefore a sanction of three weeks would be more appropriate #pafclive

[GROTTO]

Ehrlich has concluded his 25-minute submission on behalf of Port Adelaide.

The jury is being given final directions and being sent to deliberate.

[GROTTO]

Ehrlich says Scott Lycett was 'Goliath' and Ned McHenry was 'David'

"You shouldn't punish him (Lycett) for being Goliath."

All players play to their strengths and that's what Lycett was doing, he says.

Disgusting

 

[ams4crows]

What about the lying on-top of the concussed player afterwards?? He shows zero concern for the player he just knocked out

 

[ams4crows]

You also have a duty of care when tackling so should be aware of the size difference and the impact you may cause! What a bullshit excuse
