Does Tribalism prevent the AFL from progressing into a world class compettion ??

[Tzatziki_Man]

Right now - Damien Hardwick is being mocked by the media and opposition fans for being critical of a score review system that's fundamentally flawed.

The cameras are positioned within the light towers with 4.0mega pixel flashlight Nokia technology.

The AFL today ticked off yet another blunder, and no one cared.

17 sets of supporters loved it, one set hated it. Then there's the pile on, and the AFL feel no public and media backlash to legitimately correct a flawed system. No one is accountable and they can be 'satisfied' with the outcome of their system.

It's happened all too often.

Nothing will change though, if that happened to Carlton, we'd have laughed and joined the pile on ourselves.

Yes, absolutely
I read a poster saying the afl has the work supporter/stakeholder/admin relationship of any sport , and have to agree. And the tribalism described (especially from fanboy media) allows this to flourish …

I blame Balmey for sticking it to Hayden Kennedy quite a few years ago before he even got to say hi welcome to a new season

need the same blunder to happen to Tom Hawkins - next minute they will have the AFL contracting ASIO to use multi gigapixel night vision cameras with heat sensors

Only kidding, we all know that would never happen to Hawkins

Lack of professionalism & afl being dodgy

It's insane. Literally every supporter base bad fun of how bad the technology was and how many reviews are completely useless. Suddenly after Dimma says something everyone says its fine and works well.

I feel like I'm insane talking footy with most Oppo fans. We've been anchored to the bottom of the free kicks table for years and regularly cop outlandish interpretations of the rules, new and old, yet we are still seen as being favoured by the league somehow.
