Moving closer and closer each day to being done with this manipulated joke of an industry. Just need my Brown and Gold blood extracted.

The AFL want him to get to 1000 this year. 17 to go.

Would be great if it occurred during a no crowds allowed game!

 

[Nugett]

Ugh, what an unlike-able GF match-up that would be.

who will the umps bet on?

Cunnington in for tumor surgery

but you can throw elbows - they are okay

 

[Xtreme]

Clarko will just get them to thumb wrestle instead

 

[rei154]

If anything is going to stop Clarko coaching next year it's this!
Back to putting holes in walls instead, sigh.

 

[hardway]

Hawks still leading the way when it comes to the AFL changing the direction of the game.

rough week for it

Despite some of the ridiculous 1980s attitudes expressed on this board in support of sparring, this was the inevitable and sensible outcome. Footballers do not need to be punched by one another in the workplace.

AFL dictating how clubs can train.

 

[Gaston]

Cunnington in for tumor surgery

When I first read the headline the thought was tanking (Cunnington out for remainder of year).
Then you see the reason, whoa!! Hope all goes well and he has a full recovery.

Agree.

I also read that the players weren't using headgear and had been instructed to "tag" each other on the head during sparring.

I mean what could go wrong in that scenario

This should come as no surprise as the AFL is going to continue strengthening it’s protocols to minimise concussions and it’s potential liability in any future litigation that may arise from players suffering brain damage.

Except for buddy’s flying elbows. That’s fine

Maybe we need to train the ‘buddy’s elbow’ more

AFL are reviewing tackling post season. Unnamed sources within the walls of the AFL are concerned with tackling and the ‘look’ of how this part of the game is perceived. Reports coming out of AFL house indicate that the ‘tackle’ causes injury to players from landing on their shoulders,grass burns, being driven into the turf and the occasional head knock.

Clarkson has also questioned the need for tackling saying the tackle is an unrewarding part of the game that probably should be abolished.

A subcommittee will be formed to come up with alternative actions & ideas that will be deemed acceptable to all.
Ideas ranging from ‘tagging’….’removable ribbons attached to players shorts and even suggestions that players can call out ‘gotcha’ to receive a free kick in response.

This whole idea came from Steve Hosking as his last legacy of his impressive tenure as the AFL Very General Operations Manager.

Stay tuned

I'm sure some people want to at least swat someone else with a rolled up newspaper!!

may very well be on his last legs, but I find it really disrespectful. The guy is trying to do a job the best he can yet they have already signed his death certificate.
Its like they are ambulance chasers, in the same vein as A Current Affair is.

It really doesnt sit well with me.
