MRP has lost the plot

[thistimeforsure]

You can’t have 5-6 blokes getting concussed every game either

Hit them / dump them hard enough to concuss and you’re getting weeks is about the only way to minimise it

And when has there ever been 5-6 blokes getting concussed in any game let alone every game? That kinda of deluded paranoid thinking we are im this mess.

Theres nothing like those numbers. 5-6 in a whole weekend would be at the very high end probably a near record.

The avoidable ones caused by malice, recklessness, carelessness etc go your hardest. The ones caused by accidental footballing actions leave the hell alone.

well i think back before we were aware of concussions, there would have been 5-6 every week, easy. Its just back then they would shake it off and go back on. Remembering how they played in the 80's and 90's i cant see how players didnt get concussed.

So i agree the AFL needed to do something, but they are going about it wrong.

But the rules this year are drastically different to the rules even 3 or 4 years ago. We weren't getting 5 or 6 across the weekend 3 or 4 years ago so the need to make these over the top harsh rulings isn't there and thus my response to the poster based on their 5 or 6 concussions a game still stands.

Oh I totally agree with you - i was talking about the AFL having to make changes after the damage to players who played in the 80's and 90's are coming out now.

With the AFL its all about liability. So they clutch at any straws offered to them to try and mitigate the cases of concussion.

Frankly, i am shocked they dont implement mandatory helmet rules.

Tbh helmet to helmet clashes is what lead NFL to apply a similar rule due to concussions involving helmets as well.

Just to be clear: the MRP has never had the plot.

well you want to focus on the umps rather than the millions dished out to revamp Kidney Bean Park.

not to mention sweeping under the rug the '07, '09 and '11 flags that were all won with Dank juice.

Move the goalposts some more and Jack Darling might actually kick a goal.

If the Eagles want to talk about getting government money, didn't the WA state government shell out the entire cost of Optus Stadium? Billllllllions of dollars?

Not to mention the "very special" Eagles teams of the mid-2000s. Get Ben back to coach - teach the boys a thing or two about athleticism (ie running from the cops)

 

[frggr]

Talk about disenfranchising supporters. What a pathetic joke.

Melbourne supporters have been waiting for an excuse to allow themselves to be 'disenfranchised' these last few years

you ok? you seem to think the AFL is a Government body? Perth Stadium is not owned by the Eagles, we lease it, along with Freo, the ACB, concerts and anyone who wants to shell out. Its a multi purpose stadium the State Gov paid for to make money.

GMBABCDEFGHIJ stadium is a pork barrel propped up by the AFL to kiss the Corio scum on the peeny.

It had more of the plot before they switched to just having Michael Christian.

Yeah, Christian is so far from having a plot

The MRP been a mess for a long time before Christian took over - I’m talking years or even decades. It’s a joke.

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like he copped one too many concussions himself back when he played, it might explain his nonsensical MRO decisions.

Seem about 10 tackles in origin already that would be life bans in the afl

Even their game 1 was ruined from a high shot with a NSW tackler sent off after 7 mins, but where the tackled player slipped and head dropped 30cm at the last millisecond. A lot of the rugby people say it was bad technique from the tackler, but still seems pretty unlucky when the guy getting tackled slipped.

Nah NSW scum tried to decapitate Walsh m7.

Watch State of Origin.
It's classic in the making!
Lots of perfectly executed tackles

Now a player on the bench gets sin binned but another player needs to cop the 10 minutes. Man I might stick with our MRP here

Cy Walsh likes this

 

[AvantGardener]

Send Reece off he just tried to kick NSW player head off

 

[zackah]

AFL worst officiating OAT?

Origin….hold my beer.

 

[Plugger35]

Thank god the AFL haven't introduced the send off rule, you can just imagine the mess that the umpires would make of that.
