That's not going to have a meaningful impact though.

More meaningful than continuing to pay Demetriou's wages.

What impact is your $600 a year Foxtel going to have on the AFL? It's going to have a far greater impact on yourself.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

That's like asking what one person signing up to this AFLFA thing is worth. Very little. It's about the power of aggregate, collective action, and 50,000 people withholding their cash achieves a damn sight more than 50,000 people signing a petition. Who gives a shit what the public think if they keep paying?

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Yeah, but 50,000 won't do that.

I'm not going to stop watching the Premier League in order to make a vague point that won't be noticed.

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Yeah, but 50,000 won't do that.

The league can't be doing that badly then.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

I agree with BTG, I like going to away games and watching Foxtel for more than just AFL..

 

[GUMBLETRON]

Then head office doesn't give a shit how upset you are by its management style, because you evidently aren't that upset.

 

[Ben the Gooner]

Yeah, I can't be that upset with the AFL if I want to keep following the Premier League.

 

[Whispering_Jack]

I don't see the correlation between wanting to see my team play live as much as possible as well as wanting to watch Foxtel outside of watching footy and how upset I am with the AFL...

in an act of protest, i'm gonna stop voting

 

[Old Campaigner]

So they finally got rid of Gieschen, I wonder if Campbell will be any good.

Nothing will change. You only get up that high the chain if you're a yes man willing to serve the higher ups agendas.

 

[Old Campaigner]

Yeah, nepotism and brown nosing make the world go round

 

[Beerfish]

I knew it wouldn't last long on the mainboard so I snapped it for posterity.

Unless my sense of humour is seriously mistaken, that's comedy gold for anyone in my age bracket.

Nothing will change.

Sure it will. Every time a team plays Richmond, the opposition fans will make at least 50 posts complaining about how the umpires are favouring Richmond because of Campbell

Pretty sure that already happened.

The Giesch coached Richmond.

[Howard Moon]

do they even need an umpires boss?

cant they just have a recording each tuesday on SEN that says "the umpire made the correct decision, the ball was flung free in the tackle therefore incorrect disposal was not evident"

 

[Phone]

Pretty sure that already happened.

The Giesch coached Richmond.

Gieschen isn't anything close to the Richmond figure Campbell is though. There will absolutely be an increase in dire posts relating to umpires following Richmond games.

(also now you're forcing me to over-analyse a joke)

But why do WC get off scot-free - They don't have a rep in the umpiring department.

We're not going to change drastically the way we play, what we've got to do is execute the way we want to play better.

"To get out to good leads against some genuinely good opposition I think showed some good signs, now we've got to continue on coaching what we were coaching last year, with some slight modifications and I'm sure we'll see results coming from that.

Never change, Brad Scott.

Beau Waters is a player rep on the rules committee. Jelly knees and head-high elbows for everyone.

Except that Beau Waters is about the only WCE player who actually plays in the spirit of the game and is a hard mofo. The Eagles are my most hated team (having grown up in WA) but Beau Waters is one of my favourite players in the AFL. Better him than any other Eagle, especially that w an ke r Dean Cox... Good news is that Ashton Hams and one of the Selwood's are no longer at West Coast.

Waters is "tough" but he's also a sniper.
