Bumped - Runner-up medals

Does the AFL still hand-out runner-up medals to the players of the losing team on GF day? What a joke that is/was!!!! The AFL can be dead-set clueless sometimes - which player wants a runners-up medal? And now they want to give players who played in the drawn GF but not the winning GF a...

Doesn't the captain of the losing side speak? TBH, runner up get the financial windfall and that's enough.

One thing about NRL Grand Finals, and games in general, the professionalism of the systems and commentary is far better than the AFL equivalent.
AFL TV commentary is full of muppets barracking or trying to add their own brand on every piece of commentary. NRL while there is bias at times, at least it's people calling the game with some professionalism.

Don't even get me started on ARC vs the Bunker and the score review process.

[james Dean]

did you listen to the NRL commentary during the GF?? Half the time they critiqued the umpiring decisions & the other half they openly barracked for the Roosters who were “so brave” for defending their lead.

Ray Warren and Phil Gould are hideous commentators.
