I thought SafeWork
SA had already looked into this in 2018? Must’ve been a cursory glance.

Probably along the lines of what happened in the lead up to them being given an “exemption” to break quarantine

We were already on a hiding to nothing with the umps after David King's comments on Sunday, i.e Charlie is the most blocked for forward in the game , etc.

Now our opponents are due a square up.

FFS, my wife is going to hate me. She said "I'm not going if your going to carry on like campaigner"

Every time a Victorian coach complains there’s a Spanish Inquisition

 

[OneGreatClub]

Now things will get interesting

 

[PowerBaz]

Is anyone really that surprised?

But... was the same amount of chips in the smaller bucket? Elspeth?

 

[PowerBaz]

Bet we have never received an umpiring apology

Did we ever complain?

What does this even mean?

The AFLPA disallowed the proposed fixture unless AFL
Agreed to stop
The freeze on re contracting players

Surely there will have to be clauses written in to protect clubs financially due to potential changes to the salary cap that may occur over the coming years.

I think the umpires are being emasculated from the top imo. Especially with the holding of the ball decision you have to give them the rules and allow them to interpret the game on the field. There is not enough room to allow them to read the spirit of the game and as a result the pressure from the top is stifling their capacity on the ground. Its very difficult to umpire with one eye on the play and one eye on your masters.

I hope that Port get their bye between rounds 13-16 closer to the finals.

Missed decisions? Weren't there 50 odd frees in that game? They want more?

 

[snozulu]

The Crows will probably get looked after with a compo pick considering they were looked after when the AFL swept the investigation under the rug about the camp.

That deliberate early on was the worst of them all for mine

Or they'll take 1 away

Massive over correction coming up. I wouldn't want to be playing either Thursday night or against the saints this week.

Very Funny Essendon/Arsenal mash up:

 

[PowerBaz]

My Kayo problems solved.
iPhone to TV via this. Must of been the video card in my wife’s ‘PC’ which was rubbish...

 

[edgie]

The umpiring last night was atrocious....Crows benefited mostly but those umps do need a good kick up the ass or sent to div6 ammos..

The umpires need consistent leadership and direction... continually being told different instruction on how to 'interpret' rules from week to week by people who have never blown a whistle, is to their detriment as much as the game. Fix that first then worry about the individual performances.

 

[finbarr]

So the AFL made a knee jerk "adjustment" to the HTB rule after Clarkson complained and now Ratten has complained they are going to make another knee jerk "adjustment". Just leave the fecking rules alone you morons.

I can't think of another sport in the world that brings in so many rule changes that actually make the game worse.

While simultaneously boasting that it’s the greatest game on earth.

When’s the last time basketball or soccer — the two most universally-beloved games on the planet — completely overhauled its rules from week-to-week and year-on-year because they’re pathologically concerned about the product. Or aesthetic. Or onfield direction.

It’s mental.
