Can't wait for the WAFL watch

Fivey laying down the law in the Priddis thread. So many of the rabble calling him selfish, a s**tstain, a burden on the club, arrogant, delusional etc. now deciding that we're all on the same page so it's probably time to move on.

I just get pissed off when people try to rewrite history, or say they didn't say something they clearly did. Everyone has access to the search function right? It's not just us mods?

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Did enjoy the 'you're not god' angle he took, as though omnipotence is needed to hit ctrl+f

 

[Miguel Sanchez]

I was pretty sure I was a god. Darn.

 

[DanWCE]

The thread no longer serves a purpose. Id ban all the regular posters for a month and watch it die of natural causes.

 

[Biggie]

YOURE NOT A ****ING GOD GODDAMMIT

 

[Shupe]

"My post count suggests to you I'm not a troll".

Science.

 

[Biggie]

ITS GODDAMN SCIENCE BABAY **** ME

 

[Quinz]

Just close it with a picture of Matty with the Brownlow, saying 'case closed'.

Pants has the second or third most posts on the site and he's a bigger troll than anyone

Haha knew who Fivey's nemesis would be before I even clicked on the thread, the usual suspect.

I debate this with myself often.

Mass debate with yourself?

Am I the only one who doesn't get the "the game is dying, we need to change it, it's broken and needs to be fixed" talk doing the rounds? Every few years a new 'threat' to the game emerges, or a new tactic that people dislike, and after a few seasons coaches and playres figure it out, the strategy becomes obsolete and a new strategy emerges. It's a dynamic league that's cyclical in many senses. Is it just the flavour of the month topic (Goodes aside), or are people genuinly concerned with the state of the game? Has this not been one of the most balanced and unpredictable seasons in years?

 

[Ochre]

The game is ugly, the scoring is lower, and I'm all for change, I'm just annoyed no one seems to be considering what would easily be the smartest and simplest change which is to go from 18 players to 15/16

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Is it ugly though? Sure there's a lot more congestion, but the peak passages of play improve every generation as far as I'm concerned, as skill, athleticisim and specialisation increase. Yeah it's hard to not love the early 2000s brand, when there was plenty of skill and athleticism but the still the hard edge of the 80s and 90s left in the game, but the game still produces exciting moments at a rate consistent with previous years. And what happens when someone realises that two of the top three teams are playing essentially attack at all costs, play on whenever you can. If the Eagles or Hawks win the flag with fast, attacking football, do you think there'll be a mad scramble to emulate the Sydney method of football?

 

[Quinz]

I talk to people who are casual fans of the game all the time. They all think the game is better than ever.

Maybe we have too much investment in the game to see it from an outside perspective.

The best stuff is still sublime but the bulk of it does feel like it's getting progressively more bogged down with stoppages. Mind you, I watched the Wallabies v Boks test the other weekend and the amount of time they wasted setting the scrum and with the ref talking to the player was just ridiculous. Small mercies, etc. etc.
