Scripted games.

[Reality Check!]

Most analysis is


It doesn't prove anything though. You just listed a whole bunch of games that were close and had human umpiring errors. Thats all you have, the rest is a combination of your irrational paranoia and your own intellectual insecurity.

More logical fallacies. Think I'm done trying to convince your stubborn little mind mate.

 

[happy_eagle]

If you belive that most analysis is objective, then I applaud your optimism, and you must be young. Is it a misstype though?

I was saying that most analysis is not objective. I now see how it could be read otherwise

 

[happy_eagle]

More logical fallacies. Think I'm done trying to convince your stubborn little mind mate.

Keep using the same buzzwords, and continue your smug sense of intellectual authority based on nothing

To sucessfully argue that a conspiracy like this exists, you have to do two things

1. Identify that there are games where match fixing or simulation might have occurred (The Case Study)
2. Justify and link this directly to the AFL with solid proof of conspiracy (The Application)

Without proving number two, you have nothing

Will swans supporters ever move on from being salty?

Haha we just enjoy watching the dogs play without the umps assistance.
And the boos for the umpires at half time ...

 

[maddog37]

Talk about scripted, what about last nights state of origin!

 

[Reality Check!]

And yet ANOTHER one to the list. Adelaide vs Hawthorn

And yet ANOTHER one to the list. Adelaide vs Hawthorn

Prove it

You can't just look at each close game and go "IT WAS A FIX"

 

[TimmeT]

The OP



Bet the op thinks this was scripted too ?

 

[Reality Check!]

Prove it

You can't just look at each close game and go "IT WAS A FIX"

Did you even watch the game mate?

 

[happy_eagle]

Did you even watch the game mate?

Yes I did
I guess you are the only one who can see this rampant match fixing going on in the AFL. You are soo much smarter than everyone else, and definitely not a mentally ill basket case that forgot to take his meds

You're a lost cause then. Good luck in life, I'm done arguing with mental short people for the night.

How deep does the conspiracy go

Were Adelaide instructed to deliberately miss shots at goal in the last quarter?
What incentive do they have to do this ?
Who wrote the script for tonights game ?
Did they decide to give Adelaide a half time lead for dramatic purposes ?
Who ensures that the players don't go against the script ?
What would the punishment have been for Adelaide if they had decided to win that game ?
Are injuries written into the script ?
Was it pre determined that Betts would not play as well tonight ?

If AFL is indeed like WWE like you say it is, you will have no issue answering all of these questions

And yet ANOTHER one to the list. Adelaide vs Hawthorn

Nah we were shit

 

[GreyCrow]

Which game is the OP nominating this week?

And yet ANOTHER one to the list. Adelaide vs Hawthorn

Listen pal the troll has gone on far enough. You had your opportunity. I gave you 12 hours to nominate the game but you squibbed it. You cant now call the latest game as part of your conspiracy troll.

But hey you got me to respond so kudos for keeping me entertained

The amount of pre-determined outcomes has risen significantly this year under Gil McLachlan. Here are the list of games I've identified as being at least 60% rigged and I'll also throw out some players who are involved in throwing games.

Round 2:
Bulldogs vs Sydney: There is no question that this one was fixed. Can't have the Swans upsetting the Bulldogs 1 in a million flag unfurling ceremony. Just look at all the contentious 50m penalties in the last quarter. I know the Swans had a few injuries going into this game, but we saw this week how they absolutely ass blasted the dogs and the umpiring was very low key compared to this game. No doubt about this one.

Round 6:
GWS vs Bulldogs: Again way too much involvement from the umpires in this one. GWS should have won comfortably but free kicks were plucked out to the dogs to keep it a "close" encounter for the 60/40 bulldogs fans. In the end a blatant free kick should have been awarded in the dogs forward 50 but the umpires ended up giving the Giants a 50 meter penalty to ice the game. Just very suss all round.

Round 7:
Bulldogs vs Richmond: The dogs fought hard here but Richmond should have run out over the top of them. What was with that deliberate out of bounds? A very suss second half from Cotchin too.

Round 9:
Geelong vs Bulldogs: The bulldogs should have won this before the umpires intervened in the last quarter. It started with that blatant dropping the ball by Selwood which got called as a push in the back by Cloke. Then there was the run down on Bob Murphy where he got his kick away and got penalised for it. The bulldogs got nothing in that last quarter and the cats were able to celebrate their first game at the newly developed stadium.

GWS vs Richmond: Cotchin's disposals were rubbish in that second half. Again the Tigers lose in 'typical Richmond fashion'. Starting to see a theme? Richmond will probably get umpired to a premiership this year.

Round 10:
Geelong vs Port Adelaide: Just try and tell me this one wasn't fixed.

Round 12:
Hawthorn vs Gold Coast: Hawthorn could have pinched this, but contentious umpiring sealed the deal for Gold Coast. After the game Clarkson made a comment about the umpiring and the AFL goes WHACK! DON'T YOU DARE TALK ABOUT THE UMPIRING CLARKO, NOTHING WRONG WITH IT KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT

Carlton vs GWS: Carlton are a good defensive team, we know that. But the umpiring was an entirely one sided affair. Of course not many people outside of Carlton fans would have watched this one so pretty easy to keep quiet. Toby Greene should have sealed the deal or at LEAST tied the game but he didn't. 0 goals 5, very suss player.

Melbourne vs Collingwood: Collingwood fans had every right to be filthy in that last quarter. Rigged to the absolute shithouse.

SPECIAL MENTIONS:
These are games that could have been rigged but not 100% sure:
All the Essendon wins
St. Kilda vs GWS
West Coast vs Bulldogs
Brisbane vs Fremantle
Fremantle vs Richmond
Sydney vs Hawthorn
Collingwood vs Geelong

Now my players who I've identified as being AFL s:

Trent Cotchin
Sam Mitchell
Jarman Impey
Toby Greene
Patrick Dangerfield
Dustin Martin - not too sure if he's an AFL plant or working rogue for organised crime

I'm sure there's more out there but these are the ones I'm sold on getting extra $$$$ by the AFL for matchfixing.

Let me know what you think.

Corruption is rife in this day and age, match fixing has and continues to happen in sports all around the world, who's to say it has never happened in the AFL! Australia has an organisation that combats match fixing, so there's obviously a need for it!

How deep does the conspiracy go – I’ve got this one, Reality Check. You’ve answered enough questions already.

Who wrote the script for tonights game ? – The Lizard People.

Were Adelaide instructed to deliberately miss shots at goal in the last quarter? – No. This was just a commonsense decision by the Crows to ensure the pre-determined outcome.

What incentive do they have to do this ? – They avoid incurring the painful wrath of the Lizard People.

Did they decide to give Adelaide a half time lead for dramatic purposes ? – Yes. The Lizard People are smart like that. Keep the masses entertained, avoid revolt.

Who ensures that the players don't go against the script ? – The Lizard People have, how shall we say...methods for dealing with dissent.

What would the punishment have been for Adelaide if they had decided to win that game ? - See above.

Are injuries written into the script ? – No. Injuries are an unfortunate consequence of doing the Lizard People’s bidding. Better to cop an on-field injury than not bending to their will.

Was it pre determined that Betts would not play as well tonight ? - If Betts lights it up every week, the masses will become suspicious. People are not stupid (Lol, just kidding)

How deep does the conspiracy go

Were Adelaide instructed to deliberately miss shots at goal in the last quarter?

This is not information I am privy to. However there were some bizarre shots at goal from Josh Jenkins, some of which unintentionally went in I believe. He seemed to miss an easy run in goal on purpose during the last.

What incentive do they have to do this ?

The AFL throws a heap of cash at players willing to lie down in the fight.

Who wrote the script for tonights game ?

Again information I'm not privy to. Probably a bunch of marketing suits came up with it in a focus group and Gil liked the idea so he decided to run with it.

Did they decide to give Adelaide a half time lead for dramatic purposes ?

The score at half time was irrelevant and the umpires let the game go during the last 5 minutes of the 2nd term. The players giving it a crack for Adelaide lifted in this mini break, and an accidental goal by Josh Jenkins gave them an 18 point buffer.

Who ensures that the players don't go against the script ?

The Mafia

What would the punishment have been for Adelaide if they had decided to win that game ?

They probably would have reviewed the game and looked at how the players involved and the umpires tried to sway it. These individuals simply would simply get a smaller Christmas bonus.

Are injuries written into the script ?

I think that it's possible that Luke Brown took a dive. His injury was very suspect.

Was it pre determined that Betts would not play as well tonight ?

No he genuinely tried. I thought he played OK, just wasn't helped by the matchfixers bombing it into him against a taller player in Sicily.

If AFL is indeed like WWE like you say it is, you will have no issue answering all of these questions

Yep and there you go, I just answered them.

b-b-but you didn't know the NAME of the guy who wrote the script, proving you didn't answer it xD xD?

Like I said I'm not privy to all the details, I can just see a distinct parallel between genuine games and fixed ones.

Funny thing is, the umpire touched that ball in the middle of the ground, and from that point on Brisbane kept kicking goals #umpbias #scripted

What are your thoughts on Sydneys field kicking so far in the first quarter and the attempted pass to Buddy in the dying seconds?
