Making a mountain out of a molehill here but AFL clubs' naming stupid teamsheets is starting to piss me off. An easy example is this Saturday night:
Mark Blicavs is not playing as a half back flanker. Gary Rohan is not a full forward and Tom Hawkins is not a half forward flanker.
I don't mean to just have a dig at our next opponents, it is something I've noticed across multiple teams including Port at times.
I understand that football is not the same game it was 40 years ago, and that the concept of a specialist centre man or a specialist half forward flanker is dead. But surely, if you're a key forward, you should be named at CHF or FF. If you're a goal kicking small forward, you should be named at FP. If you're a rebound defender, you should be named at HBF or BP.
It's pedantic as all hell but it doesn't really give you any advantage and it means that for this game, Tom Hawkins will be noted as having played (or at least started) as a half forward flanker, which annoys me.
