Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have? - Part 2

The kids home is listed as to where the parent of who has custody of the kid lives.
You can''t put down two addresses to schools when they start school

Shared custody is default. If the parents cant come to an agreement, the family court can force one.

And yes you can put two addresses down.

That's like the East Coast Rugby League that the people north of the Murray seem to like.
No representation from the majority of the states but somehow they regard it as a national competition.

We all knows it not. It was a comprise to end the Super League war.
They do have a overseas team in their comp which we don't

Sounds more like a bad experience, as opposed to a minor administration task.

Which specific school are you referring to?

not one particular school, but that is it is.

They also allow you to put a street address, and a PO box address.

For both parents.

They do, but not for permanent address

 

[Billy ray]

My kids have two permanent addresses at school as they are 50-50 shared between my ex and myself

State of Origin should be left in the 90's. It's an outdated concept and if it came back, nobody would actually care about it, just like nobody cared about International Rules.

Totally agree- it's just a nostalgia thing. Remember when they brought back Hey Hey It's Saturday

 

[MortlockWatcher]

Talking about nostalgia - someone has got to bring back Polly Waffles. It's been too long without them.

SOO was awesome until the players stopped caring about it.

If you look at the NRL players will put everything they have into playing for Qld/NSW even if it means risking injury or suspension or just missing club games before/after.

By the time SOO wound up in the AFL it was a running joke how many players would pull out with minor injuries at the last minute. While we stank that year and it didn't really matter Daniel Kerr got injured in the 2008 Vic vs Dream Team game and missed a couple of weeks. AFL clubs do not want that happening under any circumstance.

The "greatest State of Origin game of all time" (WA vs Vic in 1986) had fans crammed into every corner of Subiaco Oval. There was no AFL so that was the pinnacle of footy seeing the 3 state sides play. The last time WA hosted a SOO game was vs the Allies in 1997 and you couldn't give the tickets away.

1) Skilled stadium is nothing more than a basic suburban football ground that has no place being a centerpiece in today's top flight comp, but the boys up the road in Melbourne don't care and will never really put up the $$$$ to bring it up to scratch

2) Fremantle is the Western Australian equivalent of Adelaide. Has the money, the fans, ect...... but are incapable of delivering any sustained success.

3) West Coast still has a recreational drug use issue

4) GCFC and NM need to merge and relocated to Tasmania for either one of them to have any relevance

This is a basic suburban football ground

*shoutout to the people of Morwell

This is a suburban ground, but bigger

*shoutout to the people of Port Melbourne

And this is Kardinia Park

Pretty big for a basic suburban ground

3) all clubs have recreational drug use issues

Too easy to just say Eagles.

Dunn's injuries have cost the Pies 2 flags.

Twiggy?

 

[FreeTK]

Tradition in AFL is overrated.

1. A twilight Grand Final would be awesome

2. AFL should make a distinction between VFL and AFL premierships eg Essendon has 14 VFL Premierships and 2 AFL Flags.

Seems to be unpopular. ..

The saints didn't have that great a trade period as is being made out.

Sold the future. Could come back to hurt them if their list doesn't hold up.

 

[TheFourPillars]

The saints have finaly wised up to the fact that draft pics aren't everything. Good for them
Ratts is already having an influence

 

[TigerKnights]

I believe an old school lightening premiership pre season is best for supporters/regional towns/the league and broadcasters.

People need to remember in trade period, as with everything in life - if you think you've got a bargain, it's only because someone was willing to sell.

True if your list dictates. They aren't in that position I don't think.
They brought in a quality wingman at a hefty cost.
Brought in a potentially handy key position player in Howard.
Brought in a good ordinary player in Jones.
Brought in depth in Butler
Brought in Ryder who played SANFL due to being dropped due to form.

They lost Acres
Lost Steven.
Lost Bruce for unders.
Lost all picks under 50 incuding their top 10 pick and next years 2nd.
Missed out on King.

It certainly isn't an overly bad period, but I dont think its deserving of any great praise.
