yeah, the point was they clearly (and imo, rightly) see the VFL side as more important to create some level of consistency and experience to let their listed players develop to play the system they want, which is much much harder when rotating kids through who might be playing for their 3rd or...
when you hand in your pre finals bye article three times a year for ESPN, do you write it from scratch each time or do you just change a few words around from the same basic article
the issue is with mt Gravatt that they don't want to compete as a club, those in charge want to put equal $$ into the women's team which is noble but they don't have enough to do it and compete at AFLQ level. Will be a shambles of a year and then they'll go the Sandgate rebuild route
he's better as a special comments guy where he can be a little more considered rather than a straight caller where he gets caught up and just yells in big moments
there is nothing more certain that some players won't get checked out just before finals if they cop a head knock that isn't an immediately obvious concussion. not saying it'd be bright to do so, but when a flag is in the offing - even at community level - the long term can often be set aside
this has been true forever though, yes part of it is a cultural shift where kids move onto other things but there's also wayyyy less connection with clubs now as the really good ones spend so much of their time outside the club at academies etc
pisser to spend five minutes lamenting how much more relaxed about off field stuff US sport is, then twenty minutes later crap on about Melbourne and their culture etc. as much a part of the reason as anyone
he starts every sentence unsure where it's going to end and knows his default is to ramble for 20 seconds in a five second window, thus tries to hurry himself up. it's a pisser
AFL charging, what, 10+ times for the footy now compared to 2002 probably an impact on why the channel sucks now. all the money is in the live games, everything else on the cheap
that's all we can ask for out of our commentators, during the crucial last minute of a close game with finals implications we need shitty puns about unwanted marital sex
weird one scoreboard wise. Would have had 80% of the play q1 but came into quarter time even. Missed a lot of shots that should have probably had them evenish at half time but instead were 20 points down, then a procession after half time
what if jack silvagni's flying shot for goal in the dying seconds of the first close pies win in their streak last year actually went through
what if ollie florent's kick vs port goes through and the port streak doesn't start
where do you stand on bookies asking for selfie pics holding ID/credit cards, seemed a completely laughable request to me even though it would take me 30 seconds to do
I've done it lots as well. I know it's not hard. But it's something for someone to do, someone who has to be responsible for it the whole game. It's just one more thing, I think it's great but sympathetic to clubs who have limited volunteers. "Five second job" the other guy reckons
