2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[1970crow]

So why exactly is Wines having a reporter in his house a problem?
People can go to other people's houses now, yeah?

The AFL got special approval to start their comp early by providing a control plan to the relevant governments. It included interviews only via internet or at the club. The players are effectively isolated from the rest of us.

 

[Punchy Bassett]

So I realise I can be a bit slow sometimes but I'm trying to work this out:

Wines is in trouble for having a local reporter in a state with zero active cases come into his home but

Steven is not in trouble for getting stabbed not coming clean to the circumstances with a police investigation still ongoing.

Is this right?

Have we gone totally crazy with some of the rules. I understand the need for a control plan being in place but some of the detail must leave us wondering who is in charge.

Laughable when they go on and on about heritage and the importance of their history. They 'have' to wear the prison bars because it's soooo important to their history. Oh, but we are happy to completely denigrate it by plastering an oversized sponsors logo over it and to completely overshadow our club logo (that we stole and copied) for the $$$.
Koch has zero interest in their actual heritage. It's just bluff and grandstanding.

It is laughable that they don't even know their "own" heritage (or that of the real Port Adelaide Magpies), their jumper was designed as wharf pylons not prison bars.

Although it shouldn't come as a surprise the Johnny come Lately Powah supporters don't know anything about the real Port Adelaide.

Not sure getting stabbed by an ex was listed in the AFL's isolation protocols

Yes but one is from a VFL darling club, Geelong, who has past players peppered through the media.

The other is from a Club located dangerously close to the Crows, Caro is investigating how Tex is involved, I'm sure she will work in the camp somewhere as well.

how tacky does that sponsor logo look?

"We need to wear the prison bar / wharfie jumper, 250 years, heritage, down to Earth, working class...oh, and MG is our new sponsor"

Yes, but there’s no commonality. To get approval to re-start the season, the AFL submitted a plan of controls. Wines has breached those, Steven did not. The AFL competition is now and will remain isolated from the community at large except in specific and controlled situations. This did not include random people rolling into your house.

 

[Thetrader15]

Please don’t suspend Wines, would prefer him to play.

We need his trade value to continue to decline for when he asks to leave again at the end of the year.

 

[Thetrader15]

Caro was remarkably calm on this issue last night.

It's also a reporter, so there's no way she or any other media would be objective there either

You do know that AFL players weren’t in AFL controlled isolation when Steven got stabbed though. He was only required to adhere to govt social distancing rules. These are new rules created so the comp can start early. Why does Steven’s name keep coming up, it’s totally irrelevant.

 

[Thetrader15]

Suspended suspension and Ken Hinkley to be suspended for 6 weeks.

Although the AFL did say they would go hard.

I'd prefer if they suspended all their other coaches and kept Kern in the box

Or that their real colours are pink and white...

"Our history is so important, also we've changed our home jumper, but history!"

About as tacky as the el-cheapo MG's are themselves.

It was more about how the media report two incidents (irrelevant they are different) from different clubs, they go harder on interstate clubs for ANY type of incident.

If they are celebrating 150 years why aren't they wearing their very first jumper the one they wore in year 1?

What's more confusing is the noise around Wines indiscretion, is nothing on the Crows players congregating on an empty Golf Course, after travelling together

Car broke the jetty.

I think they were planning to wear the blue and white hoop jumper in the heritage round

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Do Port ever wear their 2004 premiership jumper?

 

[Samcro24]

Do Port ever wear their 2004 premiership jumper?

Once in a game vs Brissy at AO I reckon. Must have been the 10 year.

 

[SugarShane]

Do Port ever wear their 2004 premiership jumper?

I reckon they wore it in a Brisbane game in 2014 to mark the 10 year anniversary, nothing since then though I think.

So you know all the exact details about the Steven case do you? Even though the police case is still running, you know for a fact he wasn't breaching any protocols be it Government of AFL based?
