2020 Non-Crows AFL Discussion

[1970crow]

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.

I don't think the Steven incident is a valid benchmark because his mental health issues have been well known. They go pretty soft on anything that could be related to a mental health issue. I don't watch the panel shows generally, so I don't really know how unfairly we're treated. I think they were pretty hard on the Saints there over the schoolgirl and dwarf burning. We're possible treated a bit harsher because we don't give them anything for their stories, which I like. I'd rather they be at us than in bed with us. I'd just prefer that we are a little less newsworthy more often.

I have watched the Sunday footy show 2 of the last 3 weeks and really enjoy it. They don't take themselves particularly seriously and get into each other a bit. It's good fun. Might be a bit more serious when there's games to talk about.

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

Again, these are different circumstances. All our players copped a suspended sentence and Hart 6 weeks. The AFL have strict guidelines in place, agreed by the state govts, to be able to begin the season again. Just like the NRL does and we've just seen Benji contravene. They are all in a form of quarantine where they only interact with people inside the bubble that are adhering to the same rules. If we weren't doing this, round 2 would not be happening this weekend.

You're not getting the comparison I was referring too .....all things equal, Wines has 2 weeks isolation now

Different year same victim mentality. Theo is a crows spy who PURPOSELY set Ollie up.

**** they're such a bunch of whiney little sooks

 

[briztoon]

Hey Mutineer, your second son is set to debut this weekend.

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?

The onus is on you to identify the breaches, not me. It's your show. What do you think he breached, you're pretty antsy about it, you must be able to explain seeing as it's a pretty strong position that your prosecuting.

To help, off the top of my head, the only additional control that the AFL put in place was limiting training to pairs only. I'm not aware of any other AFL players being with Jack at midnight that night and even if there was, you'll struggle to convince me that they were training. So, I am not aware of any AFL covid related AFL rules he was breaking. I'm sure you can provide them.

And the police case is entirely unrelated, it's probably got a little more to do with the knife that was sticking out of his chest than breaches of the state's covid controls. Either way, that's up to the police to issue him an infringement for any state related covid breaches. But, even if he did get one, I'm not sure how that would impact the AFL. Do you think Hunter's club suspension is related to drink driving or a covid breach?

Agree, that's all that should happen to him.

Decision on the Wines punishment being held up by Ports “but the Crows” argument

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

MGs - manufactured in China. All the more reason for me not to buy one.

The wines decision is bizarre considering I know first hand of at least 1 crows player and 1 port player who have had a handful of similar media engagements recently that passed unnoticed.

they certainly break the same rules Wines just got done for.

 

[MatthewB]

im not sure about the background crowd noise

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Are there fewer lights on with no crowd?

Seems a bit darker than usual

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Umpires in Richmond colours

Can the AFL stop employing colour blind morons to decide these things?

 

[GrommoT]

Makes me woozy hearing the crowd and then seeing no one in the stands.

We were extremely lucky.

Black lights matter?

 

[Scorpus]

Collingwood's team is so average on paper but they're killing it tonight

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

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

Although the AFL did say they would go hard.

Port supporter at work responded Hinkley when asked by a Crows supporter which coach do you want the AFL to do you a favour to suspend...No hesitation.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Richmond still in self isolation.

 

[FR0GGY]

Really?

 

[footy4ever]

Go pies! EAD Richmond.

 

[hey shorty]

Really?

Compared to Richmond's it does yes.

But they are all over it in the first quarter.
