No Oppo Supporters 2023 General AFL Discussion - incl. AFL Grand Final

I've always believed there's no right or wrong leader, there's just the right leader for whatever group of players you have.

That said I still think GWS are Greene or bust and that's not what you want to be as a team.

The guy is just an alpha.

I think he is already the best captain in the league. Every GWS player would walk a little bit taller knowing Greene is on their team.

Curnow and Carlton benefiting well from playing WCE twice this year. He's kicked 19 goals against them this season.

Korn talked about the fact that Carlton and Adelaide played the twice, it ruined the credibility of the Coleman

I doubt the AFL keeps stats on it - but I suspect this round saw the most recalled centre bounces in AFL history.

Kingsley coach and Greene captain seems to have completely revitalised the Giants.

Which is good, as the annual feeding frenzy on their list by 'Southern' clubs is a disgrace.

F them

Cornes is worried about the integrity of the competition, meanwhile he actively campaigns for draft tampering.

Big news in the media with that shocker Tom Browne leaving 7 and relocating to Sydney and working for Andrew Pridhams company , he was a lawyer before making a goose of himself at times , Mitch Cleary will love this

I don't want to see the bounce taken out of the game but after this weekend I think it's time they do something. Our game was a joke with almost every single centre bounce recalled for a throw.

Given the umpires still aren't full time I'd rather they focus on not making shit decisions than bouncing a ball into the turf.

Imagine rocking up to court to find Tom Browne is defending you... May as well throw away the key...

AFL umpires have that rare requirement to bounce the ball or throw it in from the boundary. Not too many other sports require an official to not only be an impartial decision maker but also to be able to bounce an oval shaped bell straight.

I might be late to the party, but this is the exact frame Jamie Elliot takes the mark before he kicks the winning goal?
WTAF??
Was he given a free for some reason? Note the ump standing RIGHT THERE.

I watched in real time. Looked OK to me. Remember the WHOLE ball needs to cross the plane to be out. Not so sure that frame is in fact the exact time. Looks slightly later

They showed the replay at another angle. It looked fine from the other angle, this still seems to be a little after he controlled it

What has a plane got to do with it

What would happen if the bounce was taken out of the game?

Nothing really. Would just be another tradition and quirk of our game lost.

Also instead of asking "what time is the bounce?" we'd have to say "what time is the ball up?" or something equally insane like "what time does the game start?"
