As you were

 

[gaskin]

Maybe it needs to be Media & Miscellaneous (in so far as it can be construed to be related to said media)

I'd say more not spamming the thread with Supercoach bullshit.

 

[Raz]

If

Maybe it needs to be Media & Miscellaneous (in so far as it can be construed to be related to said media)

if that the wish of the members, then jsut rename it MEdia... it not Miscellanous if it is related to the first part of thread title.

but it jsut a forum thread so it all good.

 

[Paracleet]

I'd say more not spamming the thread with Supercoach bullshit.

I often say mean things to people on here and I shouldn't. I try to ration myself at the least. (I wanted to say 'Shut up you stupid see you next Tuesdays and stop clogging the thread'. But resisted)

 

[Raz]

I'd say more not spamming the thread with Supercoach bullshit.

i still trying to work out what the Supercoach stuff is. Is that part of the Fantasy Football Links on afl.com.au

It is a version of fantasy but not the 'official' AFL one.

 

[DragoDelph]

I'd say as a once every now and thing, fine. Otherwise it should have its own thread if people are interested.

Though Tony_Clifton Maybe just refine the rules a tad?

 

[DragoDelph]

Just to be clear how my thoughts went.

First one: This is interesting.
Second one: Ok, this is a thing
Third: Oh no

 

[Tony_Clifton]

I often say mean things to people on here and I shouldn't. I try to ration myself at the least. (I wanted to say 'Shut up you stupid see you next Tuesdays and stop clogging the thread'. But resisted)

Looks like you couldn't resist and my feeling are hurt. The term you are looking for is campaigner.
And Drago, I'll make the rules as I see fit. Rule 1. : Paraclete is hereby banned for life from participating in anything remotely fun. (Don't worry I checked with Mrs Paraclete and she's fine with it.)

Interesting list I would have thought we would be lower.

Interesting list I would have thought we would be lower.

We are bottom 4 for scores from kick ins however.

Apologies for the intrusion.

Just in case this hasn't been posted.

A Perth footy festival could be one of many changes the AFL go ahead with to fix ‘not fair’ fixture​

The AFL is set to make major changes to its fixture headlined by a Perth winter footy festival in response to the Western Australian club’s cries of further equalisation for the league.

A winter footy festival in Perth will headline a long list of changes designed to try and equalise the AFL season.

and Eagles chief executive Don Pyke campaigned for fairer travel over a high-powered lunch at Crown on the eve of their round 6 derby.


The united approach from the Western Australian clubs came in the strong belief the addition of Gather Round last year – and an 11th match across the Nullabor – had tipped the scales.

Fremantle flew 62,000km in 2023 as some Victorian clubs clocked less than 15,000km. The Eagles will travel 58,000km this year.

’s bad corkie blew up in the cabin pressure returning from Brisbane last year.

“The AFL needs to look at it. It’s not fair on the WA clubs. We spoke to Jack Petruccelli a few weeks ago, and he was saying a year ago, or a couple of years ago, he got it really badly wrong, how to nurse an injury on the flight home.And he said he learned from that, and now he’s got it nailed. And most players have actually got the routine”

had called for a radical reduction in Victorian clubs. But Garlick and Pyke pushed for realistic change.

Multiple Victorian clubs would play Fremantle and West Coast during the Western Australia Day long weekend under one plan that would deliver the isolated clubs a bonus home game.

The visitors could then stay in Perth to play crossover games at Optus Stadium the following week.
Lighting up the west with four marquee matches on back-to-back weekends would create the big event atmosphere that the AFL wants, although the June 3 public holiday in WA would not align with Victorian school holidays.

Footy-mad locals selling out the 2021 Dreamtime blockbuster at Optus Stadium during Covid has opened the AFL’s eyes to the idea of a Victorian club staging a home match in the west.

A Victorian club could cash in on the generous stadium deal if it had flexibility in its tenant contract to move a game or if the AFL decided to extend the season to 24 games.

Freo went 22 days without a game at home due to consecutive matches in Adelaide for Gather Round and produced its worst performance for the year on return in the derby.

The Dockers also want the practice match they played at Alberton Oval on March 1 to stand as the last time the club ever travels before a season.

The Dockers were dealt consecutive six-day breaks to start 2024 while playing St Kilda at night in round 10 forced them to fly home five days before they played Collingwood.

They want easily fixed fixture complications such as these removed.

The AFL has made the MCG and Marvel Stadium available for a captain’s run this year while Dillon has acknowledged more could be done to promote the Derby national.

I mentioned an idea very early in the season but, apart from all of the above, we could even things up a little more for WA teams by keeping round zero but open it up to all teams (obviously change the name !) and both WA teams get an extra home game every year.
The big 4 Vic clubs can all go north and play the 4 northern teams as stand alone games on Thursday Friday Saturday nights and Saturday arvo. Job done for northern exposure.
Round zero was on a long weekend so plenty of time for the rest of the games.
Both WA teams then play both SA teams in WA on the Sunday and Monday (switching each year). Will even out the SA advantage from gather round and maybe start building up a bit of WA/SA rivalry.
This will give WA teams one extra home game each year.
The smaller Vic clubs will then be playing in the only Vic based fixtures which will get plenty of crowds from footy starved punters from considering the big teams are all away, bit of a win for them.
Given there would be an uneven number of rounds they may have to switch alternate years in which Vic teams get the extra home or away round.
One extra round so tv rights will go up, obviously player payments would have to go up accordingly and because there is an extra round that increases the double up fixtures which again makes it more even (unless you go to 17 games where there are no double ups).
Plus we all get an extra game at Optus !
