Indigenous All Star game

[NUFC Tiger]

I'm looking forward to it (maybe because my team is going to play!).

In all fairness, I'm just glad I'll be able to see some AFL again. Sure the standard and intensity might not be the same as 2 top 4 teams going at it but will be good to help my footy fix

 

[magic_johnson!]

Carlton's first intra-club match is Wednesday morning, so you will actually be a couple of days behind as far as "match simulations" go

Geelong and North have been doing 'match simulation' together every week for about a month, and all clubs would be having intraclubs this week if not next :/

 

[Bazzar]

And how many of the Richmond players will actually be involved in the game? I would expect the side to be made up of, predominantly, fringe players and youngsters fighting for a spot at the start of the season.

Not so. The side was announced today. Its not a bad side.

Interesting. Says here NITV will televise it.

 

[Righteo]

just my personal speculation (no inside info at all), but knowing the AFL they probably insisted on x number of cameras, highlights and replays, half time interviews, etc.

TBH I don't give a stuff about bells and whistles for this kind of game, just wanna see some footy

Man that sucks, I've caught the odd game on NITV before and I reckon their coverage is pretty decent, not a whole lot worse than ABC's WAFL coverage tbh.

Bolded is spot on.

Friday night (Melb time 8pm-10pm) NITV are listed as showing live rugby league from Brisbane, between 2 indigenous teams. Nothing I see in their schedule lists the IAAS v Richmond game.

It's the same in Perth, no wonder no-one watches NITV.

That would be news to NITV, as they have said on their Facebook page that they wouldn't be showing it and provided the link to Richmond's web page. http://www.facebook.com/pages/NITV/91116257004

The Sun article did say the station NTIV would be broadcasting the match, so maybe we've got another free view station

 

[Righteo]

They didn't say when they'd broadcast it though did they? Judging from their usual sports presentations they'll be airing it sometime in 2015.

Yes i know which is why i said dont take the H-S's word for it.

 

[jimbler]

It's on AFL.com.au as well. I get the feeling the AFL don't want to undermine the start of the NAB Cup next week, so they aren't interested in getting this televised on NITV etc...

You can't honestly be comparing, what is essentially an intra-club match for Richmond to a representative match in the NRL.

Here is the "All-star" squad

Indigenous All-Stars squad:
Adelaide: Cameron Ellis-Yolmen, Graham Johncock, Jared Petrenko
Brisbane Lions: Ashley McGrath
Carlton: Eddie Betts
Essendon: Alwyn Davey, Courtenay Dempsey, Leroy Jetta, Nathan Lovett-Murray, Patrick Ryder
Fremantle: Jonathon Griffin, Joshua Simpson
Geelong: Bradley Hartman, Allen Christensen, Steven Motlop
Gold Coast: Harley Bennell, Jarrod Harbrow, Steven May
Greater Western Sydney: Shaun Edwards, Curtly Hampton, Gerald Ugle, Zac Williams, Nathan Wilson
Hawthorn: Jed Anderson, Amos Frank, Lance Franklin, Bradley Hill
Melbourne: Aaron Davey, Neville Jetta
North Melbourne: Lindsay Thomas
Port Adelaide: Brendon Ah Chee, Jake Neade, Chad Wingard
St Kilda: Terry Milera
Sydney Swans: Tony Armstrong, Lewis Jetta
West Coast: Josh Hill, Murray Newman, Sharrod Wellingham
Western Bulldogs: Brett Goodes, Liam Jones, Koby Stevens

How many of those players picked in the squad would make a starting 22 in a top 4 side, let alone a supposed "ALL STAR" side ??? Just out of interest I bolded those players who are draftees/have played less than 20 games of AFL football. So 19/42 of the players from the squad have barely played a game of football/just been recruited into the system.


And how many of the Richmond players will actually be involved in the game? I would expect the side to be made up of, predominantly, fringe players and youngsters fighting for a spot at the start of the season.


The nrl's game at least appears to be a representative game, with two strong teams playing against each other. No disrespect to Richmond or the indigenous all-star players, but those expecting the game to be more than an intra-club match will be in for a rude shock, and honestly it isn't expected to be more than that by most people.

Don't worry about how many of them would make a starting 22.
I would be more concerned about how many are actually indigenous.Where is Mundine when you need him?

Oh be quiet!

Go find something else to do if you're not interested.

Buddy not playing

Where did you hear this?

 

[SSSSSS]

Where did you hear this?

HFC website. Had a Bakers cyst pop behind his knee. Will be involved in a coaching role instead.

 

[se17enteen]

As a Freo supporter I really care for Buddy's welfare.

 

[Engimal]

At this stage its not on FTA or fox but the RFC website is streaming the game live.

That's ridiculous.

 

[Spiritsof82]

Think there's more players of Anglo-saxon decent in the so called indigenous side than there is in the Richmond side.

 

[Righteo]

I had no idea Koby Stevens was indigenous, more surprising than when I first found out Griff was.

Would quote more, but I think the AFL site is crashing.

U Freo supporters are getting quite ahead of yourselves.
