Opinion Non-Crows AFL 10

I think you are missing something there. If you are still playing each other twice how do rewarding 2 points make any difference?

Because people complain about those that get to play north twice vs those that play, say Sydney twice.
in this situation you can only get max 4 pts vs each team over the year.

Don’t mind it

Just heard a pretty good idea on radio someone came up with, that for all teams you play twice a year, each game is only worth 2 points, so effectively you can only get 4 points against each team in the comp.
The only downside I can see is the ladder wouldn’t be correct until the end of the year, but we have the same until all the byes are done currently.

Can one of you nerds do the ladder for this year and last if this applied?

Last year would be interesting.

It’s still not ‘fair’.

If you beat a top team, you have to do it twice for it to count vs other teams that only have to get up once.

Teams playing west coast and north twice still get the chance to rest players an additional game etc.

The only fair way is to player everyone twice, once home and once away.

Since that doesn’t work, it should be play every team once. Every year switch who is home and away.

And I know I’ve said it before, but doing this would allow for an extended finals series. I’d do best of 3 series, 1 v 8, 2 v 7, 3 v 6 and 4 v 5. No advantages once finals start other than an easier/harder opponent.

I feel finals lose steam after week 1. We should be watching the best teams perform, not 3 games in 5 weeks for top 4 team that wins out.

It means that the two games played against double up teams are worth a total of 4 points. It means that there are a total of 4 points on offer for each opponent (as distinct from each game) over the course of the H&A season. It thus reduces the impact of having a "hard" or "soft" set of double-up opponents.

It would make games against finals rivals you only play once pretty high stakes.

being given praise in his retirement from the AFL, like he is some kind of hero, is gross.

Should not have been playing.

Aren't they always?

WTF .. I have no idea why he isn't actually wearing the shorts?

At least there's a pair on display

That's incredible.
Great focus in on the package . Unbelievable.

Had someone suggest once that should get premiership points based on how many points per game minus how many points points your opposition kick or something

Is that like the 12th Man's Sidchrome team of the year, made up of players who look the most like spanners?

lol just trying to remember were i heard it, it was at the time people were complaining about overly defensive low scoring games, it was like a Premiership point per 25 points scored but you lost one for every 50 points or something stupid scored against you

 

[FR0GGY]

Wonder if the spoon will matter this year or does the sanfl suddenly not mean anything?

Earlier Port using precedent of former similar incidents.

I thought precedent wasn't taken into account at the tribunal....?? Anyone??

 

[Tex Danger]

So after 27 years they finally were able to equal our record of 2 flags in the AFL. It took us just 7 years to win 2 flags.

They can come back to me when they are ahead of the ledger, not when they are equal.

But if we’re both on 2 they’ve done it in less time now…

We got there faster but have sat there and if we have equal number by your measure that would actually make them better in present time

So, you need to be in a union to throw the light switch, eh?

Strange vibe at this Friday night game

Probably our two biggest challengers for the most disappointing team of 2024 title

(I'd add Essendon to the mix but no one's disappointed to see them fail)

At least both their coaches have won a flag... which we can only dream about.

I'm only interested from a footy tipping pov.
1st in 1 comp & 3rd in the other.
