Opinion Non-Crows AFL 6: This Is Getting Cruel

[WaynesWorld19]

Its really a huge issue in terms of credibility and integrity of gambling on the AFL, which the AFL endorses.

Allowing the Coach's (Scott) to continuous late change players on match days, must infuriate gamblers .....I know it infuriates Fantasy Sports Players

A lot of punters on the forum, tend to find out bits and pieces here and there on match day, the actual trick is knowing/reacting to a player being a late out, before the betting agencies.

Some are slow to respond and therefore provides an opportunity to arbitrage, ie risk free betting.

One forum that is on 24/7 during the season is the Punting Board, Ive seen conversations from 11pm to 6am on the weekends especially, lol.

Number 2 pick loose in defense… what a waste. People could say Hodge did that but he was loose in defense because others actively maintained distance so he didn’t thump them

Lachie Whitfield, Brendan Goddard, Luke Hodge, Callum Mills

 

[Ramify]

For us who never saw Lukosius as a pick #2 .....but more a Jack Watts clone .....Drafted as a future fwd, it looks like he's going to be hidden in the backlines ....as another bruise free player, living off his kicking prowess

But that kick falters under AFL pressure ....

The Suns top five Suns draftee who needs a big pre-season

“I think if they’re going to be a serious team, he’s got to play like a top draft pick.”

I watched this kid a bit growing up.
He never had a bruise free thought before he was drafted to GC.

It's absolutely crazy GC playing him down back, WTF are they thinking
They should have had him playing HF from the start

 

[baldandbroke]

Except their wallets ! .....and now, the trust of the public

Only one umpire, they caught the guy … now the AFL is clean.

The sub is garbage
You don't need him if you already have 4 on the bench

We started with two on the bench, then three and now four.
Get rid of the sub FFS

Then it went back to 3 + sub
Then back to 4
Now 4 + 1

Hinkley is on board, he wants less on the ground more on the bench

So exactly what we already had this season but the abuse of the rule now being allowed.

Great

Which every player and Coach hated ......a very strange move by the AFL to go back to a system, that has already been shown to be a failure

One of the greatest cinematic scenes in movies. The coming together of two great actors for coffee. Heat is one of the greatest crime drama's ever.

Then it went back to 3 + sub

Now 4 + 1

Wait till peak madness when anyone in the entire squad is on the bench can play on game day.

The AFL can't make up it's mind between slowing the game down & teams being hindered by injuries...

I think it will get crowds, depending on the fixtures. Plenty of support for interstate clubs plus the novelty factor.

And games are free for members of AFL clubs. Everyone likes to get something for nothing.

 

[kirky]

Faaaark please tell me that dropkick wasn't really a Panther supporter..

You didn’t know that.

So funny.

Sounds good, it means we would be getting closer to multiball.

The next evolution will be allowing the Coach to come onto the field to give instructions and play.

I mean - it takes out the middle man (the runner)
So clubs can reinvest their money into something useful.

Dangerfield and Scott must have asked for it….

It will be 2 days before the season starts that they introduce subclause 2.1a(i) where if an injury occurs after the sub has been activated, the player subbed out can come back on, but only if the injured player is reasonably expected to miss the next match. To ensure no abuse of this, a sick certificate has to be submitted to the AFL Monday morning.

Seriously, why don't we just leave the rules as they are.

Do we really need 5 on the bench, there's only 18 on the field?

Not sure why you've Haha'd this WaynesWorld19, I'm being serious.
