I do not like Cripps in the slightest but I am in full agreement with him and have been saying the exact same thing for years.



Put a few players in a room with some umpires and coaches for an hour or two and they’d make more positive changes to the game’s rules/interpretations than the AFL organisation has made in 15-20 years.

The AFL don’t seem to be in touch with what fans want. We just want a game that is entertaining (which it is anyway without the AFL’s BS) and that where we can fully understand the rules.

Occasionally someone comes around and does a Joel Bowden and makes it essential to make amendments on the fly. The majority of changes the AFL has made to rules/interpretations nobody asked for or desired though.
 
What was particularly wrong and foul about the Cripps Brownlow rort was that it rested on the back of a procedural fairness technicality. In any other rule-bound system on the planet, when a ruling is found suspect owing to procedural fairness, it doesn't get over-ruled or waved away, it gets sent back to the jurisidiction of origin to be re-tried fairly.

The Cripps snowjob will be exhibit A when a chronic traumatic encephalopathy class action gets up against the AFL and its pathetic lipservice to protecting the head.
 
What is his age? It isn't if it takes him to free agency.

Drafted 2019, is a free agent end of 2028. He signed until end of 2027.

It's a smart move.

Tasmanian list management begins end of season 2027, and they are talking about having off the salary cap cash signing bonuses for players to join them.

Players we have coming out of contract end of 2027:
Serong, Chapman, Ryan, Young, Simpson, Walker

As long as they don't sack him before playing us.
Leaked player texts on them wanting him out and a presser tomorrow. They can sack him before us, just not the game before us. Give that new coach bounce some time to flop

Yeah this week is fine. Get their bounce over the next fortnight before phoning in the rest of the season.
 
could be three blokes out of the team just being upset they aren’t playing, suspect you’d typically have one or two upset they aren’t getting a gig and wanting a coach to give them a chance
