Oppo Camp Non Geelong football (AFL) discussion 2024, Part I

[Strange Cat]

Well that’s the Brions done

 

[Strange Cat]

Has me a bit worried in how much the lions are struggling to run after last week slog in the rain

Very worried that’ll be the same for us

 

[Gunf]

At this rate Brisbane will struggle to make the 8.. Top 4 is gone

 

[cats_09]

5 on the bench PLUS a concussion sub is ideal.

We had 4 on the bench, PLUS a concussion sub

But then teams complained that they were too restricted with the use of the sub and wanted it as an anything sub

 

[Vdubs]

If we have a concussion sub the same problem will happen

Coaches will bitch about being a man down due to a hammy/rib etc and they can't sub whilst the other team subbed a concussion and the AFL will bend and make it a sub for any injury. Then coaches will bitch that they didn't get to use the sub whilst the other side did due to injury which gave them a fresh player and the AFL will bend letting them use the sub for anything...... Repeat for ever

Just make it 4 or 5 or whatever number on bench and deal with it

Not so. Concussion is the only grey area injury where tests and time (20 minutes) is necessary. Player off, can (rarely) go back on if not a true concussion, but a player down is not fair, specially if sub already used.

Geez Brions are very very slow

Like i said we had that and coaches bitched and AFL bent the knee

5 plus concussion. Not extravagant. Concussion is the only injury where they may even introduce a special concussioin doc at each match. You can use your 5th as the anything sub, but if it was my jurisdiction, definitely a separate concussion sub.

Numbers won't matter coaches will bitch and the AFL will bend at the knee.. Don't give them the chance to

 

[Lana]

Are we the weakest 6-0 team in AFL history

It would take less than half a season for complaints about the requirement being too strict, the sub then gets opened up as an anything goes sub and within a couple of seasons the call will be for 6 on the bench

I have no issues keeping it as 4 & a sub - if they want to make it a concussion or injury replacement sub, then make it mandatory that the player subbed out automatically misses the next week and is ineligible for selection at any level

lol what?

If you ever get involved in team management, concussion is an anomaly. Effectively a player down for 20 minutes in theory, extending out to the whole match, dependoing on when. Don't ask me about > 1 concussion per team in a game, as that can also happen, but the concept of 4 bench, one sub, PLUS a concussion sub is ideal

Still, the concussion sub may not get used at all, great, hence the reason to alternate that player so that no player is a concussion sub twice.

I hope they keep him forever as that will mean they stay pretenders for ever

 

[BotsMaster]

Norf 2016 is.

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Hey this Darcy Jones kid looks the goods, I wonder where gws got the pick for him from

 

[Gunf]

Norf 2016 is.

They were 10-0 and almost missed finals

 

[Vdubs]

Are we the weakest 6-0 team in AFL history

NM 2016- 9-0, then finished 12-10

 

[Mr Meow]

Are we the weakest 6-0 team in AFL history

North Melbourne 2016. Look at their list that year and look at ours now.

Edit: I was very slow.

 

[Lana]

lol what?

Poorly phrased, every team we've beaten has been subsequently proven to be terrible.

 

[Gunf]

Green has destroyed Bris since half time

Let's hope it continues all year.

Blues humbled GWS last week, little anxious about Saturday, but I would be anyway as always.
