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

[Baudolino]

Why aren't the shorts even shorter

Why shouldn't we have the goal umpires wearing white coats again?

 

[frggr]

How long would you have liked it to have been?

Hang on - I'm confused. Did you think it was too long or not long enough? Your posts seem contradictory.

Are football jumpers really necessary?

 

[Kitcat]

I think scores should be allocated based off a probability heat map which takes pressure into account, with extra points given from using the non-preferred foot.

Why should a goal be only worth 6 points

The VFL made that decision in 1897 and got it wrong. It should be 5 points.

 

[Hinkley29]

Behinds should be worth zero points.

It should be most goals wins.

Most behinds to be used as a tiebreaker if necessary.

This is an interesting stat.

With improvements in science we now know that a knuckle based counting system is superior to a finger based counting system. Thumbs don't count.

Behinds should be worth zero points.

It should be most goals wins.

Most behinds to be used as a tiebreaker if necessary.

And after a behind the ball should return for a centre bounce

Maybe 6-7 but 5 seems reasonable all things considering…it’s not a perfect system and never has been

Agree it’s odd

The posts starts of saying it was too long and now the poster is asking how long it should had been

Very confusing posts

Get Warrick Capper to design the next set of playing gear

He'd only do it with crayons

How many times do you think he was concussed in his career?

This actually would have made things a lot easier lol

This is an interesting stat.

I mean there's only 3 of us so far this decade.

That I don't know, but it wouldn't have helped that's for sure.

Yeah but on the plus side, generations of Victorians grew up with a better understanding of their six times tables than the rest of the country.

Man I learned my 6 times tables so early

 

[CatToTheFuture]

haha I was thinking 20 was in the previous decade

 

[cats_09]

haha I was thinking 20 was in the previous decade

Would the decade go:

2020 - 2029, then 2030 to 2039 etc

or

2021 - 2030, then 2031 - 2040 etc

I was thinking that 2020 is part of the 20s as 2030 would be part of the 30s

Guess it depends how you define the start of the decade
