Told ya everyone start flogging themselves off coz it’s close , wooopiii dooo , yeah let’s just forget about the corruption
its close and contrived
 
A stated objective of the AFL is equalisation where through the draft, trades, AFL financial contributions to clubs etc they seek to give all teams the chance to be successful over the medium term. MY QUESTION IS, does the AFL instruct umpires to give us a raw deal as we have had recent success and it's someone else's turn to be successful? I really suspect this is real and happening. I know it's sounds nuts, but it would be consistent with their broader equalisation strategy. Thoughts?
It’s not nuts I’ve seen enough to believe now 100% , throw in afl pay back for the supposed club whinging In covid , throw in Dan Richardson an ex employee of the club as umpires boss , thrown in Balme giving umps a spray at pre season and well OGorman, deboy , fisher , razor Ray just literally hate us pretty easy to see

We will never know...unless someone spills his guts about it all now and/or all parties responsible for said deal are dead and buried so as to avoid being sued in spilling their guts...
Only thing is to have transparency with the operations of the The AFL Old Boys Club...
Not sure how this AFL bull sheet about Team equalization is going to work with the stronger State sides wanting their share of success...
If equalization is the go with the AFL Old Boys Club...then with our 3 GF's we move to the back of the line and wait for North Melbourne to make their footy moves on the GF! Going to be a long wait!! Oh hang on G.W.S. is next...what about meeee says G.C.S....
Going to be a long wait...
 
I believe umpiring is wrong in a few ways and the AFL culture of blocking comments on umpiring is wrong.

We need to talk about rules and umpiring like every other aspect of the game.

It's been said a thousand times, the 50 mtr rule and its use is a blight on the game. That needs to be discussed because fans are getting really frustrated,.

When that ump gave that free kick against us for holding the ball in the goal square yesterday, I was at home on the lounge trying to visualise jumping the fence making a bee line to the ump, clocking the prick and wondering what kind of assault charge id be looking at.
What was the end result?

Turning the volume down on the TV so i didn't have to listen to Darcy justify the call.

heck i was pissed off.

I reckon I'd get hero worshipped by the Richmond faithful, slammed by Whateley on 360 as cowardice, a lifetime ban from the AFL and some kind of police assault charge

worth it.

Mansell or someone tackled one of their players running out of the goal square, he took 5-10 steps (prior), got caught with the ball. Ball up.....

Broady tackled immediately on taking possession - HTB......

I was yelling so hard thought id clear the house of all humans and animals. umps should be full time professionals and trained full-time like everyone else, also it's up to our rules committee to clean up the rules and simplify them. our game is way overruled.
