Opinion What unpopular AFL opinions do you have? - Part 2

[Butcher Hicks]

You can all work out for yourselves as to why that is the case

No they can't, lucky I'm here to work it out for 'em.

So Gerard Whateley has already come out and said that the AFL has not got the technology to overrule the goal umpire in the Lynch case. The Richmond haters believe the AFL don't need the technology to overrule the goal umpire in the Lynch case and that they came to the right decision with the footage we've already seen, which is the only footage they have.

The proof that Richmond was screwed at the GABBA will come if ever the AFL get the technology Whateley says they don't have now, which is in turn proof that they believe they need it. But I ask, need the technology for what if you don't need it for shots at goal like Lynch's that the goal umpire said was a goal?

The AFL should have its clubs play at a country ground during the H/A season.

Have a proper country round/game.
Not one that's always at the 'G.

Also, venture into suburban grounds that aren't used that weekend.

Yep, the perfect example of trying to corporatise a theme. Sheedy didn’t think this one through at all, just looking for another blockbuster.

But if done right, it could be a great thing for regional footy. AFL would have to let go of the short term money grab to build this though, that would be their challenge.

Think yours is a great idea.

I get so sick of seeing the same 7-8 grounds yearly.

Change it up.

It was more varietous one time.

Why do you like him? Not even I like him and he’s been playing at Geelong for 7 years. Don’t care much for Gaj either.

Both amazing players with shit personalities.

You have just described me and my thoughts on hird.

 

[Corkintheocean]

Average AFL matchday attendances have peaked and won't retest the previous highs until beyond 2040.

 

[Cuzz09]

yeah can't improve by much

Maybe GWS and GC if they can fill their stands?

Obviously if every single game of the year was a packed sell out then they'll struggle to beat it but while there's improving to do there's a chance

Nic Martin is the Dons best player and if he plays at the stoppage he could win a Charlie

The afl system is weighted heavily in the Victorian clubs favour. And the afl continue to make more rules to favour them, and it won't change until 95 percent of AFL officials are not based in Victoria.

Novel idea for a thread. I only wonder why nobody's thought of it before?

We've underachieved and should've at least won 2013, 2016 and 2020 flags on top of 07, 09, 11 and 22.

You sure about 2016?

Winning be default because an opposition player missed after the siren then getting blown off the park in a prelim doesn't fill me with much retrospective confidence.

75-40 inside 50s our way isnt being blown off the park. Scott needed to adapt and didnt. We had the doggies measure and wouldve won that game had we gone thru.

44-5 at quarter time
69-20 at half time

I don't think inside 50's really matter.

But you probably do beat the Dogs the week after since you had that wood over them for years through that period.

 

[JohnZ]

44-5 at quarter time

I've watched the game a few times. We controlled the centre but butchered all our F50 entries. Score looks bad because we let them rebound with no defensive pressure. Was the pinnacle of Scott's blazé coaching style that culminated in mission accomplished. Glad we've moved past that now.

Closer in 17 and 19 than 16.

JohnZ.

Since 2007, are 2012 and 2018 the shittest seasons?

Was 2015 the season that needed to be had?

 

[Blackhawk42]

Daicos, Newcombe, De Koning was the greatest top 3 in Rising Star history.

All 3 are such different players it's also nearly pointless trying to compare them to one another. You can make a legitimate case for any of them having the better season out of the 3.

 

[Wargreymon90]

Daicos will play 300 games and have a good career. But he does not have the ceiling to be the best player in the game

'So biased': Brian Taylor commentary slammed during Collingwood loss

The Channel Seven AFL caller has been called out by angry fans after Thursday night's game. Details here.

My unpopular opinion was that BT was right, at 3 quarter time it was 30 and I was (at the ground) saying to my mate, kick the next 2 and you're right back in it. BT smashed for saying the same thing. Collingwood can score very quickly with their game plan.

We can't all be on the same stratosphere as JHF now

It’s almost like Channel 7 wanted people to keep watching and not change the channel…
