Re: AFL Game Day R6 2021

Adelaide pretty accurate today 16.2

Maybe accurate but clearly are not organised with their medical sub!

Tom Lynch was clearly not fit or warmed up when he was called upon!

He still needed to get his ankles strapped and warmed up etc...

Just crazy.

I was watching it at the time. It was ludicrous. Highly unprofessional, and he’s not even 100% fit so no idea why he was even named the sub.

Adelaide had like 16.1 and a 30 or so point lead at the time too. They were rolling and this has probably gone some way to costing them a win, of which you’d assume there won’t be too many this year.

SEN were all over this in the morning. A huge missed opportunity that might have cost them a win.
You have to wonder the decision making that went into this.
If North did this they'd be accused of tanking.

Nicks has doubled down and said they planned it that way...

I think he was named 'sub' as they wanted the other emergencies to play in the SANFL and get some minutes...Lynch was nominally being rested BUT could play if needed.

I guess they were just playing the long game and it looks terrible now they have coughed up a 32-point lead...but has also been a great alibi. Teams win games playing one or two short all the time but the Adelaide boys have received a 100% free pass at this stage because of a 'player management error'. Sounds like crap to me. You can't hold off Hawthorn with a 5-goal lead? PLEASE!

No one has mentioned that the Hamill injury is the weirdest ankle sprain you will ever see. He tweaked it while in midair.

I think I would have just said "It's May".

COVID is yet to have it's say on this season either...

EXACTLY what i was thinking. Even with an interchange down you shouldnt give up a 5 goal lead to the Hawks.
