The Monday Soapbox - R3

[GVGjr]

Have a rant about something that annoyed you for this round.
It could be the AFL, umpiring, Kane Cornes, Channel 7 commentary, Rules or even opposition players etc

Food outlet opposite Aisle 31 level 2.

They never ever have food ready at quarter time, half time. They are meant to have a cabinet with sandwiches, but there were only two and two empty shelves.
Yesterday they didn't have a lot ready before the game and it was lunchtime.

My rants this week

The jumpers worn by lolNorf and Carlton on Friday. There is no colour clash. That hideous jumper Norf wore, blue, purple and green?? It was probably related to a cause, I assume. but I much prefer teams in their traditional jumpers. You can then immediately identify who is playing.

Kane Cornes did himself no service with his childish attack on Trent Cotchin. It was school bully stuff and not funny. I think he shamed himself and I normally don't mind his views. But this was pathetic. His colleagues who guffawed along with him are no better.

Kelli Underwood. Terrible voice and no idea who is who, tries to make up one liners that are corny as hell.
The West Coast barracking in the box.
Not opening the roof so the grass could dry out.

The huge queues outside the match yesterday at 12:30, for a match of only 23,000 people. It was like Marvel had never admitted people to the ground before.

Hell yes. That North abomination looked like somebody ate too many skittles and spewed up all over the jumper.

Can't agree with you here Doc. Ch 7 are supposed to be a professional multi-million dollar host broadcaster of the footy. That Cotchin segment was utter trash that would have been cheap and nasty if it was a high school project in visual arts class. It deserved all the scorn and ridicule it received.

As an aside, the fact that Ch 9 have more footy content (some of it dubious ie: Footy Classified Monday night) than the actual rights holder of the code should be something that shames Ch 7. But then again nothing shames that shitstain of a network, who treat their viewers with utter contempt because we have literally no choice but to consume their garbage if we want to watch live footy.

Re: The Monday Soapbox - R3

That Cornes video was hilarious. Channel 7’s continued commitment to putting out the most milquetoast product possible deserves that sort of derision, the more mean spirited the better.

Re: The Monday Soapbox - R3

Okay I just looked at it and the 'EPIC' takedown is pretty tame. If that's the best the producers at Channel 7 can do it's pretty pathetic, nothing to do with Cotchin though I'm sure he's embarrassed by the call out.

Agree Ozza, they can't seem to get it right - open more gates, it ain't hard

Re: The Monday Soapbox - R3

Adjudication of too high.

Just go back to how it was FFS. If someone tackles close to the shoulders, a player shrugs and it goes high, call it high. Encourage tackles around the waist/ below the elbows. One it will make disposal by getting an arm free easier to help ease congestion, and two, it will make it easier for a player to break a fall to reduce the chance of a heavy hit to the head on the ground. Three, it's way less subjective for the umpires.

I feel like everyone's insane and I'm in the Twilight Zone on this one because it's so ****ing obvious to me!!!!
