AFL Game Day R13

Re: AFL Game Day R13

It's not sport anyone, its just manipulated entertainment. AFL is pretty crap nowadays, local footy is where it's at.

I went to watch my nephew play rep footy for the Essendon League today. Enjoyed it immensly.

There was no race the rocket at 3/4 time i was so confused.

The AFL has been slipping as a product for a while, this knee jerk rule change mid season because a coach had a sook is WWE stuff.

Re: AFL Game Day R13

I used to feel for the umpires but not any more. These guys can't help themselves. They're actively looking for something to call. You'd almost believe they get paid per call they make.

I can't watch this shit product anymore. This round has been absolutely tripe. People only watch in Vic because the weather sucks.

I’ve pretty much stopped watching non dogs games this year. It’s just a shit product. Like blending all the crap ever changing rules of a domestic T20 comp but with old school Pakistani umpiring inspired by bookmakers. Administered by the most hated politicians (overpaid, under qualified, self serving sewer rats). With lots of token gestures towards serious issues it actually has players/coaches contributing to.

If the dogs ceased to exist, I just would not watch the AFEL again. Not sure about football now even, more the ‘tap it on’ league seeing as no one wants to get the ball for being penalised with rule changes on the run. But we have a world class ‘tap the ball along the ground’ comp now. So that’s something I guess.

So that’s three games today with a team having the lead taken off them by a rubbish free kick inside the last two minutes.

Good thing we all know that the umpires aren’t in it to influence results because otherwise we’d have to ask some questions.

Plenty of #CoNtEnT this week for the AFEL. The talkback switchboards are already lighting up on SEN.

Manufactured umpiring controversy is not a bug, it is a design feature of the AFEL modus operandi. Endless media coverage will ensue - sponsors and stakeholders are licking their lips.

bt, well said. I feel the same way with opposition games. It is my loyalty for the doggies I watch footy still.

3rd quarter, 5 mins to go, doggies had 5-20 frees vs Lions
finished up 16-24 count.

HTF is that possible we gain 11 frees in in 1 quarter and 5 mins
first half 7 htb against us.


If that is not blatant cheating.

I am done watching AFL footy, cannot even be bothered watching the highlights anymore.

AEFL city hall clowns have contorted the rules and complicating everything now.

Players are not rewarded when they win the footy first now.

The AFL have tried very hard to ruin the game and the umpires have followed suit.

Grundy will not get the votes or plaudits but he single handed got the swans back into the game against Geelong in the second quarter.

Not bad value at $600k a year for the team he is playing for. It hurts to see him smashing it when he was available for every club 18 months ago. Would have also saved valuable bandwidth on this site not talking about Lobb instead.

I've also seen Cripps, Hewett and Kennedy take ruck contests for the Blues. Very #BevoBall.

Has Carlton not got a second ruck for support?

They used to use McKay.

McKay is the second ruck.

Normally Pitonet is their first ruck but he is injured.

Will be interesting what they do come finals.

Watch the game or the stats? Carlton were over 30 in front mainly because of DeKonning. Went off and the game changed.
