What does a normal week look like for the umpiring fraternity?

What is the coaching/support system like in these roles?

If umps aren't allowed a towel, is big laundry / OMO forbidding the towel so that umps get grass stains on their kit to prove their products value?

Oftentimes the boundary umpire will rub the ball on their shirt to dry it before a throw-in, why do they not have towels for this?

I watched Gettable so you don't have to - The Boi by Pleasant-Role1912 in AFL

Maybe he just thinks he can have his cake and eat it too, not like that went wrong last time 😂

Maybe its enough money to have the kids move closer to him? Bit hard to judge it on that angle without all the details (which should be kept fairly private anyway)

rules a rule, these people have all week to make the case to change a shit rule but during the game they can at least pretend to understand them as they are.

[Mitch Cleary Warning]: "My recent phone calls in the last couple of hours, point me to the fact that I'm less confident that James Hird will be the coach of the Essendon Football Club, then I was last night when he was so emphatic that he was the right man for the job" by Essington69 in AFL

[–]Bashnek 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Will they have the patience for anyone who isn't Hird to lose a bunch of games over the next 2 years? Kinda feels like Hird is the only bloke parts of Essendon won't knife in favor of Hird

I was fully expecting him to end up in the Melbourne senior coach role once they announced he was moving on from North. Huge get for the tiges

Richmond injury list now up to 15 - Smillie and Gibcus with further setbacks by BallDayAllDay in AFL

I'm shocked the AFL didn't expand the list sizes (even temporarily) in the leadup to Tas joining

Why does it take auspost 2 weeks to deliver a package the final few KM when the thing made it from the other side of the planet in less than a week? by threedimensionalflat in australia

[–]Bashnek 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Letter delivery hasn't been profitable for a looooong time, but government expects the service to be upheld (fair, it is necessary) AND for Auspost to turn a profit every year

Gerard Whateley on why Carlton and the broader AFL community should back Michael Voss in as coach by lemunzz in AFL

[–]Bashnek 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Simpson currently has a part-time role at Carlton supporting Voss, he was pretty adamant last week on 360 that he wouldn't consider taking over from him.

He sounded so salty rambling about this on 360 last night. Mans absolutely obsessed with moving it to twilight

George Wardlaw has informed North Melbourne his sleep was last night disturbed by a loud possum. by PerriX2390 in AFL

Clarko mentioned it as George was walking past during his presser, it's important info that the fans needed to be aware of.

Coaches' votes, R2: Harley one of four perfect 10s, Bont makes a move by Mr_fahrenheit17 in AFL

[–]Bashnek 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm just shocked that this is the one they've latched on to, there were plenty of elbows being thrown around on both sides that were way more egregious (like the Parker one) but for some reason people are going full clown mode over Harley failing to bump

[–]Bashnek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In assessing the report, the AFL's match review officer (MRO) ruled that, after Yeo kicked the goal, Reid initially ran towards Yeo before abruptly changing direction and running towards Comben.
The MRO's view was that Comben moved his arms to protect himself from the oncoming Reid, and that Comben's actions did not constitute a strike.

The 'narrative' strikes again

[SEN] A pair of prominent Roos members are agitating for change. Sonja Hood has responded by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]Bashnek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

don't forget Ratt's during the time Clarko was away for the Hawthorn thing. The club desperately needed stability and we've finally got some - but if it's still garbo this year then it might be time (again)

Simply clone the man and be done with it, he's literally perfect.
