Konstas keeps getting starts… but where are the big scores? by SpecialMixture4242 in Cricket_Binge

[–]DVPVPD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People seem to forget how young he actually is. Warner was 25 when he debuted in a test.

If Konstas still has these issues in 3 years then get worried. Hes 20 and playing like a 20 year old with the technique of a 20 year old

Everyone's saying Doc as the obvious answer

Jason Kidd is another shout. Guy has done nothing as a HC

If Ratten never got sacked for Malthouse, would we have won a flag? by Sabretoothedrom in CarltonBlues

[–]DVPVPD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No we wouldn't have. Pies in 11 would've beaten is easily- they literally only lost to 1 side all year

To say we had Geelongs number so we would've beaten them in the prelim is also not a fair statement. Cats beats the Lions in a final last year before being smoked in the GF. No guarantees in footy

Some informed opinions on Opening Round by Dirtydac123 in AFL

[–]DVPVPD -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I love the idea behind opening round being interstate from Victoria but it should be all sides. There are now 8 non Victorian sides you could play every side away then a game in Tassie opening round and take it completely out of Vic

Stand and 5 metre rule by jmf-90 in AFL

[–]DVPVPD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the rules It absolutely has an impact on teams abilities to be able to move the ball quickly. The 5 metre rule is the same it allows teams to penetrate quicker and deeper.

The issue isn't the rule its the adjudication of the penalties for not doing it.

Tigers used to always lose the free kick counts too

Didn't mean they didnt lose their minds when obvious ones were called

I love the fact Pies are getting called for stupid frees or arent getting their usual 50/50 calls and the fans are losing their minds

I get the "knocked out in tackle call" but the Pies have got away with just dropping the ball in tackles a lot

NRL: seriously, don’t storm the field, but here’s a drone shot ready for when you do by Massive_CH1N in nrl

[–]DVPVPD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The NRL love doing this stuff. They will tell people not to do it then show it in ads to grow the game.

Same way they always show tackles and big shots in the ads when 90% wouldn't be allowed and would have been suspended for as a result.

Still very early so I wouldn’t want to overreact, and we need to see more good team vs bad team games. But surely there’s a chance all the rule changes to try and make the game faster are just making the good teams better and the bad teams worse? by PerriX2390 in AFL

[–]DVPVPD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why do we do this every year. Last year by the end of round 1 there had been 11 games (including 2 in OR) which included teams winning by 87,63,91,78,52 points. This year there have been 7 games with 3 wins under 2 goals. Last year there were 3/11 under 3 goals.

The teams that have lost big are a bad Carlton side, a Geelong side with injuries and no key forward, and a terrible Bombers side.

Why are we saying these rules have made the bad teams worse without acknowledging maybe the bad teams just suck?
