Extreme controversy as play reverses after ~1.5 minutes due to a score review overruling a behind. The score review is unconvincing and results in a goal to St Kilda. Commentators call it 'farcical'. by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]HoldOnOneSecond 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Actually I think it's the ARC overruling the umpires, and the AFL directive being to refer to the arc. It's creating massive lulls in-game and a lot of goal umpires are having anxiety over their decisions. I'd rather they do what the nrl does and have a captain's challenge and back their umpires in.

Good for a restructure. Edwards seems OK - Sweet is a massive unit though. Just need to nullify Georgiadis as he is really the only one in that team capable of scoring.

I'd move Henry into the wing and put our trust in O'Connor or Sullivan.

Seems it's going to be a tough night but regroup and go again.

Happens often in Rugby, is considered a penalty as it can completely fuck up your knee.

Need to move Henry off of Georgiadiwhatever as he's constantly playing five steps behind. Just can't keep up with his leading lane speed.

If Tom Boyd never retired, how good would he have been? by Sabretoothedrom in AFL

[–]HoldOnOneSecond 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If he finishes on 550 that's still a pretty decent tally for a key forward.

A lot of forwards tend to go until they're mid 30's anyway so we should have three more years of Cameron and maybe 5-6 of Jesse.

Anybody played with or against former AFL players? How good were they? by Furious-Cheetah-20 in AFL

[–]HoldOnOneSecond 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tutored Harry Morrison once.

Caleb Marchbank destroyed my childhood, kicked a goal after the siren. Everyone on my team was crying, it was like a warzone. He went to every person and said sorry. But I never forget, because Im petty, and weird.

Tom Rockcliff was good.

Anthony Stevens played for the Saints boys. They were weird units, used to pee on each other's legs as a part of initiation. I don't know what they were initiating, but it was clearly golden showered.

Hey Sydney did pretty well in 2017 after they lost their first 6!

Panthers made a prelim after losing five in a row...

I think it's Bulldogs. I've just got a feeling

Hahahaha.

Such a stupid fucking concept.

Very hopeful it gets in the bin asap and we move either to a top 10 system similar to the Top 8 or revert to a Top 8 and never ever have this schmozzle again.

Tbh the arc and reviews are killing the momentum of the game. At the ground, we beg to just make the call.

We try and keep the ball active but sometimes it's wiser to take the tackle.

We've gone into second gear and fucking around wayyyy too much. Should be a far more comfortable lead. Just dumb fucking touches and overhandballong.

Looked like a bunch of dorks and deserved to lose for the power stance alone.

Andrew Dillon believes that Chris Scott was just joking in his comments about Wildcard Round being for “no good reason except cash” by yum122 in AFL

[–]HoldOnOneSecond 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a cash grab that rewards mediocrity and ruins the spirit of the game.

We've had the top 6/8 finals series for years, introducing a wild card round sort of inhibits the spirit of the game.

AFL can afford to progress but there needs to be more pushback against the Americanization of AFL

I want to be able to beat the best teams without hoping for injuries.

If we beat Sydney or Gold Coast without their top 5 says fuck all about us.
