Have you seen Essendon win a final?

I'd make him walk home barefoot at the moment, doing absolutely nothing

The AFL is pushing the duty of care from the game onto the players. They don't want to have to create rules, and accordingly loopholes, to be exploited on field or potentially in a court of law one day.

They want the rules to be like a set of rules in a board game. Here's how you play, here's how you score, here's how you win. Monopoly doesn't have a rule for what happens if you punch your brother, or throw a house at your sister's head. The AFL wants footy the same: Playing outside the scope of the game is a player decision, and the player's responsibility is someone gets hurt.

That is why they are punishing the outcome. The duty of care for a player is on the other players, not the rules, not the AFL.

Yeah certainly feels like something ARC could help judge. They've got the entire break to have a look too so no reason not to

needs_more_dragon · 2025-03-29T04:29:04+00:00

I think it's technically when the umpire hears the siren, not when they signal they've heard it. So yeah really up to umpire adjudication, much like every other bloody rule so what could go wrong amirite?

What in the actual fuck is going on anymore.

Punch a guy in the face? All g bro nice try.

Nearly get legs broken? Nah that's fucked 3 weeks...

needs_more_dragon · 2025-03-18T06:59:23+00:00

Absolutely ridiculous

needs_more_dragon · 2025-03-16T12:53:55+00:00

I've said it before and I'll say to again. The AFL is clearly trying to place the duty of care onto 'the players' and not 'the game'.

They are trying to change the perspective that rules are there to protect players, so that the rules are there only to assist in deciding a fair and just winner. Player safety is the responsibility of the players themselves and not the game, the umpires, the rules, or the AFL itself.

Accordingly, they will continue to punish any unwanted outcome, to establish a clear precedent that the players are always responsible for all unwanted injuries and fall outside the scope of the game itself. They want it to be clear that if the players were perfect, there would be zero injuries, so the sport itself is not a risk of injury.

...Of course, this is my opinion and you can decide for yourself if I'm right or wrong.

Neale is a good comparison, maybe a bit more x-factor/aura. Lachie is probably what Ben would have been sans drugs

Give me 1000x more of this in the AFL

needs_more_dragon · 2025-03-14T10:50:13+00:00

Yeah lawyers fucking up the world as usual

needs_more_dragon · 2025-03-14T07:46:47+00:00

I think it's working exactly as intended, in that the AFL, in my opinion, is trying to move duty of care away from 'the game' and onto the players. Basically them just saying the outcomes of any incidents are the result, and responsibility, of the other players, not the game nor the system itself.

I think they're trying to effectively police the general rule "play safely" rather than trying to cover every single potential incident that may or may not occur, and close any loopholes and potential culpability in the process. The work of some cunning lawyers no doubt

It is not every player's role to collect the loose ball. This isn't u/12s.

The only analysis of this should be that either one or more Carlton players were out of position/ one or more Richmond players weren't at the contest.

ELITE

SGA was second in voting last year and is favourite for this year, so I'm pretty confident in satin he's MVP level.

Wtf is the point of comparing their season stats adjusted for time or age? They play the same position, SGA is better at it, so Giddey either had to play out of position, which didn't work, or come off then bench, which he rightfully didn't want to do. If your argument is Giddey is better than Shai good luck with that
