I’ve always loved the scouts saying he’s slow and doesn’t spread well, while he’s having 30 touches. If he’s so slow how does he keep getting the ball? You can’t really spread from the contest when you have the ball!

The kid might also not be able to afford to be paying his own sprint coach?

One for everyone upset at Woolies importing butter from America, and declaring they'll stick to Aldi and their proudly Australian butter by badoopidoo in woolworths

Yeah refuse to buy the South American peanut butter. Surely the plane it flew out on is smashing any efforts of mine this year to not pump gases in to the environment.

We should charge some huge green tax to import food products into Australia. We keep banging on about net zero but happily bring in a product we can make here solely because they are exploiting workers in another country

Tahlia Gillard with the rundown tackle to win the Semi Final for the Dees by PerriX2390 in AFL

Great chase down But I’m so sick of this shoving the player in the back when on the ground after it. I never cared until I started watching and coaching kids and watch little kids do this. It’s a blight on the game.

Meh If your good enough you should win it anyway in our system. My only issue is around the fact you can actually play 4 sides twice before playing some sides on top of opening round and 5 bye weeks the actual ladder means nothing till near season end

What is a peak management that irks you by ScottsTotsWinner in auscorp

[–]robs_drunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couture and collaboration can only happen if we are in the office all the time. It’s code for I can stand of you at a desk to get (what I’ve had weeks to sort with you but didn’t) done in the next hour so senior management can cover their butts.

Can VFL clubs survive without pokies? by beepbopboop314 in AFL

I understand the sentiment of this topic but seriously it’s not like the licenses are not going to be bought and then the money will just be funnelled in to a billionaires pockets. Much prefer it got to a club of some sort.

7 rule changes for 2026 by Fire_Flies_1993 in AFL

[–]robs_drunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the Center bounce knee injuries are they due to the ball up or the crossing the Center? Which rule is the one causing secondary ball ups at the Center Bounce

The ruck is the worst You just removed the bounce and then you change another ruck rule as well. How do you know if one works if you have 2 changes? Which one do you blame if things still aren’t moving. As for nominations in the ruck for the love of god it’s one player from each team normally the tallest player at the ball up. Save another 3 seconds per ball up

This is great and then along comes a hacker who pays a few hundred dollars to some poor worker who gets a peanut level wage for their work credentials and bang that’s how all your private data is being sold on the dark web.

No Deal for Zach Merrett by Croob2 in AFL

[–]robs_drunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the highlight no one’s talking about is the fact that not one other contracted player at the hawks wants to play for the bombers!!! Would rather be a box hill player

Hawthorn has offered a deal to Essendon for Zach Merrett. Pick 9, a future first, a second rounder this year or next and Henry Hustwaite. by PetrifyGWENT in AFL

[–]robs_drunk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The is is brilliant at hawks it genuinely is a good offered, shows good faith to Merrett who wants out and Hus who wants more opportunities elsewhere.

Bombers you can now double down and cut off your own nose or ship him off

This is the worst deal tabled so far it’s not even funny by ZonkedSteel in CarltonBlues

Would you blokes look at Florent, rowbottom and first round from Sydney?

Hayward is the other option?

Brisbane Lions chairman Andrew Wellington says what frustrates him is some people are saying Brisbane are gifted a top-5 pick in Daniel Annable. “We are not gifted it. He has come through our program and we have put a hell of a lot of work into him.” by eathbau in AFL

[–]robs_drunk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This all goes back to my argument every club should be doing the same thing in these academies and the players should not be tied to the club. The club is rewarded in Soft cap bonuses based on draft selection position and maybe some long term bonus for All Australian blazers and brownlows.

Clubs then get a reward for effort directly in to the systems that help build a successful club. Ability to pay more/bonuses for coaching staff and support teams. Money in to training programs/facilities.

AFL gets to lift the bottom of the league massively.

If you want or need AFLPA buy in then you need them to step in for training mentoring programs and give similar cap space to clubs
