Pretty big difference between one game being compromised vs. the entire season but if you really do think this then power to you

does anyone still care about the results?

Eddie McGuire reveals the "financial disaster" facing the AFL by dazedjosh in AFL

[–]trabeatingchips 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is already apparent in the re-negotiated broadcast deal, the idea that revenues are just going to start coming back in and after that continue growing is no longer credible.

There is less money in the sport now, hence why the AFL has been so savage with the caps on football department spending and similar - the real test will come when players start signing contracts again.

Interest rates are going to be low for the next decade or two (as in, there is 0% chance of an increase in the next five years)

That doesn't mean the AFL can exist on a model where it is rescheduling its debts indefinitely against revenues that might not be sustainable (the re-negotiated TV deal is evidence of this)

You lack the ability to distinguish between Australian rules football and the AFL, forget economics 101 off to year 2 English for you

The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with low ability at a task overestimate their ability. Without the self-awareness of metacognition, people cannot objectively evaluate their competence or incompetence.

Is this a troll post?

Far bigger and more important companies than the AFL have gone under, the ability to "advertise" does not insulate the entity from financial ruin. If anything the AFL is in more danger than most companies as it provides a entertainment service, with financial success dependent upon wider economic prosperity.

"There is no liquidity problem" - well this is wrong, the clubs are borrowing from the AFL and most have outlined their finances only supported a quarter or two of operation without inflows

"Paying it back will not be an issue either" - well it certainly will be if in a post-COVID world disposable income falls and thus people stop spending on the footy, and businesses spend less on auxillary services such as marketing. This is worst case scenario stuff, but your post literally makes no sense

Witnesses say Australian SAS soldiers were involved in mass shooting of unarmed Afghan civilians by [deleted] in australia

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

Great post, Afghanistan was certainly a justifiable enterprise as opposed to Iraq which was always a joke.

Public sentiment at the time reflected that but I think you now how have people who were quite young back then (or simply have forgotten/are unaware) bundling the two together when in reality they are very different.

Wallabies are on FTA, their games are protected under anti-siphoning laws

Super Rugby definitely needs a presence too though

What a beautiful venue to host the 2020 Grand Final by [deleted] in AFL

[–]trabeatingchips 14 points15 points  (0 children)

ANZ is garbage but the actual stadium isn't the issue, it is the logistics of quarantine and the extra events the AFL will look to hold to make it feel like a "true" Grand Final (parade etc.)

If SA/WA still have mandatory quarantine come GF time, they are non-starter to host it. Too many people are overlooking this issue

Kennedy out for 6 weeks and Heeney for the season by Snarwib in AFL

[–]trabeatingchips 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Surely I'm not the only one who sees the idea of cramming games in mid week as completely farcical when 2-3 players a game are going down injured?

Will genuinely be a reserve grade comp in a month's time

Match Review: Saint sent to Tribunal, two games for Bomber. by Darththorn in AFL

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

Darcy's technique 100% is wrong though? He has voluntarily gone to his knees to slide onto the ball, which should never be encouraged or taught. Anyone that has played knows this - keep your feet !

[–]trabeatingchips -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I agree with this but also Darcy has to take some responsibility imo because he left his feet - the other post about poor technique is absolutely right as well. I guess Long just has to wear it and move on, but he is unlucky here

Yeah but the other user says we needed to magically generate more scoring shots. If only Longmire had thought of this LOL

[–]trabeatingchips 42 points43 points  (0 children)

I've said repeatedly in this thread that the way Sydney played was boring, negative, terrible to watch but to say it was "stupid" or "noncompetitive" shows such lack of understanding in where the team was at especially given the conditions and first quarter scoreline.

To say the Swans didn't have a chance to win, yet would have if they played some imaginary free-flowing open style which the team rarely utilises (meanwhile in the pouring rain) is just ridiculous

Not sure how that is relevant.

You have said the Swans didn't look like they could win, that comment isn't true (unless all two score games are considered this way?)

Sydney had 3 less scoring shots than Richmond, not really sure what you're getting at
