It'd be funny it the new rule causes frustration for fans, like delaying the game waiting for relevant players to get in position?

**buttsie** · February 15th, 2018, 11:59 PM

The modified game to be rolled out around the world and make Aussie Rules
an international force

Rugby Union as Sevens

Cricket has T20

Aussie Rules as described by several current coaches has a no injury / bruise free
training drill

The cynic in me says this is little more than Aussie Rules trying to disrupt its competitors
in Football & Cricket

Self delusion at its best by the AFL

Against

If you wanted to kill AFL stone-dead surely you would turn it into this hollow, unappealing, pressure-free, atmosphere-deficient, oval-in-a-rectangle hole yawn-fest.

It's actually an argument for the BBL to stretch into February.

**buttsie** · February 16th, 2018, 12:50 AM

3 practice matches which nobody but die hards paid any attention to

If the AFL had a brain the pre-season would be all about visiting rural towns where their best
ready to play 18-21 year olds come from not creating another hybrid farce like International Rules played in metro settings.

The commentators were excited for about 10 minutes

tackling is happening - this actually looks like real afl

15 minutes later they were talking topics amongst themselves and only calling the game
when someone was about to score

Great product - right up there with the post season excitement of the drafts

Football March-October

Never tune into to afl until Round 1 starts 22/3/2018
Given the state of Carlton maybe 23/3/2018

Just watch the winter Olympics. Don't worry about that other crap.

Alright. I'm not proposing a tipping competition. As an active contributor on the NFL/NBA thread, I don't participate in that tipping comp because it's too hard for me to follow. So I'm just posting this, and see how I go.

Richmond v Carlton
Essendon v Adelaide
St Kilda v Brisbane
Port Adelaide v Fremantle
Gold Coast v North Melbourne
Hawthorn v Collingwood
GWS v Western Bulldogs
Melbourne v Geelong
West Coast v Sydney

**Oddie999** · March 22nd, 2018, 08:34 AM

I've a gut feeling Essendon will upset Adelaide. Hawks and Maggies could go either way. Everything else seems pretty cut & dried

**Motorboater** · March 29th, 2018, 02:48 AM

6/9 last week. It's ok, but rue damn Adelaide. What was I thinking picking Collingwood and Brisbane???

Here it goes for this week

Adelaide Crows v Richmond
North Melbourne v St Kilda
Carlton v Gold Coast Suns
Collingwood v GWS Giants
Fremantle v Essendon
Sydney Swans v Port Adelaide - Rolling the dice with this one!
Geelong Cats v Hawthorn

Edit:. Missed two games.

Brisbane Lions v Melbourne
Western Bulldogs v West Coast Eagles

Wtf is going on with st Kilda??? Where did the crows pull that from???

**buttsie** · March 30th, 2018, 06:41 AM

Not much better than AFL-W

2 goals 10 each in a half of football

Maybe they need to pay them on performance

http://www.afl.com.au/match-centre/2018/2/nmfc-v-stk

Whats bizarre with AFL is each club is forced to pay 95% of the salary cap
Only 5-10% difference in wages from 1st to last
