Don't worry though, the Rules Committee is going to stop excessive stoppages with this one weird rule change that coaches hate! Which will last all of three summer trial games before Clarkson and Lyon successfully break it.

There's a few good Hird jokes in this weeks Front Bar video, basically making fun of Carey slagging him off: http://m.afl.com.au/video/2015-07-24/friday-front-bar-shark-attacks-and-more I have become a fan of the FB, Malloy and Pang have some pretty decent jokes each week, worth a watch.

Bigfooty will be a riot after that I reckon. Don't mind a loss like that, I like seeing guys like O'Brien, Laverde, Langford, Steinberg and Browne get a game and do well. Hird can say some dumb poo poo and is probably a bad matchday coach but I'm glad he's giving the kids a go as this season begins to wind up. It's only Port, but it's good to see that a bit of practice in front of goals is probably all that stands between a young team winning or not.

gay picnic defence posted:Bigfooty will be a riot after that I reckon. Yeah it gave me a bit of heart. They just looked happier, more positive and confident. Although I think Hird is playing the kids because he literally doesn't have any choice. If he refuses to play them he would be sacked at season's end. Once they have missed the finals then win/loss becomes irrelevant if you're playing the kids and seen to be doing the right thing. Saving himself for one more year at least. Was happy with that last night, scoring over 100 was nice to see. Always easier to swallow when your team plays more attractive footy. Funny with that though, we were setting up our forward structures a lot better. When the midfield had the ball and looked up they had people in the forward line they could kick it to and so they moved the ball forward instead of sideways or backwards. Funny how when the forward line is empty they don't move it forward. One of the mighty puzzles I hope we have actually worked out. thepokey fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Jul 26, 2015 |

I'm sure I've said it before but if the league wants to make Aussie Rules more appealing, sit down with Kern and ask him what rule changes would advantage his team, and then implement them. Port Adelaide plays the game the way it should be played from an aesthetic and spiritual point of view and if we can encourage other clubs to follow suit it would be just loving awesome.

I kinda like the talk about giving teams bonus points or something if they score over 100 points. I don't know how well it'd work though but I think I prefer it to more idiotic rule changes though. I really hope they just fix the umpiring. Bring in 1 more ump on the field and make them all full time professionals. Enforce quick holding the ball and ball up calls. Stop this amateur hour bullshit where the rules seem to change every week.

Not really 100% sure if it would work or how much of an effect it would have, but I like that it puts the pressure on the coaches to initiate a more attacking style without changing any on-field rules.

There's a dude on The Roar, one of the few actual good columnists who should be hired by someone, name Ryan Buckland. He proposed a similar thing recently, his argument being that as an economist, he always felt that you should be able to incentivise people into behaing the way you want them to. The trouble with bonus points for over 100 is that you are incentivized both ways - you are encouraged to score and you are just as encouraged to prevent the opposition from scoring. It wont help anything. 'poo poo, they're on 99! Quick, flood the backline and put numbers around the ball!' 3 players in the forward 50, every stoppage, same as the center square at bounces. Wont hurt anyone.
