That sounds like a terrible decision. Watching the players come out and kick the ball at the goals is one of the fun parts of the pre-match

Yeah that seems like just a pointless thing to get rid off. Who the gently caress doesn't love watching them take potshots at goal or just doing stuff that they'd never get to do in an actual game

You like watching the athletes/sportspeople you came to see practice their athletic skills? Nah mate, we'll give you a D grade celebrity with a mic on the big screen trying to get someone to wave on camera for the chance to win a free pie. That'll get the fans engaged.

So the AFL didn't make a rules change and instead had to gently caress about with poo poo this way huh

BTW has anyone had any trouble putting their tips in? I keep getting the emails saying REACTIVATE YOUR COMP NOWWWW but as far as I'm aware it's working OK. I did purge anyone who hasn't logged in since 2016 so if you're one of these people who completely slept over Richmond's premiership year... yeah.

I don't really see why anyone would care if clubs can't warm up 40min before a game? Particularly if it means we get more VFL games beforehand. More fan engagement I can live without though.

I guess it means I don’t have to watch someone like Daniher line up 50m out directly in front and put it dead Center through the middle before the game....then 10mins into the first quarter he has a shot from the exact same spot, filling me with hope, only to see it go out on the full.

Pretty sure the Saints haven't been doing a proper warmup for the last year or two and they've had one of the best injury lists in the league over that time. E: I may be mistaken, but they definitely don't do a big warmup directly before the game?

Ebony Marinoff split her tongue in a head clash against Carlton, and had to have it stitched back together after the game. A request from the coach to keep sewing and stitch her whole mouth shut was declined by the club doctor.

cmndstab posted:Ouch. From memory I thought she played the match out, did I remember it wrong? She did. “It hurt and my tongue felt weird, but I had no idea it was in two pieces!,” Marinoff said. “It was just after half time, so I was fresh and didn’t think I needed to come off at that stage.” It wasn’t until after the game that the Club doctor informed Marinoff she’d need several stitches in her tongue. Despite the bizarre injury, the tough onballer was judged Adelaide’s best player on the night along with co-captain Chelsea Randall.

Sam Naismith has done his ACL, poor guy. Without Tippett, Sydney are very low on ruck stocks.

Didn't he retire though?

I thought he was strongly encouraged to gently caress off. I'm sure that they had good reasons, allegedly he just wasnt putting in at training, but still 1 ruck > 0 ruck

They could ask him nicely if he wouldn’t mind playing, but that would be pretty embarrassing.

Do "retirements" even officially occur before the list lodgement at the end of the year anyway? I guess if they are claiming to have saved some money on his contract, it must have, but in my mind he's still technically on the list. It's a bit like last year when Scott Thompson retired mid-season, and then there was some talk about him possibly getting a call-up late in the year to cover an injury.
|
# ? Mar 7, 2018 06:32 |

He is still on the list, but if they were to bring him back to play it would undermine their stated claim that he is so chronically injured that he is no longer capable of playing.

they still have callum sinclair who might end up relishing the responsibility

They also have Darcy Cameron, who I believe was pretty close to playing last season.

I thought Tippett's retirement was a Salary thing. As in because he is retired, they only have to pay out a percentage of the last year of his contract. Hence why a bunch of the big monster long term contracts are back-loaded. But I could be very very wrong on this.
