I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS

realbez posted:

the tribunal is agonising over the Fyfe thing

deliberating for 15 mins so far

Fair enough, a brownlow favourite clobbered a bloke and they need time to come up with a convincing reason to let him off with a fine, and possibly edit some video footage

That poo poo takes time

Big Footy nuffie level hot take: They're making him work for it so after he gets off they can definitively say they don't give Brownlow favourites preferential treatment.

Doesn’t seem like Gleeson is trying very hard to get simpkin’s suspension to stand. Hopefully they let him off, he didn’t intentionally bump imo

Probably true about former players in glass houses, but... They’re still all right about Rance.

Yeah this. It shouldn't be "they get away with it so Rance should too!" but "Rance got what he deserved and they should too". Rance is a Good Bloke (tm) though so his reputation is fine

The crowcast AFL podcast is reporting that the insane cult pre season camp the Crows ran was run by quack fraud scientists with made up qualifications and links to scientology and Tex organised it without the consent of the board and it was so bad that a bunch of senior players will be demanding trades at the end of the year

So a mod on bigfooty compiled all the free kicks over the last 15 years and turns out what everyone knew, West Coast leading by a ridiculous margin.

Somewhere in the middle I think. They've got some AFC sources that leak things to them at least, but they're not exactly double checking their info like a proper journo.

It's about to go into meltdown though, because Caro reported a month ago that Burton, the mastermind of the injury disaster, was the one who introduced the club, and probably Walker, to the Collective Minds people. He tried to do it at Brisbane, but they refused.

:rolleyes: All this chart tells me is how poo poo teams are at tackling and winning contested possessions. Because Free Kick counts always lead to success guys!!! Just look, the two most predominant grand final teams of the past decade are at the bottom of the list!

In actual news, Darling has a hairline fracture and ligaments, out 4-6 weeks.

Who said anything about success? We're talking about being stone cold cheaters who pay off umpires with hard cash and foot rubs. Unless you want to provide a different reason that also makes sense?

Only if you provide proof of said cheating. Look I wont deny that Subi had an influence with the crowd and all, but to say we're paying them off is just loving stupid. If anything you should be miffed at the AFL for not having full time umpires who are trained properly if they can't make decisions without a home crowd influencing it.

I wish there was a breakdown of what the free kicks were for, rather than just a single stat. Could have a shot at answering your question then.

Also #FreeKickHawthorn isn't about them getting 50 a match, it's about how they always, always got a critical and ludicrously wrong free kick in their favour at the exact moment they needed one to save or win a game

Free kicks for out on the full should be excluded for a start imo as the number of those where there is any controversial interpretation is negligible (a handful a year or less)

Yeah, that's an interesting question actually. Would love to see what they considered for the count.
