Quantum Shart posted:The AFL has tabled a policy on transgender athletes that is taken from international standards so they haven't "done nothing". They have international standard rules, sure, but they're tag teaming them with requiring the player to do it all on their end rather than an organizational plan. Everything around the AFL-W has been amateur hour, which is a shame because the skill level has improved markedly in two years and the games are more of a spectacle than they were. realbez posted:I thought it was only mandatory if you assaulted a cop Ambos too.

BrigadierSensible posted:Hawthorn win the VFL and VFL-W thank you very much. I also like how Tom Mitchell keeps talking about preparation less than 5 minutes after admitting his old "night before game" meal was: - a box of BBQ Shapes - Starburst - something else equally unhealthy Nutsngum posted:Mitchell is simultaneously the least damaging footballer in the competition and also single handedly kept Hawthorn's midfield afloat. I call this... a wasted chance to give Gawn the Brownlow. Last year was entirely just stat-padding, this year it's just mostly stat-padding. (He is definitely more damaging this year and while it felt like he was playing for a mysterious third team for large stretches of last year, he has definitely merged his gamestyle with what Clarko and the coaches have planned for him more this year IMHO) Schlesische fucked around with this message at 14:05 on Sep 24, 2018 |

NTRabbit posted:I'm not. The Swans value purposeful and direct possessions in their midfield. He fell into the same situation as John Kennedy had in the late-2000s at Hawthorn. There wasn't a Mitchell shaped hole in the Sydney midfield until after he'd been traded. IMHO, his contributions this year have been massive and he's been the midfield workhorse. O'Meara has grown immensely as a player, Isaac Smith has had impressive run and carry and Liam Shiels provides more than he will likely ever get credit for but the Hawks don't sniff the finals if Mitchell isn't in the squad. Go back and look at the time line-up for the Semi-final vs Melbourne. Take Mitchell out of that midfield and replace him with Jono O'Rourke. Tell me how far you think that midfield is going to get.

Periphery posted:Mitchell shouldn't have got it cause he should have been suspended for intentionally elbowing a player in the face. I'm assuming you know who won the CA "Champion player" this year then. Fun fact: the coaches have awarded Gerard Whateley "Best Journo" 4 years in a row.

snoremac posted:I think Richmond’s non-dominance was exposed in every loss this year when teams (Adel, Port, GWS, Coll, WC) shot ahead early by 30+ points and revealed they have no fallback plan if their defensive structure is broken through. Great strategy but poor tactical response. Carlton broke through it too but it was Carlton so they still lost. Good system, terrible coaching?

Before the 1972 Summit Series, a journalist predicted that the USSR wouldn't beat Canada in a single game. To make it stronger he declared that if he was wrong he would eat his prediction, shredded in a bowl of borscht (he did, in fact, eat his words). Robert Walls should have to eat his prediction shredded in a Perth delicacy. Molten Iron feels about right. Schlesische fucked around with this message at 13:27 on Sep 29, 2018 |

NTRabbit posted:Kelly staying at Geelong The whole compensation thing is what makes thr AFLs free agency thing a bit weird. Look at the NA sports and its basically "gently caress it, you're not resigning so we're trading you for a bag of used pucks/deflated balls/hoop nets", but if Kelly plays well and gets a high enough contract offer from West Coast or Freo then the Cats are going to be happy see him go. thepokey posted:I'm hoping he can go to another level under us like we took Dev Smith to. I don't see Shiel jumping to another level without Essendon going back to the fringes of sports science. Its possibly overs but its not ludicrously so. Burton for Wingard would be a good example of overs.
