AFLX with players being selected by team captains and at the end of a pre-season shouldn’t ever be taken that seriously. There’s a reason there aren’t major injuries in the NFL’s all-star game, and it’s because the players know it’s for fun.

There’s always some arshole who takes it all too seriously and can’t just play for fun

I have nothing to add except that Hong Kong has a bunch of ovals (:britain:) and expats (at least used to) play footy every now and then. I don’t know about now I haven’t lived there for years.

People have said its simply a matter of telling interchanging players to carry a message but that isn't going to help much if it's a forward and the coach wants to change a defensive structure. It might be asking a bit much to expect a player to take on board a bunch of instructions specific to them, and then a bunch more for their other team mates too.

There might have been a handful of times across over 200 games that a runner got in the way of play and even then it is doubtful any of those incidents affected the outcome in any meaningful way so once again the AFL has come up with the solution to a question nobody was really asking.

Nah it’s good they banned runners. Teams (Sydney) were using them to block space. It happened more than once (Sydney), which is too many times.

Then simply make them have to run out and back in a direct fashion otherwise a free is paid.

People complain about runners out of one half their mouth then would bitch when coaches are unable to make tactical changes when needed. Footy fields are loving big, its hard even to convey proper messages 50meters away let alone on the opposite wing.

Rather then wasting thousands on stupid message boards that cant be read, employing one extra staffer to stop runners loving around seems like a far better idea.

A whiteboard is like ten bucks at Kmart. The runners can still come on between goals it’s not like the players and coaches are cut off for the entire quarter.

The new 50m rule that is resulting in 100m penalties is hilarious and extremely AFL. Can’t wait for it to ruin a game early in the year and get canned.

At that game the Sydney supporters sitting in front of me defended Barry’s brain snap by telling me all about how Buddy Franklin was a no good junkie. I wonder if they are fans of his now? Hm.

There was vision of Grimes going down off the ball after a collision with Cox. I don't know there was that much in it. Hopefully Grimes gets way more for his hit on Elliott.

I think it was Grimes anyway. I'm bad at names.

Here is the Cox one

Grimes only got a week for his elbow to the face of Elliot. Cox should have got nothing and Grimes should get 2+. Instead we get a week each.
