    To be in contention for a premiership, obviously you need talent, but you also need a fit list and everyone in form and on the same page ,

    That’s where Richmond were in 17 and 18 , first and third ,

    That’s where Geelong are now , looking the real deal

    Adelaide were doing that in June 2017 , Richmond last year ,

    The main concern for Geelong, it’s a pretty old team , their window will close pretty quickly , it’s now or never ,

    I like David kings analysis, and he said , when you come up with a new game plan or innovation, and it’s working really well, you have to capitalise on it straight away and win that premiership, because teams quickly work it out and it becomes yesterday’s news before you know it , and then it’s gone

    Because the sellotape held overnight. That looked terrible.

    I love AFL, but there's a lot of faggy shit these skinny fucks get away with.

    Stratton has spent all night pinching Fantasia's arm to the point where he has bruises. That is piss weak.

    There has always been an element of that compared to the rugby codes ,

    ive probably followed it longer than most here because of family connections in melbourne ,

    I can remember when it was anything goes in Rugby , League and Rules , early 80s ,

    In the rugby codes they would stand up facing each other and trade punches , in Aussie rules they would king hit guys in the back of the head when they werent looking

    These men can’t show their faces in photos for fear of shame and retribution from family and friends

    I recall going to a Collingwood - St Kilda match many years ago and being shocked by some of the expletive language coming from the fans directed to umpires. One particular abuse hurler was a lady probably in her 60's - would have loved to see these BAO's have tried to remove her from the stadium

    well, you know, early in the season, we had a bunch of assaults at the footy, and people claimed something had to be done. The game has this culture where it of perfectly okay to just sit there and abuse the shit out of umpires, and any player unlucky enough to mark close tot he boundary, or you know, score a running goal.

    People wanted something done, so the AFL did this. And now people are up in arms about it. Because they can't call the umpire a fluffybunny without getting kicked out.

    It appears the AFL have taken it too far, and there has been a distinct lack of communication about what these guys are doing, and what the limits are. But the AFL had to do something, because people cannot control themselves.

    Who are these people? The vast majority of fans?

    Are things really so bad? Surely it's much better now than it ever was. Unless history now starts at circa 2015.

    it was probably worse in the 80s, but is that really the yardstick we should be using?

    The vast majority of fans aren't massive ferals, and are in no danger of getting booted.

    The 80s was a long time ago. What is the yardstick and again, who are these people that are complaining? The AFL fucked up here. Blaming the fans is very disingenuous.
